A Broadcom development platform is available for sign out by students the Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning North Campus Technology Parts Crib.

Humber Parts Crib Raspberry Pi Image Creation

Building the Humber image for the Sense Hat:

  1. Format an at least class 10 minimum of 8GB SD card with: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html

  2. Download and unzip http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-08-17/2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch.zip

  3. Use http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ or Rufus to write 2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch.img on to the card.

  4. Alternatively you can use download, unzip, and copy the folder contents of http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS/images/NOOBS-2017-08-17/NOOBS_v2_4_3.zip into the root directory of the SD card which, after the first boot, has a similar result to the above steps.

  5. Change internationalization options to the 104 key US keyboard by opening a terminal and using the command:

    sudo raspi-config

    (4. Localisation Options->I3 Change Keyboard layout->Generic 104-key PC->Other->English (US)->English (US)->The default for the keyboard layout->No compose key->No) (Also enable ssh'ing under Interfacing Options, and make sure you change your device's password)

  6. Once you have connected to the internet via wired ethernet or Wi-Fi also use the terminal to do the following which takes a significant period of time:

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/six0four/StudentSenseHat/master/firmware/hshcribv01.sh \  
-O /home/pi/hshcribv01.sh  
chmod u+x /home/pi/hshcribv01.sh  
/home/pi/hshcribv01.sh

  7. You should consider setting the mysql password by using

    mysqladmin -u root password mysecretpasswordgoeshere

  8. You can test the GLG toolkit by running:

    ./RUN_DEMOS_NO_OPENGL

  9. If interested in using Microsoft Windows' built-in Remote Desktop Connection as per the devices in the Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning North Campus Technology Parts Crib:

    sudo apt-get install -y tightvncserver
sudo apt-get install -y xrdp

    For the Broadcom Development Platforms available from the parts crib /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini has the username and password set as per:

    [xrdp1]
Name=sesman-Xvnc
Lib=libnc.so
Username=pi
Password=raspberry
Ip=127.0.0.1
Port=-1

    They also have the static IP set via: /boot/cmdline.txt as per:

    dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p6 rootfstype=ext4 elavator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait ip=169.254.0.2

    on your device you may need:

    dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rootfstype=ext4 elavator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait ip=169.254.0.2

    or:

    dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elavator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles ip=169.254.0.2

  10. Otherwise, from the Start Menu->Preferences->Raspberry Pi Configuration->Interfaces set vnc to Enabled.

  11. I still have to work on the echo $PATH with Paul to ensure the libraries are found correctly

  12. The next curricular milestone is for students to demonstrate their ssh connections to their devices.

  13. Subsequently followed by a milestone for which students show their LED blinking on their ARM development platform's interface board akin to https://six0four.github.io/StudentSenseHat/cribpi.html.
