Atomic Pi Development Builds
Here you will find development builds of OSs for the Atomic Pi single board computer. These OSs may or may not boot and are in various states of working condition, these are not final builds and DO have issues that I may fix in the future. You are free to modify any of these images to be in working condition.

InstallationPrerequisites Your 4GB USB drive will be formatted! Backup any data on it before proceeding. Download the OS System Image you want, Lubuntu LiveISO, and Rufus Utility to your PC from Downloads section on the left Step 1 Extract the IMG file from your downloaded OS System Image and copy this to USB 2 Step 2 Open Rufus Utility Step 3 In the "Device" box, select USB 1. Step 4 Click the "Select" button and select the lubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso file you downloaded. (Lubuntu LiveISO) Step 5 Select option "GPT" in the "Partition type" selection box. Step 6 Click "Start" button at the bottom of the window. Select "Yes" and/or "Ok" for any other messages you get. Once the green progress bar at the bottom says "READY", unplug USB 1 and USB 2 from your PC and insert them into your Atomic Pi along with a keyboard and mouse. (A USB hub may be required) Step 7Turn on your Atomic Pi by plugging it into power, then immediately press the F7 key until you see a blue and white list, this may require multiple tries. Step 8 Select USB 1 and press enter. Step 9 The Atomic Pi should now boot to a screen with multiple options listed, select "Try Lubuntu without Installing". Step 10 After boot completes, open a terminal from the menu and enter "lsblk" (without quotes) then press enter. You should get a result with an option /dev/mmcblk0 with a capacity of around 14gb. If you do not get that result, seek support from the Atomic Pi Discord. Step 11 Open a file manager from the menu and click on your USB storage device, then close the file manager. Step 12 Return to the terminal and run command "sudo dd if={location of image file} of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=50M status=progress" where {location of image file} is the path to your system image file on USB 2. The path to USB 2 will start with "/media/lubuntu/" Step 13 Once flashing is finished, unplug your Atomic Pi and remove USB 1 and USB 2. Step 14 Done! Plug in your Atomic Pi, it will start the newly installed operating system. |
