iRidium server RPi - software realization of iRidium server that is launched as a daemon or a console app on Raspberry Pi 3 model B and B+ , Raspberry Pi 4 model B controllers. For each model we have prepared an image. You can find instructions for each models below:

Raspberry Pi 3 model B Linux Debian Jessie;
Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ Raspbian Buster Lite;
Raspberry Pi 4 model B Raspbian Buster Lite;

Technical specifications:

Recommended load:

15 of control panels
up to 3000 tags of iRidium server (recommended number of tags is up to 5000 tags).

Warranty period: 12 months.

iRidium server connects to equipment and sends commands from control panels to it. The control panels connect to the server to control equipment through it, get feedback, download logs and databases.

The database can store information about server work for the time since the server was launched. The control panels can output logs from the database and build graphs of changes in server variables.

Installing and Setting Raspbian Buster Lite

This image of the system is meant for Raspberry 3 Model B+ and Raspberry 4 Model B servers. We do not recommend using this image on Raspberry 3 Pi Model B.

Prepare the following equipment:

Raspberry Pi 3 B+/Raspberry Pi 4 B;
MicroSD card, class 10, 8 GB;
Power supply with 5 V/2 А MicroUSB output (for Raspberry Pi 3 B+) or with 5 В/3 А USB-С USB output (for Raspberry Pi 4 B);;
PC with Windows OS with a card reader and an Ethernet-port;
Ethernet-router with a turned on DHCP-server;
Internet access (optional).

1Download Raspbian Buster Lite image that includes iRidium server.

For Raspberry Pi 3 B+;
For Raspberry Pi 4 B.

2 Record the image on the memory card using a card reader and Win32 Disk Imager or balenaEtcher.

It's necessary to use MicroSD card, class 10 for no less than 8 GB.

3 Insert the memory card to Rapberry Pi and connect power supply via MicroUSB.

4 Connect Raspberry Pi, a PC and a router into one LAN-network. Network settings are defined automatically in the installed image. DHCP-server must be activated on the router.

In case you have no router, connect a PC to Raspberry Pi directly. To do it, install and launch on a PC any software DHCP-server, for example:

Open DHCP Server;
TFTPD32.

5 Define the IP-address of Rapberry Pi with the help of Advanced Port Scanner.

6 Connect to the device via the IP-address, defined earlier (see 5 ) with the help of Putty or enter via the Web-interface. The device is ready for work.

Host Name (or IP address): the IP-address of the device defined earlier
Port: 22 (always)
Connection type: SSH (always)

You can also enter via Web-interface.

7 Update the server version to the latest one. You'll find a detailed manual in the " Server update" section.

2 Download the following software:

archive with image of Raspbian Jessie Lite OS (Linux Debian Jessie for Raspberry Pi): Raspbian Jessie lite

OS Raspbian Stretch is not supported

Win32 Disk Imager (or similar software, for example, WinToFlash or Rufus)

Advanced Port Scanner (or another scanner of LAN)

Putty

3 Unpack the archived image of Raspbian Jessie OS. You'll get a file of .img format.

4 Record Raspbian Jessie image on the memory card using a card-reader and Win32 Disk Imager.

5 Add ssh.txt file (empty file) to the root folder of the card to activate SSH protocol.

Attention! You need to add the ssh.txt file to the root folder before starting RPi for the first time.

6 Insert the memory card to Rapberry Pi and connect power supply via MicroUSB.

Keep the order of actions: first insert a memory card then connect power supply!

7 Connect Raspberry Pi, a PC and a router into a LAN. DHCP-server must be active on the router.

If there is no router, a PC and Raspberry Pi can be connected directly to each other. Install any software DHCP server on a PC and launch it. The following software DHCP servers can be used:

Open DHCP Server

TFTPD32

8 Define the IP address of Raspberry with the help of Advanced Port Scanner.

9 Launch Putty and set it this way:

Host Name (or IP address): the IP-address of the device defined earlier
Port: 22 (always)
Connection type: SSH (always)

Click Open.

10 Update the server version to the latest one. You'll find a detailed manual in the " Server update" section.

Server Update

1 Start Putty, a command line of Linux Debian OS, installed on the server, appears on the screen of a PC. Enter the login (pi) and password (raspberry).

The password is not displayed on the console - it is normal. Press Enter after you enter the password.

2 Upload iRidium server for Raspberry on the device with the following name iridiumserver.deb:

Authorize on the server using the integrator's login and password from the iRidium mobile web site. You cannot use the server without authorization.

Go through all authorization steps to get access to the server settings. Activate the option "Test Mode: ON" in the server settings to use it in the fully functional mode. You can see more information about the use modes in the section Licensing Policy.

With the activated Test Mode you can also test work of cloud projects and upload projects from iRidium Transfer (locally, without iRidium Cloud).

Adding a server to the i3 lite project

You may add the server to the project in two ways:
1 Adding the server during the creation of the project
Launch the i3 lite application and start to create a project. The application will ask you to add a server. You need to agree.

You will see a window with the servers available on the local network. You need to select your server

The application will ask you to enter the activation code using the QR scanner or manually

Now the server is added to the project.
2 Adding a server to the already created project
Open the project and go to the Config

Click the "server" tab and click the "Select Server" button.

You will see a window with the servers available on the local network. You need to select your server. The application will ask you to enter the pin code from the server (pin code is default 2007). After entering the PIN code, the server must be activated by clicking on the corresponding button

Server setting up

When the server is installed, you can start developing its configuration and logic: Server Projects in iRidium Studio
