First Boot: Meet Your Raspberry Pi

10 Lektionen in dieser Stufe

1. What a Single-Board Computer Is and What It Is Not
   Explain how a single-board computer differs from a desktop PC and from a microcontroller board. · Lab: Sort ten project ideas into "single-board computer", "microcontroller" or "PC" and write one reason for each choice.
2. Choosing Between Pi 5, Pi 4, Zero 2 W and Pico
   Match a board to a project by comparing CPU, memory, ports, power draw and price. · Lab: Fill in a comparison table for four boards and pick the right one for five example projects.
3. A Tour of the Board: Ports, Header and Connectors
   Name every connector on a Pi 5 and a Pi 4 and say what plugs into it. · Lab: Label a printed photo of your board, then find the camera, fan, power-button and PCIe connectors on the real thing.
4. Powering the Pi Correctly: 5 V, 5 A and USB-C PD
   Explain why the Pi 5 wants a 27 W supply and what a weaker supply costs you. · Lab: Read the label on three chargers, decide which are suitable and note the USB current limit each would cause.
5. Picking and Preparing a microSD Card
   Choose a card by capacity and speed class and handle it without damaging it. · Lab: Read the markings on your card, record capacity and class, and check it mounts in the card reader.
6. Flashing Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm with Raspberry Pi Imager
   Write a 64-bit Bookworm image with a preset username, Wi-Fi and locale. · Lab: Flash the card with Raspberry Pi Imager using the customisation dialog and verify the write.
7. Assembling the Case, Cooler and Cables Before Power-On
   Fit the cooler and case in the right order while avoiding static damage. · Lab: Mount the active cooler, plug in the fan cable, close the case and connect display and keyboard before power.
8. First Boot and a Walk Through the Desktop
   Complete the first-boot steps and find the menu, file manager, browser and settings. · Lab: Boot the Pi, connect to Wi-Fi from the taskbar and change the wallpaper and screen resolution.
9. Opening the Terminal and Running Your First Commands
   Run simple commands and read their output without fear of breaking anything. · Lab: Run whoami, hostname, date, uname -a and cat /proc/cpuinfo and write down model and memory.
10. Updating the System and Shutting Down Safely
    Keep the system current with apt and power off without corrupting the card. · Lab: Run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade, then shut down from the menu and, on a Pi 5, with the power button.
