Summary

In this chapter we learned about the basics of the Raspberry Pi 2's hardware. We discovered how to setup a microSD card and install the Raspbian operating system on it.

Following this, we created RSA keys to access our RPI over SSH and installed a number of useful tools via a package manager and experimented with some diagnostic tests.

With our Raspberry Pi 2 setup and ready to go we can now move onto writing applications that work on the device.
