1. Try out 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

2. 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

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
- caveat, the Doom3 data files are not present on the image as they must be bought from Steam
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!
