Information for getting Peach Pi TV operational on your Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B Disclaimer: This Peach Pi TV package is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Note: YOU WILL NEED A COMPUTER RUNNING A LINUX SYSTEM LIKE ONE OF OUR PEACH OSI OS's WITH GPARTED INSTALLED AND A WAY TO READ YOUR SD CARD IN ORDER TO FULLY EXPAND YOUR micro SD CARD TO THE FULL AVAILABLE SPACE ON YOUR SD CARD. The Peach Pi TV system files have been intentionally kept to a bare minimum so that streaming video on your Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B can be as efficient as possible. This means that there is no desktop system installed in Peach Pi TV and neither is there any applications to expand the partition to whatever he maximum size available on your particular SD card. Peach Pi Tv will function without expanding the partition just fine but your storage capibility will not be the total amount available on your SD card. You can remedy this situation by loading your SD card into a computer with just about any Linux flavor and with Gparted installed and then follow the instructions given below in section number 2 of Normal Operation of your Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B using Peach Pi TV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The File you downloaded is a zip file and we zipped it with 7Zip. Most any zipping program should work to unzip the files. You can download a free copy of 7Zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org/ In the event that you do not have an internet connection the above 7Zip installation program for Windows is in the folder that you unzipped. Use the Hash Check System Included in the zip file is a text file named Hash Check. It is a good practice to always check the original Hash Check against the results that you get from a Hash Check. In Linux you can check the Hash with an application called GTKHash. In Windows you can download a free Hash Check program at: http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3001-2092_4-10911445.html? In the event that you do not have an internet connection the above Hash Check installation program for Windows is in the folder that you unzipped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggested Usage and Warning: Peach Pi TV was built on a Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B Quad-Core 1.2 GHz 1 GB RAM with On-board WiFi and with Bluetooth Connectivity. As of the writing of this help file, Peach OSI has not tested Peach Pi TV on anything other than the previously stated device the Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B Quad-Core 1.2 GHz 1 GB RAM. Peach Pi TV should run on a Raspberry Pi 2 (RPi2)900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with 1GB RAM but those devices may experience issues with the config.txt file because the config.txt file has been modified to overclock the Raspberry Pi 3. Users of the Raspberry Pi 2 - if attempting to run Peach Pi TV - should immediately go to the /boot/ folder and delete the config.txt file and replace it with the copy of the default config.txt file that is already stored in the /boot/ directory. Otherwise the existing config.txt file will be running your Raspberry Pi device overclocked with several overclocked settings. If you decide to run Peach Pi TV on any device - especially versions of Raspberry Pi that are not the Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B - then you do so at your own risk. Please read through the entire help file before you attempt to install Peach Pi TV on any micro SD card an before running Peach Pi TV on any Raspberry Pi device. Again, by installing Peach Pi TV on any device you agree that you understand that peach OSI has no responsibility for any damages that may result from that or any subsequent installation(s). You also agree that you are doing so AT YOUR OWN RISK. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Importance of using the right micro SD card. Of the foremost importance in using Peach Pi TV on your Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B is the size, quality and speed of the SD card that you installed Peach Pi TV on to. We recommend Kingston, Sandisk or Patriot micro SD cards and we also recommend a 32GB SD card in either of those three flavors. Peach Pi TV will run on a 16GB SD card but we have found that the OS is more responsive with a 32GB SD card. We also suggest that you use an SD card with a speed rating of Class 10. Peach Pi TV will run on an 8GB SD card with a rating of 4 but the system will lag seriously without available storage and with such a slow speed class rating. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burning Peach Pi TV to a micro SD Card -----------------------------------------------------------
