Note:
When booting from SSD, ensure there are no other USB Flash Disks plugged
into your PiDesktop as this may result in an error of the Raspberry Pi not finding
the correct boot device.

Camera Installation (OPTIONAL)
2.7.1
Setting up the Camera Hardware
Note:
The RaspiCam camera modules are static-sensitive. Earth yourself prior to
handling the PCB.
The camera board attaches to the Raspberry Pi via a 15-way ribbon cable. The
ribbon cable must be attached to the camera PCB, as well as to the Raspberry Pi
itself. The camera will not work if the cable is in the incorrect orientation. To
ensure correct orientation follow the instructions below:
Although the connectors on the Camera PCB and the Raspberry Pi are different,
they work in a similar way. On the Raspberry Pi, pull up the tabs on each end of
the connector. It should slide up easily and be able to move back and forth
slightly. Fully insert the ribbon cable into the slot, ensuring it is straight and that
the blue backing is facing towards the AV and USB connections of the Raspberry
Pi. Gently press down the tabs to secure the cable in place. The cable connector
on the camera PCB also requires you to pull the tabs away from the board, gently
insert the cable, then push the tabs back down to secure the cable. For correct
orientation, ensure the blue backing of the cable end is facing away from the PCB
(away from the camera lens).
The cable connector on the camera PCB is a little more awkward than the one on
the Raspberry Pi itself. You can watch a video showing you how to attach the
connectors at

(scroll down for the video).
2.7.2
Setting up the Camera Software:
Execute the following instructions on the command line to download and install
the latest kernel, GPU firmware, and applications. You will need an internet
connection for this to work correctly.
