How to create a Raspberry Pi image in VM Ware and then deploy that to an SD card and onto a Raspberry Pi.

Basic Steps

  1. Download the Raspberry Pi OS ISO. An ISO is what is commonly used to create a CD.
    1. ISO Download can be found here https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/
  2. Create a new Virtual Machine.
    1. File -> New
    2. Drag the ISO onto the "Select the installation method" dialog and click "Continue"
    3. On the Choose Operating Systems screen, choose "Linux" and "Debian 10.x".
      1. The option to customize the HD Space was not accessible.
    4. When prompted to install GRUB Boot Loader answer "No".
      1. The Raspberry Pi uses a different bootloading mechanism that is not compatible with GRUB1. Instead, the Raspberry Pi’s bootloader works with a file called start.elf, which is part of its own boot process
