PiBox » Iron Man

I created an image file and tested on a RPi Model B. It won't work with a Model 2 (quad core) because that uses a different CPU. It will probably work with a B+ or A. You can get the image file here:

http://www.graphics-muse.org/archives/pibox/mirror/pibox-pre-0.11.0.img

You need a 3GB or larger SD card for this. The image file is 2.5GB. To install:

dd if=pibox-pre-0.11.0.img of=/dev/sdcard bs=1M

Substitue the device name as appropriate, or use some other tool to do a byte copy to the SD card.

This will boot up to the PiBox Development Platform. Wait for the second boot - the first boot runs some setup stuff and then reboots into the working system. Use the root menu (right click on background) to get the Network Configuration tool. Configure your network and then copy in the .opk files from the original package. Use

ssh root@ipaddrr

with a password of pibox. Install the opk files with

opkg-cl install *.opk

Then reboot. That will get you the PiBox Media Server interface, which is what we'll use to control the IoT devices.

Let me know how this goes for you by updating this issue.

Did you try the image file yet? Ball's in your court on this one.

No need for this anymore. We can easily create the SD card from the binary release and install scripts.

Closing issue.
