  • DHCP server on ethernet to remote in over ethernet at fixed 192.168.1.1 IP
  • WiFi to ethernet forwarding to have internet access when connected through ethernet
• Setting up Poll Me Maybe
• Setting up Raspberry Pi hardware
  • Enable UART, SPI, I2C interfaces
  • Set up Raspberry Pi USB Power option
  • Set up GPIO pins for Raven
• Install adafruit-blinka
• Load Raven firmware
• Configurating Git + generating SSH key
• Cloning team's MASLAB repo

Setup Steps

Prerequisites:

• Git repo set up for each team (normally on MIT Github)
• A Raspberry Pi per team with SSD and RAM installed
• SD card set up by Raspberry Pi Imager with
  • Ubuntu 24.04 server
  • These customisations (change x to team number)
    
    

For each Raspberry Pi:

1. Clone and cd into this repo with:
   git clone https://github.com/MASLAB/raspi-setup ~/raspi-setup && cd ~/raspi-setup
2. Run setup script and enter team number and year when prompted ./setup.sh
3. Copy SSH public key (output of script) and add it as a deploy key to the team repo
4. Reboot
5. Go back into this repository and run
   ./update-software.sh

And you're done! Keep this repo to update Raven firmware and MASLAB software library:
git pull && ./update-software.sh
