# Raspberry Pi # Installation # Raspberry Pi Installation ## USB to Ethernet Adapter [https://elinux.org/RPi\_USB\_Ethernet\_adapters](https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Ethernet_adapters) - Not the Amazon one - TP-Link UE300 parfait ([https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/usb-ethernet-adapter/ue300/v4/](https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/usb-ethernet-adapter/ue300/v4/)) ## Cases For RPi 1 B : [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4384009](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4384009) ## Operating System - Install the official installer tool `Raspberry Pi Imager` Depending on the OS, find the adapted software. [https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) - For a USB boot, follow these steps : - Format a SD card as FAT 32 (can be a small 256Mb partition) - Copy the latest `bootcode.bin` on the partition [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/boot/bootcode.bin](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/boot/bootcode.bin) - If the RPi doesn't boot on the USB SSD disk after unplugging a USB keyboard, add a delay to the boot initialisation by creating a file named `timeout` on the same partition as *bootcode.bin*. => Required with Kingston A400S and Startech SATA to USB. - Run the installer tool and configure the future OS - Depending on RPI model, choose an adequate OS
