Instructions for Installing Jessie from a Linux Host

Post by KarlZeilhofer »

I hope this isn't a duplicate of an instruction, which I didn't find:

Code: Select all

Update to Jessi from a Linux Machine
====================================
Tested on a Linux Mint 18.1
---------------------------

Get and compile rpiboot from the Raspberry Pi Foundation:
> git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot
	Cloning into 'usbboot'...
> cd usbboot
> sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
> make
> sudo ./rpiboot
	This waits for the Compute Module
	Connect your RevPi with the USB cable to the micro USB connector and power it up. 
	This mounts now a new device under /dev/sdX

Create a backup of your RevPi (assuming RevPi is on /dev/sdc, check this with lsblk)
> sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdc | pv | sudo dd of=backup.img

download the jessie image from the kunbus shop
	https://revolution.kunbus.de/shop/de/jessie

extract the zip file

Check the MD5 sum:
> md5sum 2017-09-22-revpi-jessie.img

Write the new Jessie image to the RevPi:
> sudo dd bs=4M if=2017-09-22-revpi-jessie.img | pv | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc
	wait for 31:18 minutes (2.1 MB/s)

disconnect the USB cable
turn RevPi power off and on again, wait...

> sudo nmap -sP 10.0.0.*
	assuming your local subnet is 10.0.0.xxx
	this lists all network devices, which should find also the RevPi

> ssh pi@10.0.0.26

enter serialnumber and mac address and repower your RevPi
search for it on the LAN again:
> sudo nmap -sP 10.0.0.*
> ssh pi@10.0.0.30

for restoring programs and settings proceed with instructions from

I wasn't able to find the git repository at that URL, or in GitHub using the search tool. Could somebody please clarify the location of this tool?

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi Brendan,

the URL https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot as given above in Karl's post is correct, however for some reason the resulting git message "Cloning into 'usbboot'... " was pasted immediately behind the URL, so if you copy-pasted that to the command line it's not surprising at all that it didn't work. I've just taken the liberty to edit Karl's post and insert a line break between the URL and the git message.
