I previously wrote about my Debian stretch preview image for the Raspberry Pi 3.
Now, I’m publishing an updated version, containing the following changes:
A couple of issues remain, notably the lack of WiFi and bluetooth support (see wiki:RaspberryPi3 for details. Any help with fixing these issues is very welcome!
As a preview version (i.e. unofficial, unsupported, etc.)
until all the necessary bits and pieces are in place to build images in a
proper place in Debian, I built and uploaded the resulting image. Find it at https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/raspberrypi3/2017-10-08/.
To install the image, insert the SD card into your computer (I’m assuming it’s
available as /dev/sdb
) and copy the image onto it:
$ wget https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/raspberrypi3/2017-10-08/2017-10-08-raspberry-pi-3-buster-PREVIEW.img.bz2 $ bunzip2 2017-10-08-raspberry-pi-3-buster-PREVIEW.img.bz2 $ sudo dd if=2017-10-08-raspberry-pi-3-buster-PREVIEW.img of=/dev/sdb bs=5M
If resolving client-supplied DHCP hostnames works in your network, you should be able to log into the Raspberry Pi 3 using SSH after booting it:
$ ssh root@rpi3 # Password is “raspberry”
