This story is my memo step to setup Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+ ( Ram 512 Mb )

First!! I have to tell that I do that setup in April 2021 and the latest Raspbian OS call Buster ( kernel version 5.10.17 ) but I did not use this version. My RPI is too old, But I think I can use it for some purpose.

So I pick a Raspbian OS v.9 Stretch ( with kernel version 4.14 ). You can check kernel version in this link.

But If you go to download Raspbian OS in official link.

You will get lastest version of Raspbian OS not your specify oldest version.

That is all Buster

You can go to this link if you need to specify the Lite version.

Or if you need the normal version ( With Desktop ), you can go to this link.

And I pick latest Stretch version in this link.

Download .zip file and use your familiar tools to fetch Micro SD card. I use Balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ).

Next Part I will setup SSH and Networking to use Wifi
