# TTN Gateway for Raspberry Pi + IMST iC880A SPI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Resin Dockerfile & scripts for [The Things Network](http://thethingsnetwork.org/) gateways based on the iC880a concentrator with a Raspberry Pi host, connected using SPI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using this with Resin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Download [Raspbian Jessie](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)
|
||
|
|
- Follow the [installation instruction](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md) 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!)
|
||
|
|
- From a computer in the same LAN, `ssh` into the RPi using the default hostname:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
local $ ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Disable graphical boot mode and reboot:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo raspi-config
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Configure locales and time zone:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
|
||
|
|
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Remove desktop-related packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install deborphan
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge libx11-.* lxde-.* raspberrypi-artwork xkb-data omxplayer penguinspuzzle sgml-base xml-core alsa-.* cifs-.* samba-.* fonts-.* desktop-* gnome-.*
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge $(deborphan)
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
|
||
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create new user for TTN and add it to sudoers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo adduser ttn
|
||
|
|
$ sudo adduser ttn sudo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Logout and login as `ttn` and remove the default `pi` user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo userdel -rf pi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Clone the installer and start the installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/ttn-zh/ic880a-gateway.git ~/ic880a-gateway
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/ic880a-gateway
|
||
|
|
$ sudo ./install.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
