Use method
Step 1: Get what you need
First time to enjoy your Banana Pi, you need at least the accessories in the table
below.
No. Item Minimu recommended specification & notes
1 SD card
 Minimum size 4Gb; class 4 (the class indicates how fast
the card is).
 We recommend using branded SD cards as they are
more reliable.
2a
HDMI(Full sized)
to HDMI / DVI
lead
 HDMI to HDMI lead (for HD TVs and monitors with
HDMI input).
OR
HDMI to DVI lead (for monitors with DVI input).
2b AV video lead
 A standard AV video lead to connect to your analogue
display if you are not using the HDMI output.
3
Keyboard and
mouse
 Any standard USB keyboard and mouse should work.
 Keyboards or mice that take a lot of power from the
USB ports, however, may need a powered USB hub.
This may include some wireless devices.
4
Ethernet
cable/USB
WiFi(Optional)
 Networking is optional, although it makes updating and
getting new software for your Banana Pi much easier.
5
Micro USB power
adapter
 A good quality, micro USB power supply that can
provide at least 700mA at 5Vis essential.
 Many mobile phone chargers are suitable—check the
label on the plug.
6
Audio lead
(Optional)
 You can choose a 3.5mm jack audio led to connect to
audio port to get stereo audio.
7
Mobile Hard disk
(Optional)
 You can choose to connect a mobile hard disk to SATA
port to store more files.

Step 2: Download the relevant Image file:
Please visit our webmaster: www.banana-pi.com to download image, banana pi all
image can be download form this web.
Step3: Prepare your SD card for the Banana Pi
In order to enjoy your Banana Pi, you will need to install an Operating System (OS)
onto an SD card. Instructions below will teach you how to write an OS image to your
SD card under Windows and Linux.
1. Insert your SD card into your computer. The size of SD should be larger than
the OS image size, generally 4GB or greater.
2. Format the SD card.
Windows:
i. Download the a SD card format tool such as SD Formatter from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
ii. Unzip the download file and run the setup.exe to install the tool on
your machine.
iii. In the "Options" menu, set "FORMAT TYPE" option to QUICK,
"FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON".

iv. Check that the SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the
Tool.
v. Click the “Format” button.
Linux:
vi. Run fdisk –l command to check the SD card node.
vii. Run sudo fdisk /dev/sdx command to delete all partition of SD card.
viii. Run mkfs –t vfat /dev/sdx command to format the entire SD card as
FAT.
(x should be replaced according to your SD card node)
3. Download the OS image from Download district.
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image.
Windows: Right click on the file and choose “Extract all”.
Linux: Run unzip [downloaded filename] command.

5. Write the image file to the SD card.
Windows:
i. Download a tool that can wirte image to SD card, such as Win32
Diskimager from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/Archive/
ii. Open the unzipped image file.
iii. Click Write button. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing.
Linux:
iv. Run fdisk –l command to check the SD card node.
v. Run dd if=[imagename] of=/dev/sdx command to write image file to
SD card. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing.
Step4: Set up your Banana Pi
According to the set up diagram below, you can easily set up your Banana Pi.
1. Insert the written-image SD card that to the SD card spot on the left side edge
of the underside of the board.
2. On the bottom "edge" in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A (Full
sized) port, just on the right of the SATA port. Just connect any HDMI cable
from the board to your TV or HDMI Monitor.
If you don't have an TV/Monitor with a HDMI or DVI-D port you can use the

yellow AV jack located in the middle of the "top" edge and the 3.5 mm stereo
headphone jack to the right of it.
3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the right edge.
4. Just under the USB ports on the right edge is the ethernet connector for anyone
who wants to plug the Banana Pi into a wired network.
5. Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the micro-usb power
connector. Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ±5% and at
least 700mA (or 0.7A). Any number bigger than 700 mA (like 1000mA) will
also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for small GSM phones, as
these are often unregulated, even if they claim "5V 1A", they may do "5V"
and may do "1A", but not at the same time!
The mini-USB (on the left) is the wrong one. It’s thicker and looks like a
trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The micro-USB (on the right) is the
correct one. It is thinner and also looks like a trapezoid except it’s sides are
rounded outward.

If all goes well, the Banana Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display the
OS GUI.
Step5: Shut down your Banana Pi
You can use the GUI to shut down the Banana Pi safely.
Also you can run the command in the terminal:
sudo halt
or
sudo shutdown –h.
This will shut down the PI safely, (just use the power key to turn off might
damage the SD-cards file system). After that you can press the power key for 5
seconds to turn it off.

If all is well ,so you can use banana pi now.
