If you can't get someone else's OS running, you likely won't be able to write your own. So I started by flashing the SD card with Raspbian - Raspberry Pi's recommended OS. I used the very neat [Imager tool](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/) that they make available on their website to do this.

Hook up your RPi4 and make sure it boots into Raspbian. There are plenty of resources online to help you achieve/troubleshoot this. Getting Raspbian up will test that your hardware setup is working properly. Note: because I connected my RPi4 to my (not brilliant) TV, I needed to make an edit in the _config.txt_ file on the SD card (setting the `hdmi_safe` parameter to 1) to ensure that I could see the screen. Without that, it was just black. Hook up your RPi4 and make sure it boots into Raspbian. There are plenty of resources online to help you achieve/troubleshoot this.
