RaspberryPi 3 - NOOBS新體驗

體驗一下什麼是NOOBS - new out of box software,

首先要準備幾個東西:
1. 4 GB以上 microSD card
2. micro USB 5V/ 2A 電源
3. USB 滑鼠 & 鍵盤
4. HDMI線 & 螢幕
5. CAT5 網路線 (option)

來到Raspberrypi網站
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/

NOOBS有兩個版本, 標準版 & Lite 版 NOOBS 標準版1 GB

NOOBS Lite 27.2 MB

標準版內包含了raspbian OS, 可以立刻安裝raspbian不需要網路, 其他都要線上安裝, Lite版就通通要線上安裝, 27.2MB也真夠lite了, 如果Raspberry Pi沒辦辦法接網路就只能下載標準版了.

我們抓NOOBS標準版, 之後再來選擇要安裝哪個版本OS, 

(如果你的Raspberry Pi有辦法接上網路, 也是可以安裝 Lite版本的)

[ 以下以標準版為例 ]

下載完成後, 
打開 NOOBS_v1_9_2.zip 裡面的 INSTRUCTIONS-README.txt

我們先看一下裡面寫什麼:

-------------- INSTRUCTIONS-README.txt 檔案內容 ---------------

NOOBS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert an SD card that is 4GB or greater in size into your computer.

2. Format the SD card using the platform-specific instructions below:

   a. Windows

      i. Download the SD Association's Formatting Tool from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/

      ii. Install and run the Formatting Tool on your machine

      iii. Set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON" in the "Options" menu

      iv. Check that the SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the Tool

      v. Click the "Format" button

   b. Mac

      i. Download the SD Association's Formatting Tool from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_mac/

      ii. Install and run the Formatting Tool on your machine

      iii. Select "Overwrite Format"

      iv. Check that the SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the Tool

      v. Click the "Format" button

   c. Linux

      i. We recommend using gparted (or the command line version parted)

      ii. Format the entire disk as FAT

3. Extract the files contained in this NOOBS zip file.

4. Copy the extracted files onto the SD card that you just formatted so that this file is at the root directory of the SD card. Please note that in some cases it may extract the files into a folder, if this is the case then please copy across the files from inside the folder rather than the folder itself.

5. Insert the SD card into your Pi and connect the power supply.

Your Pi will now boot into NOOBS and should display a list of operating systems that you can choose to install.

If your display remains blank, you should select the correct output mode for your display by pressing one of the following number keys on your keyboard:

1. HDMI mode - this is the default display mode.

2. HDMI safe mode - select this mode if you are using the HDMI connector and cannot see anything on screen when the Pi has booted.

3. Composite PAL mode - select either this mode or composite NTSC mode if you are using the composite RCA video connector.

4. Composite NTSC mode

If you are still having difficulties after following these instructions, then please visit the Raspberry Pi Forums ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/ ) for support.

其實步驟寫得相當詳細, 按照上面的步驟, 我們一步一步完成OS安裝

################## 開始安裝OS囉 ####################

[ Setup microSD card]

Download & Install SDFormatterv4
先到下面的網址下載 SDFormatter,
我的系統是windows, 所以下載windows版本
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/index.html

這裡提到一些License 問題, 要看完也是夠累人的, 就先跳過吧
滑鼠往下拉有三個選項

點選Accept 下載SD Formatter
下載完成後, 點擊 SDFormatterv4.zip , 解開壓縮檔裡面的setup.exe並執行.

接這就點選 Next -> Next ->Install 完成安裝

安裝很麻煩? 不想裝一堆奇奇怪怪的軟體? 我也這樣覺得,
這裡有[ 免安裝中文版 ] :
到阿榮去看看 http://www.azofreeware.com/2013/12/sd-formatter-40-sd.html

Format microSD card
接著利用 SDFormatter對microSD 卡做格式化:

STEP 1 選擇你要格式化的SD 卡, 這裡只會列出SD card , 所以不會不小心格式化到你的系統槽 (除非你的系統在SD card上 XD), 選擇好後, 確認下方"Size" 是不是正確的( double check )
STEP 2 給SD card 取一個名字, 當然也可以空白.
STEP 3 點選Format.
接著就等格式化完成.

Extract NOOBS_v1_9_2.zip
把前面下載的 NOOBS_v1_9_2.zip 解壓縮到 SD卡裡.

這樣前置作業就完成囉


[ Power on Rpi and Install OS ]
把前面安裝好 NOOBS的 microSD 卡插入Raspberry Pi (卡座在背面喔)

接上螢幕, 網路( 可不接), USB 滑鼠, 最後接上電源.....

上電後, 會有一顆黃色LED 閃一下, 紅色電源燈恆亮, HDMI 螢幕就會有東西囉.

很快就進入NOOBS, 如果有網路, 會自動搜尋可安裝的OS,

沒有連接網路時的安裝畫面

有網路的安裝畫面

STEP 1 接著點選你要安裝的OS, 沒網路時就只有一個選擇 - Raspbian
STEP 2 接著點選 Install ,
STEP 3 然後會跳出警告畫面, 告訴你SD卡資料會被覆蓋 卜啦卜啦的,沒得選, 要安裝就是點選 Yes

進入安裝畫面 (下圖)

順利的話, 約20分鐘就會安裝完成, 點選OK, 系統就會進入OS

到這裡就算大功告成, 簡單吧, 開始享用你的 Raspberry Pi吧!

安裝NOOBS上, 我倒是沒有遇到問題, 過程中都很順利,
測試 Raspbian, 在RaspberryPi 3相當順暢, 比起一代卡卡的感覺 Pi3倒是不會, 不過我只是點選網頁測試而已, 沒有用到複雜的功能, 也沒有開太多軟體, 畢竟1GB的 RAM也不該太苛求.
