Free Download Argolis Smart Reader Plus Driver Package (Other Drivers & Tools).

I have recently acquired a couple of to play with, and I must say I am quite impressed with this cheap little device. Elec 2507 Lab Manual. You can use it as a desktop, a small server, a media center and you also have to control external hardware, like sensors and motor drivers (like the but with much more processing power and memory). The first experiment I did when I got my hands on the Raspberry was to compile and install Oscam so I could have a server with little energy consumption but still has the processing power required to sustain a large number of Oscam users and readers. This post is the report of my experiment and will allow you to reproduce my steps. This tutorial is organized in 4 steps: So, before we start, you are going to need to download a few tools and the Raspberry Image.

Below is the list of tools I used, there are others but these ones worked for me. Tools Required Win32DiskImager – This tool will be used to load the Raspbian Image into the SD-Card. Putty – This is an SSH and Telnet client which will be used to remotely access the Raspberry. Filezilla FTP Client– This is an FTP client that supports SFTP which will be used to send files to the Raspberry using the SFTP protocol. Raspbian Image – This is the Raspbian image which will be loaded into the SD Card (need a 2Gb card or higher). Ok, now that you have downloaded the tools, let´s get started.

Step 1 – Prepare an SD-Card with a Raspbian official image and boot your Raspberry for the first time. There are several images for the Raspberry. On this tutorial we are using the official Raspbian image. It comes with alot of stuff you will not use on a dedicated Oscam server, like the X server and the LXDE Enviroment but we will use this image and not remove anything because you might want to use your raspberry for other stuff while running Oscam at the same time. • Extract the Raspbian image you downloaded into a folder on the computer. • Insert your SD Card on the computer card reader or an external card reader. • Launch the Win32DiskImager and select the image you extracted (ex: 2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian.img).

• Select the drive letter of the SD Card you want to flash. • Click on “Write” and wait for the process to terminate. There are many other ways to flash the image on the SD Card as you can see. Now that the image is flashed, it is time to insert the card into the Raspberry and connect the power, display and network cable. Remember that the default login for this image is: Username: pi Password: raspberry At the raspberry first boot you will see a configuration menu which will allow you to setup your system (this is the raspi-config tool which you can call at any time by using the “sudo raspi-config” command).

Activereports 7 Serial Number there. The only changes I made on this menu was the “expand_rootfs” option because I have an 8Gb SD-Card and wanted to use the full space (by default it uses just 2Gb) and I changed my password and the timezone to correct the date/time for my country and zone. After setting your changes I advise you to restart your raspberry.

Now that you have installed your image on the Raspberry it is time to prepare the system for Oscam. You will obviously need to type some commands to install the packages, you can do this by using a keyboard connected on one of the USB ports or you can do it remotely using SSH and I recommend the SSH method because you will be able to copy & paste commands which is very useful. In order to remotely access the Raspberry SSH server, it should be connected to the network and you need to know which IP address it has acquired from the DHCP server. After booting the raspberry there will be a message on the console which says something like “My IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”. After logging into the raspberry you can also type “ifconfig” and you will see the network configuration for the eth0 device. The second line should be something like “inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”. That is the raspberry IP address.
