  • HDMI cable and display/screen

  • Keyboard (optional, for setup or troubleshooting)

  • Internet connection (LAN or WLAN)

  • PC or laptop with SD card reader

  • Installed Raspberry Pi Imager tool (available for free at raspberrypi.com/software)

2. Download the FRAMR. Image

  1. Go to the FRAMR. Support website and download the latest Raspberry Pi image for FRAMR.

  2. Save the image file (.xz) on your computer in an easily accessible location (e.g., Downloads folder).

3. Insert and Mount the microSD Card
  1. Insert the microSD card into an SD card reader connected to your computer.
  2. Ensure the card is detected and mounted.

Note: All data on the card will be erased – make a backup if necessary.

4. Start Raspberry Pi Imager

    1. Open the Raspberry Pi Imager program.
    2. Select DeviceRaspberry Pi 4.
    3. Select OSUse custom and choose the FRAMR image you downloaded earlier.
    4. Select Storage → your microSD card.
    5. Click Write to begin the flashing process.

    6. Wait until the process is complete, then safely remove the microSD card from your computer.

5. Insert the microSD Card and Connect the Raspberry Pi

  1. Insert the prepared microSD card into the Raspberry Pi 4.

  2. Connect the following cables:

    • Network (LAN cable or prepare WLAN if supported)

    • HDMI to the display

    • Power supply (USB-C)

  3. The Raspberry Pi will start automatically and boot directly into the FRAMR Setup View.

6. Register the FRAMR Player

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to register the player in your FRAMR Cockpit as usual.

  • After successful registration, the Raspberry Pi 4 is ready to use as a FRAMR Player and will automatically load your assigned content.

Note

  • For future updates, you can update the player directly via the FRAMR Cockpit or the provided update system – reflashing the microSD card is not required.

  • For optimal performance, it is recommended to use only high-quality microSD cards (industrial-grade or branded).
