PiXtend V2 -L- Hardware Manual
5.2. Preparing a SD card
If you have ordered a pre-installed SD card from our shop, you can start right away and
creating your own SD card is not necessary.
However, if you want to create a SD card for your Raspberry Pi nevertheless, you will find
information on how to do this in this chapter.
We provide various SD card images in our download area at
https://www.pixtend.de/downloads
. Depending on the type of image you want, the
"Images" always include a current version of the Raspbian operating system and also one
of the following preconfigured options:
•
PiXtend V2
Basic Image
with PiXtend Linux Tools including the PiXtend C-library
(pxdev), PiXtend Python Library V2 with examples, Node-RED & OpenPLC
•
CODESYS Control Demo
with CODESYS V3.5 Runtime Extension for the
Raspberry Pi & PiXtend
Always use a SD card or SD image from Qube Solutions for your first tests. Our images
are tested extensively and are pre-configured with all required settings. This way you will
achieve the fastest progress.
To transfer one of our images to a
blank SD card, a PC with a SD card
reader is required. We recommend
the open source program
"Win32DiskImager" as software for
writing SD cards. The program runs
under Microsoft Windows and can
be downloaded free of charge from
the following address:
