# CoderDojoDC Tilde Pi

This project generates a simple Linux server that can be loaded onto a

Raspberry Pi. The server will be used to teach CoderDojoDC members about

the Unix commandline and let them post simple web pages.

## Building

If you're using Ubuntu, you may need to install some packages to make Buildroot

work. This should be sufficient:

    $ sudo apt-get install git g++ libncurses5-dev bc

    $ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386 gcc-multilib # 64-bit Linux

After that, clone this project and run `make`:

    $ make tilde_pi_defconfig

    $ make

It can take some time to download and build everything so you may need to be

patient. The build products can be found in `buildroot/output/images`.

## Installing

Insert an SDCard on your PC and note where it appears under Linux. If the SDCard

is automounted, make sure to `umount` everything that was mounted. Then run the

following, but replace `/dev/sdc` with the path to the SDCard.

    $ sudo dd if=buildroot/output/images/tilde_pi.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M

Insert the SDCard into a Raspberry Pi Model B, and watch it boot over the serial

port. Log in as...

## Running in qemu

It's possible to do a lot of work locally in qemu. Run the following to make a

qemu build:

    $ make clean

    $ make tilde_qemu_defconfig

    $ make

Then, start up qemu:

    $ qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel buildroot/output/images/zImage \

              -drive file=buildroot/output/images/rootfs.ext2,if=sd \

              -append "console=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0" \

              -serial telnet:localhost:4444,server \

              -net nic,model=lan9118 -net user -nographic

Now that qemu is started, it's waiting for you to connect to the serial port.

This is accessible by telneting to port 4444. I.e.

    $ telnet localhost 4444

Log in as root:root or fhunleth:fhunleth, etc. for now.
