5. Instrucións de funcionamento
5.1. First Boot and Initial Configuration
On the first boot, the Raspberry Pi OS will guide you through an initial setup wizard. This includes setting your country, language, timezone, creating a user password, connecting to Wi-Fi, and updating the software. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete these steps.
5.2. Desktop Environment
Once configured, you will be presented with the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment. This is similar to other desktop operating systems, allowing you to launch applications, browse the web, xestionar files, e máis.
5.3. Apagar
To safely shut down your Raspberry Pi, click the Raspberry Pi icon in the top-left corner of the screen, then select Apagado. Always shut down the system properly before disconnecting power to prevent data corruption on the microSD card.
6. Mantemento
- Actualizacións de software: Regularly update your operating system and installed software to ensure optimal performance and security. This can typically be done via the terminal using commands like
sudo apt updateesudo apt full-upgrade. - Refrixeración: The Raspberry Pi 4 can generate heat under heavy load. Consider using a heatsink or a fan case to ensure proper cooling and prevent thermal throttling, especially for demanding applications.
- Fonte de alimentación: Use a high-quality 5V/3A USB-C power supply to ensure stable operation. Insufficient power can lead to instability.
- Coidado da tarxeta MicroSD: Avoid frequently writing large amounts of data to the microSD card to prolong its lifespan. Consider using a USB SSD for heavy data operations.
7 Solución de problemas
- Sen saída de visualización: Ensure micro-HDMI cables are securely connected and your monitor is set to the correct input. Try a different micro-HDMI port or cable.
- LED de alimentación intermitente: This often indicates an insufficient power supply. Ensure you are using a 5V/3A USB-C power supply.
- Problemas co Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Check your network settings in the Raspberry Pi OS. Ensure the device is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
- Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema: This could be due to overheating (ensure proper cooling), a corrupted microSD card (try re-flashing the OS), or an inadequate power supply.
- Cuestións xerais: The Raspberry Pi community forums and documentation are excellent resources for troubleshooting specific problems.
