RaspberryPi OS

Last update 2023

 Previously called Raspbian is the Foundation’s official supported operating system. You can install it with NOOBS or download the image below and follow our installation guide.

Raspberry Pi OS comes pre-installed with plenty of software for education, programming and general use. It has Python, Scratch, Sonic Pi, Java and more.

The Raspberry Pi OS with Desktop image contained in the ZIP archive is over 4GB in size, which means that these archives use features which are not supported by older unzip tools on some platforms. If you find that the download appears to be corrupt or the file is not unzipping correctly, please try using 7Zip (Windows) or The Unarchiver (Macintosh). Both are free of charge and have been tested to unzip the image correctly.

pi64

Last update 2017

pi64 is an experimental 64-bit OS for the Raspberry Pi 3. It is based on Debian Stretch and backed by a 4.11 Linux kernel.

The default user is pi and its password raspberry, it has passwordless root privileges escalation through sudo.

Once logged in, you might want to run sudo pi64-config in order to get assisted with your setup!

On the lite version, SSH is enabled by default.

How do I update the Linux Kernel?

You can upgrade the Linux Kernel using this command :

sudo pi64-update

This would make sure the latest release from https://github.com/bamarni/pi64-kernel is installed.

Do not use apt-get to install or update a kernel, kernel modules or kernel headers as this is not supported.

Can I still run 32-bit programs with pi64?

You should be able to run 32-bit programs out of the box as long as they're statically linked. You can check this with the file command :

$ file ./my-executable

./my-executable: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

If your 32-bit program is shown as dynamically linked instead, you should still be able to run it by enabling multiarch and installing program's required libraries :

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libc6:armhf

Here we're only installing the GNU C Library, but your program might need additional libraries.

The flight OS

Last update 2022

The European Astro Pi Challenge is an ESA Education project run in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Astro Pi Mission Space Lab offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers — the Astro Pis — aboard the International Space Station.

This guide covers Phase 2 for both Mission Space Lab themes: Life on Earth and Life in space. We want your experiment to run reliably on the ISS, and this guide will help you get started quickly and give you the best chance of running your program without problems.

The guide includes information on assembling your kit, writing the code for your experiment, and testing your program. It also includes essential details about what is and isn’t possible with the Astro Pi hardware and software.
