Flashing SD Image
In some instances, it may be necessary to restore the operating system image for a RTCNC system running on a Raspberry Pi.
The latest image can be downloaded from the RTCNC website.
To flash the SD image you will need the following:
- A micro SD card with a minimum size of 32 GB. All data on the card will be lost when the image is flashed.
- A SD card reader (external or built-in)
- The Raspberry Pi Imager software available on the Raspberry Pi website
Once you have installed the Imager software, launch the application. You should see the main screen.
