Preparing NanoPI M1 Plus for Eywa

Step 1 - Flash card

Download nanopi-m1-plus_sd_debian-jessie_4.14_armhf_20181119.img from FriendlyElec shared folder.

Then, flash an SD card (we used Toshiba 16Gb) with balena Etcher (or equivalent).

The username/password of the system is root / fa .

Step 2 - Remove the unwanted packages

apt-get --yes --force-yes remove --auto-remove --purge network-manager x11-common x11-proto*

Before rebooting the system, you must configure /etc/network/interfaces with the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.10.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.254

NOTE: the eth0 is unconfigured by default. If you forget to configure it in the file and reboot, the board will be inaccessible by ssh.

Then, remove the unwanted directories:

cd /root
rm -rf demo/ Desktop/ Documents/ Downloads/ mjpg-streamer/ Music/ Pictures/ Public/ Templates/ Videos/ WiringNP/
