Raspberry Gateway Guide¶

This installer targets the SPI version of the board. IMST iC880a + Raspberry Pi.

Download Raspbian Jessie Lite
Follow the installation instructions to create the SD card
Start your RPi connected to Ethernet
Plug the iC880a (WARNING: first power plug to the wall socket, then to the gateway DC jack, and ONLY THEN USB to RPi!)
Login with the default user pi and password raspberry
Run raspi-config

    $ sudo raspi-config

Enable SSH mode in Interface Options
Enable SPI in Advanced Options
Save
Write down your IP address if you want to use your machine to connect to the Rpi. By default DHCP is enabled.

    ifconfig

Reboot
Now if you want you can ssh into the RPi using the default hostname

    local $ ssh pi@<youripaddress>

Configure locales and time zone:

    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Make sure you have an updated installation and install git

    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get upgrade
    $ sudo apt-get install git

Create new user for ResIOT and add it to sudoers

    $ sudo adduser resiot
    $ sudo adduser resiot sudo

Logout and login as resiot and remove the default pi user

    $ sudo userdel -rf pi

Now You can setup a wifi connection if you wish to:

    $ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

And add the following block at the end of the file, replacing SSID and password to match your network:

    network={
        ssid="The_SSID_of_your_wifi"
        psk="Your_wifi_password"
    }

Clone the installer and start the installation

    $ git clone https://github.com/resiot/gateway-iC880a.git ~/resiot
    $ cd ~/resiot/<yourserver>
    $ sudo chmod 775 ./install.sh
    $ sudo chmod 775 ./start.sh
    $ sudo ./install.sh

Finally, to know the Gateway EUI of your gateway, which is required by the ResIOT platform, enter the following command:

echo "$(ip link show eth0 | awk '/ether/ {print $2}' | awk -F\: '{print $1$2$3"FFFE"$4$5$6}')"

If you get an empty text, try with the following instead:

echo "$(ip link show wlan0 | awk '/ether/ {print $2}' | awk -F\: '{print $1$2$3"FFFE"$4$5$6}')"
