Documentation center
Choose from Quick start, Developer documentation, and User documentation according to your goal.
Quick start
For first-time setup or reinstalling the system: prepare a system image, flash it over USB or onto a TF card, and start the device.
- Download the system image — get the T-Display-CM0 image used in this tutorial for both USB and TF card flashing.
- Flash over USB — connect the device to a computer with a USB data cable and write the image.
- Flash a TF card — write the image with a card reader, then insert the card into the device and boot.
Once connected, follow the shared Raspberry Pi Imager walkthrough to choose an image, write it, and complete verification.
