I'm trying to get a single file to play on my raspberry pi. I am attempting to tinker with High Level Assembly, and C, and have gotten them to compile properly. I'm just having trouble actually getting them onto the device itself. I have a feeling that there is a way to do it bis USB, like the Arduino, but as it's using a micro sd card I don't know how to deal with it.

  • Just to clarify - is this one of the original model A/B/B+ Raspberry Pis or the Raspberry Pi 2? May 12, 2015 at 2:37
  • It was the raspberry pi 2 but I figured it out. Thanks Shekhar for the edit.

What you want to do is actually install Raspbian onto the Raspberry Pi if you have not already done so. You can then download Putty which is a windows based Terminal. It lets you connect to a remote Linux system and give commands to it. Using Putty you can actually send files from a Windows system to a Linux system (which Raspbian is).

The Terminal command is scp which stands for Secure Copy. scp <file to send> <username>@<ip to destination machine>:<directory to store file in>

Another option may be WinSCP

  • Ok thank you, ill check that out. I did have Raspbian installed but backed it up to try it. Also I have been having problems formatting my sd card. It says its a 32 gb card but after formatting it using Raspberrys tools it says its only 812 mb or so in size. I figured out that it has to be fat 32 for it to work right, but im just having no luck with getting a proper format for that card to where it can use the full 32 gigs of space. Even when i had the partitions set it showed 28.6 or so gigs on the card, which i assume is used for probably firmware and drivers, but stil im confused lol

I finally figured it out. Turns out fat32 does allow some Operating Systems to run however, most linux distros run better on the EXT2, or EXT3 system better. I forgot about that and that's what was preventing it to work. I had to use the pi tool to set it up and finally got some treading with that.

Anyway, I appreciate the help!
