New Raspberry Pi Imager Update (V1.6)
The Raspberry Pi foundation released a very interesting update yesterday (19-03-21). Namely the Raspberry Pi Imager V1.6! It has been about a year since the Imager was launched. It worked well from the start, but now there are a number of useful adjustments.
What's new?
At first the Imager looks the same as before. However, as soon as you press the “Select OS” button you will immediately see different icons. The top button with the standard version of Raspberry Pi OS is still colored, but the rest are all black and white. There is now a category for media players, but it still only contains LibreElec (Kodi). There is now a category for emulators and games. You will find RetroPie and Recalbox here. Below that is a category with specific operating systems such as OctoPi.
The bootloader now has options to boot from an SD card, USB, or via the network.
Ctrl-Shift-X
The most interesting feature of this new update is the new advanced menu. In this menu you can set a number of things that were previously only set after booting the Pi. For example, you can already enable SSH. This is very useful if you want to access the Pi remotely from the start. You can also set the WiFi in advance. The settings of the advanced menu remain set for the rest of the session after saving. If you want to write SD cards more often with the adjusted settings, you can also choose to always use the settings. You do this by selecting “to always use” via the dropdown at the top of the advanced menu. Your adjusted settings will now be used every time you start the Imager.
Download New Imager
Unfortunately, there is no function in the Imager yet that allows you to download the Imager automatically. For the new version, you have to reinstall the program. You can do this via the links below:
