# Raspberry Pi 3 Kiosk

# Very rough port!

This is a quick mod to the Nerves RPi3 system to make it start up
a webbrowser so that it's possible to use as a kiosk.

To try it out, build the system and write it to a MicroSD card. It
will boot to an Erlang prompt over the UART pins. From there, break
out of Erlang (CTRL-C, CTRL-C) and run `qt-webkit-kiosk -c /etc/qt-webkit-kiosk.ini`.

# To be updated...

This is the base Nerves System configuration for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

## Installation

If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed as:

1. Add nerves_system_rpi3 to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

def deps do
[{:nerves_system_rpi3, "~> 0.10.0"}]
end

2. Ensure nerves_system_rpi3 is started before your application:

def application do
[applications: [:nerves_system_rpi3]]
end

## Built-in WiFi Firmware

WiFi modules almost always require proprietary firmware to be loaded for them to work. The
Linux kernel handles this and firmware blobs are maintained in the
`linux-firmware` project. The firmware for the built-in WiFi module on the RPi3
hasn't made it to the `linux-firmware` project nor Buildroot, so it is included
here in a `rootfs-additions` overlay directory. The original firmware files came from
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/blob/master/brcm80211/brcm.
