This document contains information regarding setup of the
ninfacyzga-01 hardware common to all operation modes. This includes:
** Operating Procedures
*** Initial Startup
**** Physical Setup
+The device should be supplied with 5V power and an SD card with the
+latest Raspberry Pi OS image installed. As of 2020-10-07, this will be
+version 10 (e.g. Raspbian Buster 10).
+
+No additional hardware (ex: GPS module, UPS module, thermocouples) is
+required to perform actions described in this document
+
**** Software Setup
***** Install Operating System
Install Raspberry Pi OS onto an SD card image. See the Raspberry Pi
freshly installed image of Raspberry Pi OS by making sure an empty
file named ~ssh~ is present on the ~boot~ partition.
+***** Login via SSH
+Assuming your router supports finding your Raspberry Pi via its
+default hostname of `raspberypi`, log into the pi via Wi-Fi using the
+following command:
+
+: $ ssh pi@raspberrypi
+
+Otherwise, you may have to identify the raspbery pi's IP address via
+your network router's administration console and login via a command
+resembling this:
+
+: $ ssh pi@192.168.x.x
+
+If you had previously set up a different raspberry pi that also used
+the same hostname ~raspberrypi~ or the same IP address (ex:
+~192.168.123.123~), you may have to inform your computer that this is a
+different device. You may do so using these commands:
+
+: $ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts -R "raspberrypi"
+: $ ssh-keygen -R 192.168.123.123
+
***** Add SSH public key
If the use has an SSH public key, it may be added as a line in
~~/.ssh/authorized_keys~.
+Add the ~~/.ssh~ directory if it doesn't already exist.
+
+: $ mkdir ~/.ssh
+
Follow [[https://superuser.com/a/925859/][these]] directions to set permissions.
: $ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
: $ sudo apt upgrade -y
: $ sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
+***** Change time zone
+The time zone should be set to "UTC" for simplicity.
+
+: $ sudo raspi-config
+
+Navigate to ~4 Localisation Options~, ~I2 Change Time Zone~, ~None of the above~, ~UTC~.
+
***** Update hostname
A unique hostname is required to uniquely identify the device on the
network.
the latest security patches for packages are installed. See [[https://linux-audit.com/using-unattended-upgrades-on-debian-and-ubuntu/][this page]]
for a description of how ~unattended-upgrades~ works.
+: $ sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
+
The configuration file is located at:
~/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades~ ([[https://linux-audit.com/using-unattended-upgrades-on-debian-and-ubuntu/][ref]]). Make sure that the
following lines are present and not commented out.
: $ sudo apt install syncthing
+Enable automatic startup. (See [[https://docs.syncthing.net/users/autostart.html][ref]]).
+
+: $ sudo systemctl enable syncthing@pi.service
+: $ sudo systemctl start syncthing@pi.service
+
+The WebUI of the local instance of syncthing (port 8384) can be
+accessed by running the following command from a separate machine:
+
+: $ ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8390:127.0.0.1:8384 pi@ninfacyzga-1-x
+
+Then, the separate machine should navigate to ~localhost:8390~ in a
+web browser in order to change the ninfacyzga-1 device's
+configuration. The separate machine's Syncthing configuration options
+are accessible via its own web browser via ~localhost:8384~.
+
****** ~git~
~git~ facilitates downloading files from this repository to the
device. It may be installed via:
Raspbian 10 Buster:

+***** Disable Bluetooth
+In order to reduce power consumed by bluetooth transmissions,
+bluetooth functionality should be disabled (see [[https://di-marco.net/blog/it/2020-04-18-tips-disabling_bluetooth_on_raspberry_pi/][link]]).
+
+Modify the ~/boot/config.txt~ file (the Pi's equivalent to BIOS
+settings; see [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/][link]]) to make sure the following lines are added:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+# Disable Bluetooth
+dtoverlay=disable-bt
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+The ~hciuart~ service is associated with bluetooth functionality via
+UART which may conflict with location and time data provided via
+~/dev/ttyAMA0~. It should be disabled like so:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+$ sudo systemctl disable hciuart
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+***** Disable login console via serial port
+Some ~ninfacyzga~ functions (location and time) require data transfer
+via ~/dev/ttyAMA0~. In order to prevent serial login programs from
+interfering with such functions, it is necessary to disable them.
+
+Run the following commands to disable login via ~ttyAMA0~:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+$ sudo systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
+$ sudo systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
+$ sudo systemctl disable hciuart
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+Modify ~/boot/cmdline.txt~ to remove the console:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+$ sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+Remove ~console=serial0,115200~
+
***** Log Transfer Configuration
Log files may be shared to other machines via ~syncthing~. See [[https://docs.syncthing.net/][this]]
