1.Aim: To Familiarize with the Raspberry Pi SBC and Perform Necessary Software
Installations.
The Raspberry Pi is a versatile, credit-card-sized computer that can run a full-fledged operating system. It
provides an affordable and accessible platform for learning programming, electronics, and computing. The
Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom ARM-based processor and various ports for connectivity, such as HDMI,
USB, GPIO pins, and an Ethernet port.
Software Installation
Before using the Raspberry Pi, you need to install the operating system (Raspberry Pi OS) onto the SD card.
This can be done using a tool like the Raspberry Pi Imager or other imaging software. The system can then
be booted up, and you can configure the device for first use.
4.Steps involved:
Insert the microSD card into your computer and ensure it is empty (use SD Formatter if needed).
Download the Raspberry Pi Imager from the official website and install it on your computer.

Plug in the power supply to the Raspberry Pi. The system will boot up automatically.
The first boot will prompt you to complete the initial configuration (language, region, password, internet .).
Software Installation
Once the OS is installed and the system is booted, open a terminal window.
To update the system and install necessary software, run the following commands:
sudo apt install [software-package-name] # For additional tools like Python, Git, etc.
Pins: Use GPIO pins for controlling LEDs, sensors, or motors. Install Python libraries like
RPi.GPIO or gpiozero for control.
Camera Module: Attach the camera module to the CSI port and enable it via the
Configuration tool.
I2C/SPI Devices: Use I2C or SPI to interface with hardware like displays or sensors.
HDMI Displays: Connect a monitor or TV using the micro HDMI ports.
Shutdown Safely:
5.Conclusion
This experiment successfully familiarized me with the Raspberry Pi hardware and software setup process.
By installing the Raspberry Pi OS and verifying the installation, I’m now ready to begin working on more
complex projects with Raspberry Pi.
