The RaspDAC / RaspTOUCH / RaspDAC Mini products include features that require modifications to standard open source reading distributions. To make installation easier and more accessible to as many people as possible, we regularly provide images dedicated to these products, allowing you to enjoy all the features without typing command lines (SSH).

You will find below a list of images available for the different products we sell. However, we cannot offer all distributions for all available products and configurations. It is also possible that these images may not always be the latest version of the software, but they have the advantage of being immediately functional.

If have any hesitation about which distribution is the best for you, we suggest you read this article which details the features found in each system.

Following images are made for I-Sabre DAC ES9028/38, if you are using ES9023 or compatible you have to change DAC driver for RPI-DAC standard one.

Win32 Disk Imager download

Win32 Disk Imager is a software that allows you to write on an SD card a pre-established image like the ones we provide or the ones you can download from the websites of the different distributions.

Once downloaded and installed, launch this application. You arrive on a window of this type:

1. Point to the drive letter corresponding to the Micro SD card you want to use.
2. Click on the folder to search for the image in the directory in which you unzipped it (.img file).
3. After checking that the letter matches the Micro SD, all you have to do is click on the Write button.

The "Write Successfull" message is displayed when the operation is completed. The card is now ready to be inserted into your network drive.

On Windows, your computer will try to mount (read) the SD card you just wrote. This operation will fail since your SD card now has Linux-type partitions. Because of this, Windows will suggest you format the SD card. Refuse any offer to format your newly written card but do not worry : this behaviour is perfectly normal.

RaspDAC Mini LCD Images

Please note, the images presented in the section below concern the  RaspDac Mini LCD version (from March 2021).

They are not suitable for the RaspDac Mini with an OLED screen (monochrome).
