EBC Exercise 04 Setup Scripts
Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
This is a guide to the many scripts I've written that make getting the Bone running much easier. Do this after you have updated the OS and used git to get the support materials.
Some of the things listed here have to be done only once, others are done every time you reboot, or more often.
Do when the bone is running a new image
There are a number of files I like to have on the Bone. Rather than remember what they all are, I just put them in a script and run it on the host. Take a look at my install.sh script.
host$ nano install.sh
You'll see things like
- Setting the Bone's date to the host's date
- Copying the exercises to the bone rather than using git clone (much faster on a slow link).
There is a line that starts with ssh root@$BONE " that runs all the following commands, up to the closing " on the bone. These commands
- Set up git
- Copy over .bashrc
- Set the timezone
and so on.
Edit install.sh to install what you want.
Proxy
IIT Mandi uses a proxy, so the following might be needed
apt-get install dconf-tools for proxy in ftp http https socks do echo $proxy dconf write /system/proxy/$proxy/host "'10.8.0.1'" dconf write /system/proxy/$proxy/port "'8080'" done
I don't know if this is needed on the Bone, but it's needed on the host to reach the Bone
dconf write /system/proxy/ignore-hosts "['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8', '192.168.7.0/8', '::1']" dconf write /system/proxy/mode "'manual'" dconf write /system/proxy/use-same-proxy "false" dconf dump /system/proxy/ export http_proxy=http://10.8.0.1:8080/ export https_proxy=https://10.8.0.1:8080/
From http://jjasonclark.com/how-to-setup-node-behind-web-proxy/
npm config set proxy http://10.8.0.1:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://10.8.0.1:8080 git config --global http.proxy http://10.8.0.1:8080 git config --global https.proxy https://10.8.0.1:8080
