re: burning rpi images with rpo-imager :
The instructions found at
https://linuxcnc.org/downloads/
are misleading.
The statement
"These .xz files are directly readable by the Raspberry Pi imager
application"
will lead users to:
1) download the rpi4 or 6 image as linked
( that works fine)
2) run rpi-imager
that's wrong.
rpi-imager never asks where your downloaded file is.
The rpi-imager GUI
downloads and burns and verifies a standard
non-rt, non-linuxcnc image.
Yes, the files are compatible with the app,
but not the GUI, only the CLI.
Solution:
A) Download one of the 2 linked images
B) cd to the directory where you saved the download
C) open a terminal
D) find the identity of the device (sd card, thumb drive, etc)
you will burn the image to
( i use tail dmesg, insert thumb,
check dmesg, remove thumb,
check dmesg, insert thumb,
check dmesg)
E) Now use the cli mopde of rpi-imager
<code>
rpi-imager /path/to/image /dev/sd?
</code>
Replace filename and drive letter as needed.
Then rpi-manager will give progress bar
as it proceeds to write, and another text
progress bar as it verifies.
It report success or fail at end.
Dont be a DontBee!,
I ran the gui 2x before figuring
out what went wrong.
