Open Source Windows Disk Cloning Software

Raspberry Pi Imager is an official utility designed to simplify the process of creating bootable storage media for Raspberry Pi devices. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface that allows users to select an operating system, download it if necessary, and write it directly to an SD card or USB drive. The tool supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible to a broad range of users from beginners to advanced developers. It also includes customization options such as preconfiguring Wi-Fi credentials, hostnames, and SSH access before first boot. Advanced users can point the application to custom image repositories, enabling automated provisioning workflows and specialized deployments. Overall, Raspberry Pi Imager streamlines device setup and reduces friction when preparing new Raspberry Pi systems for development, education, or production use.

This repo builds the SD card image with HypriotOS for the Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3, 4 and Zero. You can find released versions of the SD card image here in the GitHub releases page. To build this SD card image we have to take the files for the root filesystem from os-rootfs.

Command line script to flash SD card images of any kind. Note that for some devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi), at the end of the flashing process the tool tries to customize the SD card e.g. it configures a hostname or WiFi. And with a cloud-init enabled image you can do much more like adding users, SSH keys etc.
