Raspbian 10, 11, 12, 13

The Raspberry Pi OS (raspbian) for armhf 32-bit processors is slightly different than the main debian armhf distributions. It uses ARMv6 instructions, instead of the ARMv7 instructions used by the main debian installation. Use the following to set up the raspbian repository, and see the debian section for the rest of the instructions.

Raspberry Pi OS (raspbian) for 64-bit uses the standard debian repository. This is only for 32-bit ARMv6 installation.

sudo apt install apt-transport-https dirmngr gnupg ca-certificates
wget -O - https://robotraconteur.github.io/robotraconteur-apt/wasontech-apt.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://robotraconteur.github.io/robotraconteur-apt/raspbian buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/robotraconteur.list
sudo apt update
