Add Content to Wiki "CentOS 7.2.1511 Minimal on the Raspberry PI 3" #7

Open seans11 opened 5 years ago

I would like to suggest adding the following content to your Wiki on Minimal Centos 7x on RPi 3x. Your guide would be a great place to host this information. There is a lot of conflicting information about this procedure out there so I would like to add some clarity. Thanks.

Using a serial console cable on Raspberry Pi 3 B for initial setup/configuration: 1) After loading the Centos image to the SDXC card, edit "config.txt". You may need to create this file if it does not exit. (/boot/config.txt) or Mount FAT32 partition to drive letter for access to config.txt 2) Add or edit the following entry to enable UART/serial functionality: enable_uart=1 3) Connect Ground, TX, RX (typically black, white, green) https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable/connect-the-lead 4) Connect USB to PC and ensure your Prolific USB-to-Serial driver is installed. Reboot may be necessary if installing for the first time. 5) Locate the active COM port with Device manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) 6) Use PuTTy on Serial setting and set your COM port and rate to 115200. 7) Boot your Pi and you should receive console output

Sean,

Done! Very nice and thank you!

I have not added it to rharmonson.github.io but debating if I will be continuing that site. It's pretty, very pretty, but its more work to publish and most of the traffic seems to be at github.com/rharmonson.

If you would like to contribute to existing or new content, let me know.

Richard
