Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Images
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These are preliminary, but they do work, and are full-featured (as far as I know!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 4. If you are interested in testing on your Raspberry Pi 3, please tell us about it in our chat channel: https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/channels/altarch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2. They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64).

QUICK START:
|
||||||
|
####################################################
|
||||||
|
Download the latest image, and write it to your raw microSD memory card (or other boot device).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On Linux systems, simply do something like this: xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX
|
||||||
|
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BE CAREFUL, be sure which device you are writing to before you do it! Don't accidentally blow away your laptop/desktop hard drive!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once your storage device is written to, you should be able to plug it in to a Raspberry Pi and boot!
