From this on the Raspberry Pi Zero will be called CD-berry
- Connect the CD-berry to your computer
- When is has booted, the status led will start blinking with short pulses
- A new USB drive will appear (labeled CD-berry). It should contain a mount report. If that contains errors, may be the ntfs partition has to be reformatted. Read the manual
- Copy an
.iso
file to root of this drive - Rename it to
cdrom.iso
(lower case) - Now eject the USB mass storage drive. In Windows, right click the drive and choose 'Eject'
- After a little while, the status led will start blinking with long pulses
- The CD-ROM should now appear
- Ejecting the CD-ROM will revert the CD-berry to USB mass storage mode
Because it is an OS after all it should be shut downed properly
- Press the button for about 3 seconds. At first the status led blinks half a second on, half a second off. Keep the button pressed until it starts blinking fast
- If the CD-berry is currently in CD-ROM mode, it will shutdown immediately. Just wait for the power led to turn off
- If the CD-berry is in USB mass storage mode, Eject the drive, within 12 seconds. The CD-berry will shutdown. Watch the power led
When the CD-berry is powered up and a cdrom.iso exists, it will start in CD-ROM emulation mode. This makes is possible to boot from the device, depending whether a bootable .iso was copied to the CD-berry.
Sometimes the computer is too fast to discover the CD-berry CD-ROM at boot time, because the CD-berry is still booting. In that case, reboot the computer a few times in succession, or pause the boot sequence if possible. Most computers will leave the USB ports powered, so after some the CD-berry has started and then can be discovered.
