1. Lecture: 1-3
- Prerequisites for this lecture are:
1-1 and .
2. Installing the USW Raspberry Pi-4 image
- the
USW Raspberry Pi-4 image
is a 32bit arm7 for the Raspberry Pi-4 (either 8GB or 4GB
variety).
- the image is just over 6GB and needs to be
etched or dd’d to a micro USB card
- the image contains a self inflating
filesystem which will expand when the machine first boots
and it will utilise the whole micro USB card
- it has
been tested successfully with a 32GB card
3. Placing the contents of the image onto the micro USB card
- if you are on a Windows or OSX or
Raspberry-Pi machine you should install
etcher and use
this tool to prepare the card
- you need to run the
etcher program, locate the
.img file and write the image file
to the micro USB card
- notice that the USW Raspberry
Pi-4 image is not zipped
- the user account is:
student and the password is
a
- the
student user account can
sudo to root
and the password for root/sudo is
a
- you might
want to change this (see the command line program
passwd )
- when your
Raspberry Pi-4 boots for the first time you need to be
patient as the self expansion can take 3-4 minutes, during
this time the screen is pretty near blank.
- thankfully this only occurs once and
thereafter it boots in seconds
4. About this USW Raspberry Pi-4 image
- it is based on the Raspbian 32bit
Buster distribution
- as far as known it has all the
tools necessary to complete the courseworks for Game Engine
Design, Game Tool Development and Operating Systems
- caveat, there maybe additional
packages, necessary, but these should be a single command
line instruction away
- it comes with
gcc , g++ ,
gdb , vi ,
emacs ,
python3 ,
python2 ,
pge , chisel
, gm2 ,
openconnect (a vpn client) and
thousands of other packages
-
C++-17 is also installed as an
extra, the gcc-10 is also installed
which contains detailed semantic analysis of your C
programs!
