Raspberry Pi Setup

Skate Results displays only require a browser to run, so you don't need a full computer. Instead, you can use a mini-computer like the Raspberry Pi.

Hardware

The following hardware is recommended:

  • Raspberry Pi 4, 1GB
  • USB C power supply
  • Raspberry Pi 4 Case
  • HDMI Type A > Micro HDMI Type D
  • Micro SD card + SD-Adapter
  • HDMI Cable
  • Full HD Display

Flashing the SD card

  1. Install Etcher
  2. Download FullPageOS from the download server. The latest stable version is quite outdated and might not work - please use the latest nightly build instead.
  3. Copy FullPageOS on the SD card using Etcher
