A brand-name (not generic) Class 4 card of 4GB or more is recommended. To obtain an SD card image, and for instructions on how to flash an SD card from a Linux or Windows PC, please refer to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads\">http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads<\/a>. We recommend that developers use the Raspian \u201cwheezy\u201d image, which includes Python, gcc, and a range of example applications.<\/p>\n<p>Digital audio is available via the HDMI connector. Analogue stereo audio<em>\u00a0<\/em>is available from the 3.5 mm jack.\u00a0To boot the Raspberry Pi, connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard, insert the preloaded SD card and plug in the power. If you have inserted the Ethernet cable, the device will attempt to acquire a DHCP lease at\u00a0start-up\u00a0 You can login with the username and password on the downloads page. For superuser privileges, \u201csudo\u201d does not require a password. Once you are logged in, you can start the X window system using the \u201cstartx\u201d command.<\/p>\n<p>Kernel sources and a cross-compiling\u00a0tool-chain\u00a0for use on an x86 Linux PC are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi\">https:\/\/github.com\/raspberrypi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Example code for OpenGL ES, OpenMAX and other multimedia APIs is available in the directory \/opt\/vc\/src\/hello_pi.<\/p>\n<h1>Forthcoming updates<\/h1>\n<p>New SD card images are released regularly at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads\">http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads<\/a>. Major areas of on-going\u00a0optimization\u00a0include offloading the X window system to the GPU, which will speed it up considerably. None of the browsers for Raspbian \u201cwheezy\u201d support HTML5, and there is currently no Flash support, so unfortunately you cannot watch YouTube videos; we\u2019re investigating HTML5 solutions. (If you\u2019re desperate to watch YouTube, you\u2019ll need to put XBMC, Raspbmc or OpenELEC on an SD card \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/phpBB3\/viewforum.php?f=35\" target=\"_blank\">visit our forums to learn more<\/a>.) There is currently no Java Virtual Machine (JVM) included in the default file system; we will address this in a future release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basic setup The setup described here is the simplest one, using just the USB ports on the board and a television or digital monitor.
