+# Installation guide
+
+## Raspberry Pi
+
+After experiencing bluetooth issues using the default debian based Raspberry Pi image, we switched to the Arch Linux ARM image.
+
+[Installation guide](https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi)
+1. Start fdisk to partition the SD card:\
+`fdisk /dev/sdX`
+2. At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
+    - Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
+    - Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
+    - Type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, press ENTER to accept the default first sector, then type     +200M for the last sector.
+    - Type t, then c to set the first partition to type W95 FAT32 (LBA).
+    - Type n, then p for primary, 2 for the second partition on the drive, and then press ENTER twice to accept the default first and last sector.
+    - Write the partition table and exit by typing w.
+3. Create and mount the FAT filesystem:
+```
+mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1
+mkdir boot
+mount /dev/sdX1 boot
+```
+4. Create and mount the ext4 filesystem:
+```
+mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2
+mkdir root
+mount /dev/sdX2 root
+```
+5. Download and extract the root filesystem (as root, not via sudo):
+```
+wget http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz
+bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz -C root
+sync
+```
+6. Move boot files to the first partition:\
+`mv root/boot/* boot`
+7. Unmount the two partitions:
+`umount boot root`
+8. Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi, connect ethernet, and apply 5V power.
+9. Use the serial console or SSH to the IP address given to the board by your router.
+    - Login as the default user alarm with the password alarm.
+    - The default root password is root.
+10. Initialize the pacman keyring and populate the Arch Linux ARM package signing keys:
+```
+pacman-key --init
+pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm
+```
