Unit 2: Setting Up the Raspberry Pi


After configuring the pre-registering the Raspberry Pi information in EnOS, you can start to set up the Raspberry Pi.

Prerequisites


  • Ensure that you have the following accessories.

    • A display with HDMI input. In this tutorial, a computer monitor is used.
    • A computer.
    • A keyboard and mouse.
    • An SD card and a USB SD card reader.


  • Ensure that you have the following Raspberry Pi hardware. Other than the Raspberry Pi Computer itself, the rest of the hardware can be found in the Grove Base Kit for Raspberry Pi.
