  • If there's no HDMI signal, only the red LED will turn on.
  • If there's an HDMI signal, these two LEDs will turn on.

Burn the System to TF Card

Note:

  1. Do not install the Raspbian system by means of NOOBS, otherwise there appears touch failure.
  2. On other displays, if you have installed the system on your Raspberry Pi by means of NOOBS, you can still use the 10.1-inch touch screen.
  3. If you have already installed the system, you can directly skip this chapter. Turn to next chapter to refer to Connect the Raspberry Pi and Screen, and you can get to use the 10.1-inch touch screen.

You can use the official raspberry PI mirror burning tool directly link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

But if you do this, the download process of the system files may be slow, and the system files will not be retained after the burning is completed. If you want to use the TORRENT file to download the system, or burn the system to multiple SD cards, you can follow the following Steps to operate

Step 1

Prepare the tool of image burning. Here we use the Etcher. You can download the software from the
link: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Step 2

Download the complete image on the official website by clicking this
link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.
There are three different kinds of Raspbian Stretches available, among which the Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software will be the best choice if you have no other special requirements.

Step 4

With the application of Etcher, flash the image file, raspbian into the Micro SD card.
