Power up and using keyboard and screen

Power up and using keyboard and screen
	Chapter 3. Raspberry PI OS Installation

When not selecting the right OS customizations then some important final settings are required and the access via network can not be established.

Therefore attach a monitor, keyboard and mouse, plug in the SDcard, then power up.

The first HDMI is close to the USB-C connector. However both work well so use the second connector if there is a mechanical conflict with a HDMI adapter.

If it boots up into a black screen, then it might be an issue with Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) of the monitor and video driver.

If so, add the video mode to /boot/cmdline.txt

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 \
root=PARTUUID=37c8e4ff-02 rootfstype=ext4 fsck.repair=yes \
video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60D rootwait

/boot/config.txt uncomment hdmi_safe=1 if no booting text appears.

In the past the user name was pi and the password Raspberry (or if keyboard layout not matches the default US keyboard layout Raspberrz might work).

Since this is obvious a security issue the newer Raspberry PI OS asks for a user name and password.

Important

Consider to give a temporary password as 123456789. The reason for that is that the keyboard layout probably does not match to your hardware (except when having a US keyboard). Once the keyboard layout is ok, replace the password with strong one.

It is now necessary to create a user and a password having attached a keyboard and a screen (ssh will not work, even there is the "temporary" pi user on the SD-card)

Having attached the screen and the keyboard, the ip address can be easily seen using sudo ifconfig
