Raspberry Pi and Oscam Cardsharing tek. I have recently acquired a couple of Raspberry Pi to play with, and I must say I am quite impressed with this cheap little device. You can use it as a desktop, a small server, a media center and you also have GPIO interface to control external hardware, like sensors and motor drivers like the Arduino but with much more processing power and memory. The first experiment I did when I got my hands on the Raspberry was to compile and install Oscam so I could have a server with little energy consumption but still has the processing power required to sustain a large number of Oscam users and readers. This post is the report of my experiment and will allow you to reproduce my steps. Canon In D Original Downloader here. This tutorial is organized in 4 steps Step 1 Prepare an SD Card with a Raspbian official image and boot your Raspberry for the first time. Step 2 Install the packages required to compile Oscam for the Raspberry. Step 3 Get the source, compile and install Oscam on the Raspberry. Step 4 Final tweaks on your new Oscam server. So, before we start, you are going to need to download a few tools and the Raspberry Image. Below is the list of tools I used, there are others but these ones worked for me. Tools Required. Win. Disk. Imager https launchpad. This tool will be used to load the Raspbian Image into the SD Card. Putty http www. This is an SSH and Telnet client which will be used to remotely access the Raspberry. Filezilla FTP Client http filezilla project. This is an FTP client that supports SFTP which will be used to send files to the Raspberry using the SFTP protocol.

This is the Raspbian image which will be loaded into the SD Card need a 2. Gb card or higher. Ok, now that you have downloaded the tools, lets get started. Step 1  Prepare an SD Card with a Raspbian official image and boot your Raspberry for the first time. VFabric Suite 5. 3 Supported Configurations and System Requirements Getting Started with vFabric Suite Quick Start Guide Overview of vFabric Suite 5. Debian Install Over Serial Console Debian' title='Debian Install Over Serial Console Debian' />There are several images for the Raspberry. On this tutorial we are using the official Raspbian image. It comes with alot of stuff you will not use on a dedicated Oscam server, like the X server and the LXDE Enviroment but we will use this image and not remove anything because you might want to use your raspberry for other stuff while running Oscam at the same time. Extract the Raspbian image you downloaded into a folder on the computer. Insert your SD Card on the computer card reader or an external card reader. Launch the Win. 32. Disk. Imager and select the image you extracted ex 2. Select the drive letter of the SD Card you want to flash. Click on Write and wait for the process to terminate. There are many other ways to flash the image on the SD Card as you can see here. Now that the image is flashed, it is time to insert the card into the Raspberry and connect the power, display and network cable. Remember that the default login for this image is Username pi. Password raspberry. At the raspberry first boot you will see a configuration menu which will allow you to setup your system this is the raspi config tool which you can call at any time by using the sudo raspi config command. The only changes I made on this menu was the expandrootfs option because I have an 8.

The Raspberry Pi and other small singleboard computers are quite famous platforms for openHAB. However, setting up a fully. Gb SD Card and wanted to use the full space by default it uses just 2. Gb and I changed my password and the timezone to correct the datetime for my country and zone. After setting your changes I advise you to restart your raspberry. Now that you have installed your image on the Raspberry it is time to prepare the system for Oscam. You will obviously need to type some commands to install the packages, you can do this by using a keyboard connected on one of the USB ports or you can do it remotely using SSH and I recommend the SSH method because you will be able to copy paste commands which is very useful. In order to remotely access the Raspberry SSH server, it should be connected to the network and you need to know which IP address it has acquired from the DHCP server. After booting the raspberry there will be a message on the console which says something like My IP address is xxx. After logging into the raspberry you can also type ifconfig and you will see the network configuration for the eth. The second line should be something like inet addr xxx. That is the raspberry IP address. Now that you know which IP address is being used by your raspberry Launch putty. Type the IP address of the raspberry in the Hostname field. Click on Open. Accept the certificate and login with the piraspberry account. The first step of this tutorial is done. Why does Internet Explorer 7 and other browsers complain while accessing PMP console PMP comes with three predefined roles The PMP web console always uses HTTPS. My machine has a dedicated BMC port, and when I connect using this, I get nearperfect responsiveness from the BMC and console SOL logging works perfectly.

Why OLD Is GOOD Older PCs make great systems for learning Linux for the following reasons Debians performance as a server read No GUI is suprisingly good on old. You have successfully loaded an image into your raspberry and now have remote access to the system. Step 2  Install the packages required to compile Oscam for the Raspberry. Now that you are logged into the system, you will install all the packages required to compile Oscam. You can paste the following commands into Putty by clicking the right mouse button. First, you will update the package repositories of the APT system. The sudo command is used when you need to do something that requires permissions of a superuser. We use it because the pi account is not a superuser and system level operations like installing packages need a superuser account. Now, lets install the packages for compiling Oscam. If you are using USB smartcard readers, you will need to compile libusb. Go to your home directory. Download libusb sources from sourceforge. Extract the sources. Compile libusb and install. Back to home directory. All packages required for compiling Oscam have been installed. Step 3  Get the source, compile and install Oscam on the Raspberry. Now that you have all the required tools to compile Oscam, lets get the source from the SVN repository. Get inside the sources folder. Make the folder where the compiled binaries will be created. Get inside the folder. Prepare the build using cmake. Compile Oscam. Install Oscam. If everything went smooth without any errors, you should now have Oscam installed on your system. The oscam binary should now be located at usrlocalbin. By default oscam will attempt to read the configuration files located at usrlocaletc so we have to copy the files into it. Lets change the ownership of the configuration folder so you are able to upload files using the SFTP client using the pi account. RLaunch Filezilla FTP Client. Open the Site Manager and create a new site. Select protocol SFTP SSH File Transfer Protocol. Select Logon Type Normal. Type your raspberry username and password and click OK. Navigate to usrlocaletc folder and upload your oscam configuration files. Note If you dont have any configuration files already created, check homepioscam svnDistributiondocexample. To test you new Oscam server, type. Congratulations, you have successfully compiled and installed Oscam on your Raspberry. If you want to learn how to setup oscam to start on boot and set a fixed IP address, check the next step. Step 4  Final tweaks on your new Oscam server. On this step you will be able to set oscam like a daemon which will be started when the system boots, set a fixed IP address and update oscam to a newer version. Updating Oscam to a newer revision. Upgrading oscam to a newer revision is quite easy and you dont have to do everything all over again. You just need to update your svn copy from the repository and compileinstall again. Remember to restart oscam after installing the newer version.
