This document provides instructions for setting up a Raspberry Pi 3. It includes a list of required hardware like the Raspberry Pi 3 board, micro SD card, HDMI cable, keyboard and mouse. It then describes formatting the micro SD card, downloading the Raspbian OS image, using Win32 Disk Imager to write the image to the micro SD card, inserting the micro SD card into the Raspberry Pi 3, and doing simple testing by connecting the Raspberry Pi 3 to a TV with an HDMI cable.

4. Raspberri pi 3 Specification
The Raspberry Pi 3 is the third generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in February 2016.
• A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 CPU
• 802.11n Wireless LAN
• Bluetooth 4.1
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
• 1GB RAM
• 4 USB ports
• 40 GPIO pins
• Full HDMI port
• Ethernet port
• Combined 3.5mm audio jack and composite video
• Camera interface (CSI)
• Display interface (DSI)
• Micro SD card slot (now push-pull rather than push-push)
• VideoCore IV 3D graphics core

5. Slots we use
Slot to insert micro SD card
Slot for HDMI cable
Slot to connect USB power cable

6. Micro SD card
• The Raspberry Pi should work with any compatible SD card, although
there are some guidelines.
• For installation of NOOBS, the minimum recommended card size is
8GB. For image installations we recommend a minimum of 4GB.
• The original Raspberry Pi Model A and Raspberry Pi Model B require
full-size SD cards. The newer Raspberry Pi Model A+, Raspberry Pi
Model B+, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspberry Pi Zero, and Raspberry
Pi 3 Model B require micro SD cards.

7. USB power cable
• The easiest way to power the
Raspberry Pi is via the Micro USB
port on the side of the unit. The
recommended input voltage is 5V,
and the recommended input
current is 2A. I connected from my
laptop

8. HDMI cable
• HDMI cable is used to connect your
raspberry to TV. TV will be the
display unit for the raspberry.

9. Softwares
• Raspbian (OS) or Noobs
• SD Card Formatter
• Win32 Disk Imager
• PuTTY

10. SD Card Formatter
• The Raspberry Pi's bootloader, built into the GPU and non-updateable, only
has support for reading from FAT filesystems (both FAT16 and FAT32)
• If your card is 64 GB or higher, it seems the file format is exFat which is not
supported for NOOB.
• So if you want to use NOOBS on a card that is 64GB or larger, you need to
reformat it as FAT32 first before copying the NOOBS files to it.
• You can download the SD Card Formatter from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/index.ht
ml
• Follow the steps http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2015/03/how-to-
format-pi-sd-cards-using-sd-formatter/ to format the card.

11. SD Card Formatter
1. Choose the drive where you
insert your SD Card.
2. Enter some volume level. It’s
optional
3. Select QUICK Format
4. Click on format button

12. RASPBIAN or NOOBS?
• You can choose either Noobs or Raspbian.
• If you download Noobs, you directly copy the files after you extract
the .zip file
• If you download Raspbian, you will download as .img file. This is the
image of the OS. You need to extract using a software like Win32
Image Writer.
In this documentation, we have use Raspbian. But you can use NOOBS
also instead of Raspbian.

13. Raspbian – the OS for Raspberri
• Raspbian is the Foundation’s official supported Operating System. You
can install it with NOOBS or download the raspbian image.
• I will provide details of downloading the raspbian image and install it
to the SD card.
• You can also get the details at
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-
images/README.md

14. • Download raspbian from
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
• The download file would look like
• After you download unzip it. It is a Disk image file. It will look like:
Raspbian – the OS for Raspberri

15. Writing image with Win32 Disk Imager
After downloading the raspbian image now it’s time to write into the SD card.
• Download the Win32DiskImager utility from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download`
• Run Win32DiskImager utility manager
• Select the image file you extracted earlier.
• Select the drive letter of the SD card in the device box. Be careful to select the
correct drive: if you choose the wrong drive you could destroy the data on your
computer's hard disk! If you are using an SD card slot in your computer and can't
see the drive in the Win32DiskImager window, try using an external SD adapter.
• Click 'Write' and wait for the write to complete.
• Exit the imager and eject the SD card.

16. Writing image into disk
1. Choose the image which we
have downloaded from the
raspbian portal.
2. Choose drive letter of your SD
card
3. Click on write button to write
image into SD Card

17. Insert card into Raspberry pi 3
• Now we have SD Card installed
with Rasbian, the operating
system for Raspberry.
• You need to insert the card into
Raspbberry in the SD Card slot.
The card slot is shown in our
previous slide.

18. Simple Testing with TV and HDMI cable
Just to see your Raspberry pi is working you connect to your TV. Make
sure SD card is properly inserted. Follow the below steps.
1. Power on your Raspberry pi 3 using USB Power cable.
2. Connect HDMI cable to TV and Raspberry PI
3. Switch on your TV. It should boot from the Raspberry OS.

19. • After booting, it will show on TV as:
All Done

20. Connect keyboard & Mouse
• To operate, you need to connect Keyboard and mouse to the
Raspberry pi 3
