Installing draws image concerns
|
Hello Douglas & all, I may have missed parts of this discussion which will make what I suggest below seem really stupid…. See BalenaEtcher It is still an Open Source package. Before being acquired by Balena and moving into the big time IoT, ‘Etcher' worked extremely well under both OSs formatting your SDMicro for RPi use and burning whatever OS and App image you want onto it. BalenaEtcher.app, v 1.5.5 installs and acts exactly like 'Etcher’ did with the exception that during it’s install it wants to access more (most only slightly related) web sites. Before I use it I’ll go back and eliminate all of those cookies and associated Little Snitch permission settings to see if it still works the same. You might want to simply not agree to all of the cookies it wants in order to see which, if any, it absolutely needs to load and ask you which device you want to format & burn an image on. Once Etcher finishes the format, burn and verification of the DRAWS Image (& Compass linux), you remove the SD from your attached SD reader/writer and put it in the RPi., reboot the Pi and follow whatever the latest DRAWS instructions are. Cheers, ...dan wl7coo

I don't personally have a windows or mac machine, but my folks do. I used one of their computers to write the original image to the original card i was using. That computer should still have the program that i used to write the pi os image. I was thinking of that before i received the email.
Thank you.

Yes. You can use Etcher to burn the Compass image onto your SD Ram card. You don’t even have to unzip the image. Etcher will handle the entire process. It will take ~ 20 minutes so go get a cup of coffe or your favorite beverage. 73 - Mike - KB0FX
