Sparky ARMHF is available as an “img” image in two flavours:

• “Lite” - a text based OS only, so you can configure the system in your way
• graphical version with Openbox window manager and a few pre-installed applications

Both have pre-configured Sparky's repositories, so you can install some Sparky's tools.

Make sure that some packages which are available via Sparky tools can not be installed on ARM system, such as a few window managers, a few web browsers, etc.

• user: 'pi', password: 'sparky'
