Installation

1. Follow the steps on Installation_guide#Initialization

2. Choose the raspberry-pi0 device

3. Start the build process and install the completed image to a sdcard (replace /dev/sdX with the device for your sdcard)

$ ./pmbootstrap.py install --sdcard /dev/sdX

4. Place the sdcard into the Raspberry Pi and boot it

5. Connect a microUSB cable to the central microUSB port (with the USB label)

6. Let the RPI boot and then you should be able to connect using SSH

$ ssh user@172.16.42.1

Issues

3D Acceleration (GPU)

The vc4 module fails to load:
