Instruction for a new Intel Edison Board

all this information was collected using the kind help of the people at the @HWHackathon in Dublin #HackDublin

in specific:

Alex T of Intel
the wonderful people at Emutex Labs
Sandeep Mistry whom ever you are :)
Clarke Kevin of Intel
Stephen Houston of Intel

First of all

1. read the getting started page
   • Getting Started
2. upgrade - flash using wired or wifi
   • Mac Wired
   • Windows Wired
   • Linux Wired
3. run configure_edison --setup - general setup
4. run configure wifi - if you need to set up wifi (step 3 should take care of that)

quick log fix

removes the need for repartioning of rootfs Logs can consume all rootfs space.

mkdir /home/var
cd /var
mv log /home/var
ln -s /home/var/log

add repositories for easier workflow

add the following /etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf

src all http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/all
src x86 http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/x86
src i586 http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/i586
src/gz all http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/all
src/gz edison http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/edison
src/gz core2-32 http://repo.opkg.net/edison/repo/core2-32
src mraa-upm http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/intelgalactic

run opkg update

Install git

run opkg install git

Install MRAA - hardware communication layer

run opkg install libmraa0

Install libusb - for hid devices

run opkg install libusb-1.0-dev

Configure Bluetooth

run opkg install bluez5-dev

Start Bluetooth

rfkill unblock bluetooth
hciconfig hci0 up

use bluetoothctl and hcitool to send commands

node.js related

npm install -g ble-scanner
npm install -g async
npm install -g noble
npm install -g bleno

node-red

non of this is needed. it depends on the use

git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.git
cd node-red
npm install

npm install -g mongodb js2xmlparser arduino-firmata fs.notify serialport feedparser redis

additional nodes

clone the repository directly from GitHub into the nodes/ directory:
cd node-red/nodes/
git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes.git

remove what you do not need!

Start Coding > Intel DevKit

The Intel Development Kit for IoT (IoTDK) is a complete solution to create and test applications for Intel IoT platforms like the Intel® Galileo and Edison maker boards http://xdk.intel.com/####

``` systemctl enable xdk-daemon systemctl restart xdk-daemon ```

Good to know:

reconfigure edison

configure_edison --setup

unblock wifi / bluetooth

rfkill unblock wifi
rfkill unblock bluetooth

lists all available packages

opkg list – list available package to be installed

enable and start connman at boot:####

systemctl enable connman && systemctl start connman
