=== Raspberry Pi (1) ===
The ARMv6 image boots out-of-the-box.
=== Raspberry Pi 2 ===
The ARMv7 image should boot out-of-the-box, though the author hasn't personally tested this.
=== Raspberry Pi 3 ===
Both the AArch64 and ARMv7 images boot out-of-the-box. Using the 64-bit AArch64 image is highly recommended, as the availability of binaries is much better and allows the use of the 64-bit instruction set.
Use the following GPIO Pins with an USB-TTL connector:
<syntaxhighlight>
GND        - 3rd in top row, black cable
GPIO 14 TXD - 4th in top row, white cable
GPIO 15 RXD - 5th in top row, green cable
</syntaxhighlight>
Use <code>nix-shell -p screen --run "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200"</code> to connect to the console.
{{note|Right now (2017-10-08) wifi is not working out of the box on the Raspberrypi 3, you will need to use ethernet. Add the following to your configuration.nix. This requires linux kernel > 4.13.0 }}

USB keyboards and HDMI displays work perfectly. Also a 3.3v serial port via the 3-pin header works.

=== Raspberry Pi (all versions) ===
USB keyboards and HDMI displays work perfectly. Using the 3.3v serial port via the pin headers (exact location depends on hardware version) should also work.
