Preparing NanoPI M1 Plus for Eywa[edit]
Step 1 - Flash card[edit]
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[edit]
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 (ip, mask and gw are obviously examples):
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/
Step 3 - Install node[edit]
sudo apt-get install curl software-properties-common curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash - apt-get install nodejs
Step 4 - Install Eywa and its packages[edit]
Copy the eywa directory to /root . You can include only the following directories and files:
webSocket/ tcpSocket/ REST/ httpREST/ dist/ opencv/ watchdog-eywa.sh mountstorage.sh camera.sh sqlite.db server.js package.json.node labels.properties.en
Then, rename the file package.json.node and install modules:
cd /root/eywa mv package.json.node package.json npm install
Then, create the cert/key pair
openssl req -nodes -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/key.pem -out /etc/ssl/cert.pem -days 3650
and replace the config lines in the server.js with the following:
var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('/etc/ssl/private/key.pem', 'utf8'); var certificate = fs.readFileSync('/etc/ssl/cert.pem', 'utf8');
Add this line to /etc/crontab:
* * * * * root /root/eywa/watchdog-eywa.sh * * * * * root /root/eywa/mountstorage.sh * * * * * root /root/eywa/camera.sh
Step 5 - Correcting scripts[edit]
Install dos2unix
apt-get install dos2unix
Install cifs-utils
apt-get install cifs-utils
Correct scripts
dos2unix /root/eywa/*.sh dos2unix /root/eywa/storage.cfg chmod +x /root/eywa/*.sh
