Raspberry Pi up and going

I picked up the new case for my latest toy from the post box Saturday, so decided to put the work into putting it all together.

Using the information on this page :
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

I grabbed the image 2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img and using the super lazy RPi-sd card builder v1.2.app script I was able to write the image to an 8 GB SD card that I had spare.

The card is only a Type 2, so probably a bit slow, but it was enough to get things up and going.

The script actually failed with an error, unable to eject SD card, but it still created the needed partitions on the card and using it I was able to boot the raspberry pi.


The wireless Microsoft 7000 keyboard and mouse that I have worked with no issues, as did the HDMI connection into one of my monitors.

Not sure what to do with it now, but something using the USB interface board that I made earlier seems like a good place to start.
