Reading an image from the SD Card
BEWARE: DO THIS WRONG AND YOU CAN LOSE YOUR HARDDISK!!!
Obviously, you can NOT use 'dd-removable' to read an image as that executable refuses to
write to your hard disk (so extra care is required here as you use 'windd').
To read an SD-card image from the SD-card use:
windd bs=1M if=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 of=THE_IMAGE_READ –size
Your disk name ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Copying an image to the SD Card
BEWARE: DO THIS WRONG AND YOU CAN LOSE YOUR HARDDISK!!!
To copy an image named "THEIMAGE" to the SD-card do this:
dd-removable bs=1M if=THEIMAGE of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0
Your disk name ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Software Development/Proving
A supported platform for the Raspberry is Qt , which is already being worked on. C/C++ is
supported through a gcc cross-compiling tool chain.
After compiling, using QEMU and a Linux VM would be one way of testing your apps. This
also works on Windows. Search the forum for the readymade ARM images. The choice of
programming languages, IDEs and other tools ON the R-Pi is only determined by:
The operating system compatibility ( at the moment the specific Linux distro used)
The status of the respective ARM package repositories and their binary compatibility
The possibility to build other software + its dependencies for the R-Pi from sources.
For more guides and projects involving the Raspberry Pi, see RPi Projects
(http://elinux.org/RPi_Projects).
