Install notes

Flash Raspberry Pi 2 and boot

Follow the workflow below; the official board page contains any extra quirks for the Broadcom BCM2836 platform.

Grab the image. Download the latest Raspberry Pi 2 build from the downloads page or the official board entry.
Flash to storage. Use balenaEtcher, Raspberry Pi Imager, or `dd` to write the image to an SD card or SSD. Make sure to verify the checksum before booting.
First boot setup. Insert the media into your Raspberry Pi 2, power on, and let REG Linux expand the filesystem. Pair controllers inside REG-Station once prompted.
Troubleshoot with rescue tools. REG Linux ships with an immutable base and rescue partition—if something breaks, reboot into rescue or reflash without touching your ROMs.
