SDCard Image Update

Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:45 am

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to write a complete new image for the raspberry over ethernet to the SDCard?
Is this possible at all?
Kind Regards,
Andre

The answer to the question below won't bring me any nearer to being able to answer your question but it might help someone else to assist you.

The new image to be pulled by the RPi in question or pushed to it?

The SD Card has two partitions the FAT Partition is the "boot", whilst the second partition is the O/S, I presume you wish to overwrite the O/S Partition ?

There was a post this year but can not find it with a similar queery....

This may give you a starting point ? https://github.com/debian-pi/raspbian-ua-netinst

IIRC, NOOBS lite (in recovery mode) will "pull in" a new image to overwrite an existing one. (NOOBS full probably can do so too, but, takes up more card space because of the original O.S. images included with it).

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
