Embedded Read-only Root on Raspberry Pi and Odroid

Introduction

My main home automation controller runs on an Odroid U3 (bought from pollin.de).  Additionally I have a number of Raspberry Pi devices performing various duties around the home.

One of the most important features of an embedded system is that it doesn’t fail or need maintenance because of a power failure or an update etc.  This article explains how to run debian wheezy on these
devices with a read-only root filesystem. Continue reading “Embedded Read-only Root on Raspberry Pi and Odroid”

Cross compile openzwave control panel for armhf (Raspberry Pi) using Docker

This post describes how to build openzwave control panel for the armhf architecture using a docker image and qemu on a amd64 linux desktop (debian stretch).  Once built the ozwcp.tar.gz can be extracted and run on an armhf based system (eg. Raspberry Pi).

Install Docker

apt-get install docker.io apparmor apparmor-utils qemu-user-static wget
