In this document the term host system refers to a Linux desktop or laptop that will be used to download and install software
onto an SD card.

The Ironman Monitor¶

The Ironman Monitor runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 and provides a central hub for management of home automation devices.

Installation Prerequisites¶

• The Pi 2/3 requires a microSD card that is at least 4GB. A mechanism for using the SD card on your host system is needed, such as an SD card USB adapter or an SD port on your laptop.
• You will need to have sudo access for your Linux user id.

Generating the SD Card for the Pi¶

• Download the RPi 2 Development Platform
  • wget <url>
  • Unpack the archive to a directory called "image".
• Download the Ironman Package Collection
  • wget <url>
  • Unpack the archive to a directory called "package".

In a terminal window run: dmesg -w
Insert the microSD card and look for the device name for the newly added card. It should be something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sde.
Kill the dmesg -w command with Ctrl-C.

From the "image" directory

• Format the SD card
  • sudo ./mksd.sh -d <device name>
  • where <device name> is the name you noted from the output of dmesg -w.
• Mount the boot partition from the sd card:
  • sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot
  • sudo mount <device name>1 /mnt/boot
  • where <device name> is the name you noted from the output of dmesg -w.
• Install the Development Platform to the SD card: sudo ./mkinstall.sh -b /mnt/boot -d <device name>2
  • where <device name> is the name you noted from the output of dmesg -w.

From the "package" directory

• Mount the root partition from the sd card:
  • sudo mkdir -p /mnt/root
  • sudo mount <device name>1 /mnt/root
• Copy the Ironman Package Collection files to /root of the root partition on the SD card
  • sudo cp *.opk /mnt/root/root

Make sure all writes to the SD card have completed

• sync;sync;sync

Unmount the SD card partitions

• sudo umount /mnt/boot
• sudo umount /mnt/root

Remove the SD card from the host system.
