I was still having to enter credentials at startup so I set it up for automatic login using the instructions found at

The instructions at the link mentioned above also explain how to have it start automatically. The only speed bump here was that the instructions made it sound as if the port number was to be 1 but is actually 5901. I reserved an IP for the Raspberry Pi for consistency so I could always connect remotely by the same IP. I tried a couple before I found these simple instructions:

I wanted to do this anyway so I wouldn’t need to plug it into a TV (or a mouse and keyboard for that matter). As I needed one USB slot for WiFi, I had to switch between a mouse and keyboard until I managed to get a VNC server installed. I attempted to glue a micro-SD adapter into place as a fix so I could just insert and remove the micro SD card as needed but I was unsuccessful and ended up buying another Raspberry Pi. It is pretty easy to break so be careful. Without the SD card port, the board is useless and looking for a solution I found that many experience this problem. I think 3 was the magic number, but the default and better quality is to just go with HDMI so I recommend an HDMI cable.Īt this point I managed to break the SD card holder on the board while trying to get it into a plastic case I purchased for it. Turns out, you have to hit 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard to switch between video sources as the board is not sending video more than one output at a time. I first tried plugging it into a television using a standard composite video cable but got nothing. It was free and easy, just took a couple of minutes. I did have to download the SD formatter utility mentioned in the article after trying first without formatting the card. You really are just downloading files and copying them to the card. Apparently you can actually by an SD card with NOOB installed, but it is by far the easiest step so if you get stuck here, give up. I really don’t know but a few simple Unix commands so it was a painful process, but here are the steps and links I took to make it happen.įirst I grabbed an 8gb SD card and copied the NOOB Setup files as described at. Getting CGMiner running on Raspberry Pi was a fun challenge.
