RaspberryPi-USB-Flasher-ARM-based

#before download #imagers not yet supported , only bootable iso only

of course once in a while we need this also , to make bootable usb stick using raspberry pi this started as a personal project as my main laptop got shutdown (while i was uisng linux-ubuntu) and cannot turned back on so i didnt had spare laptop or desktop so i had to rely on raspberry , but for some reason other apps (bootable makers) didnt worked out with me , so when i am back to original state first thing i did is making a python program for format | iso writer | make a bootable usb.

so here it goes guys! have some fun! and please update me for bugs | issues | new ideas , i am happy to implement them....

All hail Astartes!

USB Formatter GUI for Raspberry Pi OS

Usage

• Recommended: run with root privileges to avoid repeated password prompts:

sudo python3 format_usb_gui.py

• If you run as non-root, the script will invoke sudo for formatting and unmounting operations.

Dependencies (install on Raspberry Pi OS):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-tk dosfstools exfat-utils ntfs-3g btrfs-progs xfsprogs

Notes

• This tool lists block devices via lsblk. Select the correct device (e.g., /dev/sda, /dev/sdb) before formatting.
• Formatting is destructive. Double-check the selected device.
• The script attempts to unmount any mounted partitions of the device before formatting.

Supported filesystems

• Detected dynamically based on available mkfs binaries (e.g., mkfs.ext4, mkfs.vfat, mkfs.exfat, mkfs.ntfs, mkfs.xfs, mkfs.btrfs).

• update License
