Notes on the Raspberry Pi

Summary

While working on the RPICSIO and RBerrySharp projects I gathered a variety of information on various useful Raspberry Pi concepts and implementation details. These techniques which, although interesting, were really not suitable for inclusion in either project. However, since I had to figure them out, I thought I might as well write them down in the form of web pages or technical notes in order to collect the information together and save someone else the trouble of doing all the digging around.

Hence this page - it provides links to a variety of various Raspberry Pi topics and will hopefully make such information more readily findable via Internet searches.

Raspberry Pi Notes

Setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W in Headless Mode

This note was written in order to consolidate the tricky little details about how to set up the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W in Headless Mode. This is the information which I would have liked to have known about when I first tried to get headless operation going. It's not that the information isn't out there - it is - it's just that it is not all consolidated into one place.

How to Set up a Static IP Address On a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

After configuration the PRaspberry PI Zero 2 W automatically gets assigned an IP address. This note documents how to configure a static (unchanging) IP address on the Raspberry PI Zero 2 W. Although the discussion is specific to the Raspberry PI Zero 2 W the contents are pretty much applicable to any Raspberry Pi.

Mounting a Bootable Raspberry Pi SD Card on a Windows PC

After you have configured a bootable SD Card and placed an operating system on it using the free Raspberry Pi Imager software, you may wish to mount it on a Windows PC. Typically this is done in order to edit some of the config files on the SDCard prior to actually booting the Raspberry Pi with it installed. Mounting the SD Card is not as simple as it seems. This note documents the procedure.
