====== piCore Prepare SD-Card ======

There are two ways to get the image on the sd-card.\\
If you start from a Windows pc you can use the 'Raspberry Pi Imager' to get the image on the sd-card.


=== Raspberry Pi Imager ===

  * Obtain the image you want to use from the download page.\\ First verify the latest stable version available (best is not to use a test version).\\ Next look if you go for a 32-bit (RPi1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) or 64-bit (RPi3, 4, 5).
    * For the 32-bit version the (current latest) link is: http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/armhf/releases/RPi/
    * For the 64-bit version the (current latest) link is: http://tinycorelinux.net/15.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/

  * Use an sd-formatter to clear the sd-card if needed.

  * Use the official 'Raspberry Pi Imager' to write the .img file to sd-card.
    * obtain the latest 'Raspberry Pi Imager' [[https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/imager/imager_latest.exe| from here.]]

  * Bootup the RPi with HDMI and keyboard attached

  * After key generation: backup
    * ('backup' is a script file that is executing 'filetool.sh -b')
