Description
The norns-image repository holds the files used to build the norns disk image; the compiled images are attached to its releases. The 250530 image is for standard norns only. Shield users are pointed to the 231114-img release, which has separate files for Pi 3 and Pi 4 and the two audio codecs, and then run SYSTEM > UPDATE to reach a current OS.
Install notes
Flash with balenaEtcher or Raspberry Pi Imager; choose the file matching your Pi model and audio codec (shield revision 211028 and later use the cs4271 codec).
