The kernel build steps described below in the 'Build the Raspberry Pi kernel package' When building the kernel directly on the Raspberry Pi, skip to the nextįor up-to-date instructions. Installing build tools for the Pi onto a Linux build host On a workstation is normally far faster than on the Raspberry Pi. Running on a development workstation), or alternatively on the Raspberry Pi itself.

If installing the Ubuntu version, first check that the system is running the Install the imager package available from Insert the target micro SD card into the host machine's micro SD card reader slot. You have two options for setting up the Micro SD:īefore beginning an install, prepare a micro SD card (WARNING: its contents will be overwritten) with a minimum capacity of 8 GB. We will also need to connect power and ground to the board:

(J2 Pin) -> (Proper name) -> (RPi connector pin).

Attach (female-to-female) jumper wires between the following breakout board pins and the RaspberryPi board: You can find more information on the GPIO and the pinout of the RaspberryPi here. Hardware Attaching the breakout board to the RPi

Details on the board can be found here.

For a higher resolution and telemetry data, it is recommended that you use a Lepton 3.5.
