• Detailed information and other resellers can be found on the Buying Guide page.

• You can find out which peripherals and such are tested to work with the Pi in the Verified Peripherals section

Basic Setup

First little Raspberry Pi Steps...

• Ensure you have all the equipment you need to go with your Raspberry Pi.
• Become familiar with the board layout and connect it ready for power up.
• If you have not been provided with a pre-setup SD card you will need to prepare one with your chosen Operating System distribution
• If you are not using a HDMI monitor you may need to set up the correct video mode by editing the RPiconfig text file on the SD-card.
• Note: On the Debian OS after you log in you need to type startx at the prompt to get a graphic desktop.
• Particularly after first boot its important to do a clean shutdown with the command sudo halt
