Operating System and Drivers
When you order the emVIEW-7/RPI3
with pre-installed software (Raspbian operating system), then
our default Janz Tec image is pre-installed on the µSD-card and the emVIEW-7/RPI3 driver package
is already installed and fully configured. For more information, refer to 5.2.
Of course, you can order the emVIEW-7/RPI3 without software, so you can choose a Raspberry PI 3
B compatible operating system of your choice and install it manually on a µSD card. (Raspbian
recommended)
Refer to 5.1.1 on how to install an image from the official Raspberry Pi website.
5.1
Standard Raspbian Operating System
If the additional interfaces of the emVIEW-7/RPI3 (RTC, CAN and RS232/RS485) are not required,
then the latest official Raspbian operating system is recommend for emVIEW-7/RPI3 systems. (Digital
IO and LEDs are controllable by standard GPIO commands and console (RS232) is supported by
Raspbian by default). To use all the emVIEW-7/RPI3 features, refer to chapter 5.2 and 5.3.
