Video: Installing Nodes/Bridges on Raspberry Pi
The bridge/node software for Raspberry Pi 3 is installed through an initialization program under one of 3 platforms -
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
The initialization program downloads and copies Linux image on a SD card which is placed then in Raspberry Pi 3.
Start 'terminal' program (on Mac,Linux) or a 'command prompt' program (Windows), and go to the dweb install folder:
- on Windows - > cd c:\dweb
- on MacOS - $ cd /Users/Shared/dweb
- on Linux - $ cd ~/dweb
and start the init program -
dweb2 usr-brdg-init
Select 'write Bridge SD card image for raspberry pi3" then follow the prompts to select the drive to restore the image to
!!!! please be very careful of overwriting other then the intended SD device !!!
After restoring the image you need to provide the name of the wifi network and the password/psk. These 2 items are used for connecting for the first time of a pi3
with a newly written image.
Usually the wifi name and passowrd are of the user's home where they have access and control of the internet router.
After finishing of the init program, place the SD card in the Pi3 , and power on the Pi3 device.
