ARM installer for R Pi 3

Ask Fedora
14

@computersavvy as expected, writing to the sd card worked fine using the sd card reader. Just to sum up

  1. Change directory to cd Downloads (where the raw image is downloaded)
  2. Plug in the card reader with the card in it
  3. Check the device / partitions by $ lsblk
    No partitions identified.
  4. $ sudo fdisk -l
    Disk /dev/sda: 29.81 GiB, 32010928128 bytes, 62521344 sectors
    Disk model: MassStorageClass
  5. Clean up anything that may have been corrupted by prior attempts with
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda  bs=1024 count=1
  1. Write the image to the device using the ARM image writer.
$ sudo arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Server-35-1.2.armhfp.raw.xz --media=/dev/sda --resizefs

= Installation Complete! Insert into the board and boot.

It is booted up okay. I didn’t create a user name and moved to the login prompt.

Question: On the fedora login prompt/password what should I enter?

Thanks for being patient with me, much appreciated.

I’ll continue next steps: remote access for headless set-up, networking/config, storage/RAID, SAMBA share, rdiff, and Cockpit.
