I am exploring the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi for a few specific projects. I have been extremely pleased with the performance of the device and am continuing to explore additional applications. I have created pages with notes on my implementations. As a practice, I have built several progressive images to be placed on a microSD card. This allows me to pick up and start a new project from a known image without taking the time to rebuild everything that got me there.
I use Win32DiskImager to read and write image files to and from my microSD card. This software is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/. I intend to run my Raspberry Pi with a 32gb card inserted, but while developing / testing I am using an 8gb card for image creation. This will allow me to burn the 8gb image to a micor SD card that is larger.
One hard lesson I have learned while using Win32DiskImager: If you create an image from an 8gb card (I used a SanDisk) and the images I created were 7,761,920 KB, A different brand 8gb card may be smaller than the 7,761,920 KB image and Win32DiskImager will not allow it to be written.
If you are interested in obtaining any of the images I have created for your RPi project, please send me an email. Due to the size (each image is 8gb) I am not posting all of them in the cloud, but will be happy to share them one at a time.
