Resin Dockerfile & scripts for The Things Network gateways based on the iC880a concentrator with a Raspberry Pi host, connected using SPI.

Using this with Resin

Download Raspbian Jessie
Follow the installation instruction 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
