Jun 29, 2015 How to set up your Raspberry Pi in Mac OS X. By Linux Format 29 June 2015. Get some Apple in your Raspberry Pi. And also make sure you've got hold of the latest Raspbian image. Jun 12, 2017  Mount a Raspberry Pi SD card on a Mac (read-only) with osxfuse and ext4fuse. For my Raspberry Pi Time-Lapse App, I find myself having to either copy hundreds (or thousands!) of 3+ MB image files, or a 1-2 GB video file from a Raspberry Pi Zero W to my Mac.

Raspberry Pi Imager is the recommended option for most users to write images to SD cards.

Determine SD device

  • Insert the SD card in the slot or connect the SD card reader with the SD card inside.

Command Line

  • diskutil list

    Example (the SD card is /dev/disk2 - your disk and partition list may vary):

Graphical / Disk Utility

  • From the Apple menu, choose 'System Report', then click on 'More info...'.
  • Click on 'USB' (or 'Card Reader' if you are using a built-in SD card reader), then search for your SD card in the upper right section of the window. Click on it, then search for the BSD name in the lower right section.It is in the form diskN (for example, disk4).Record this name.
  • using Disk Utility, unmount the partition.Do not eject it.

Copy the image

Command Line

Note: The use of the dd tool can overwrite any partition of your machine.If you specify the wrong device in the instructions, you could overwrite your primary Mac OS partition!

  • The disk must be unmounted before copying the image

  • Copy the image

    Replace N with the number that you noted before.

    This can take more than 15 minutes, depending on the image file size.Check the progress by pressing Ctrl+T.

    If the command reports dd: /dev/rdisk2: Resource busy, you need to unmount the volume first sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2.

    If the command reports dd: bs: illegal numeric value, change the block size bs=1m to bs=1M.

    If the command reports dd: /dev/rdisk2: Operation not permitted you need to disable SIP before continuing.

    If the command reports dd: /dev/rdisk3: Permission denied, the partition table of the SD card is being protected against being overwritten by Mac OS. Erase the SD card's partition table using this command:

    That command will also set the permissions on the device to allow writing.Now issue the dd command again.

Eject

After the dd command finishes, eject the card:

DMG is a file of Apple Disk Image. The Apple Disk Images are disk image files commonly used by the Mac OS X operating system. When opened, an Apple disk image is 'mounted' as a volume within the Finder. Several Apple proprietary disk image formats can be used to create these images, including the Universal Disk Image Format (UDIF) and the New Disk Image Format (NDIF). Apple disk images usually have the .dmg file extension.

Apple disk images allow secure password protection as well as file compression and hence serves both security and file distribution functions; they are most commonly used to distribute software over the Internet.

Universal Disk Image Format (UDIF) is the native disk image format for Mac OS X. Disk images in this format typically have a .dmg extension. New Disk Image Format (NDIF) was the previous default disk image format in Mac OS 9, and disk images with this format generally have a .img (not to be confused with raw .img disk image files) or .smi file extension. Files with the .smi extension are actually applications that mount an embedded disk image, thus a 'Self Mounting Image', and are intended only for Mac OS 9 and earlier. A previous version of the format, intended only for floppy disk images, is usually referred to as 'Disk Copy 4.2' format, after the version of the Disk Copy utility that was used to handle these images. A similar format that supported compression of floppy disk images is called DART. Apple disk image files are published with a MIME type of application/x-apple-diskimage.

Different file systems can be contained inside these disk images, and there is also support for creating hybrid optical media images that contain multiple file systems. Some of the file systems supported include Hierarchical File System (HFS), HFS Plus, File Allocation Table (FAT), ISO9660 and Universal Disk Format (UDF).

Open/Extract DMG File on Linux

You can use command mount to mount DMG file as a virtual drive.

First, you must login as a root user, and then create a directory for DMG image

Raspberry pi mac address
# mkdir -p /mnt/macimage

Use mount command as follows to mount DMG file called image.dmg:

# mount -o loop -t hfsplus image.dmg /mnt/macimage
Mount raspberry pi dmg image on mac pc

If the DMG is HFS file system, use:

# mount -o loop -t hfs image.dmg /mnt/macimage

Change directory to list files stored inside an DMG image:

# cd /mnt/macimage
# ls -l

Unmount the DMG image, type:

# umount /mnt/macimage

Alternatively, you can use p7zip to extract the DMG file. p7zip is the Unix command-line port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives with high compression ratios.
