etcher-headless

[WIP] etcher based automatic drive flashing device

this project was hacked in a beautiful night during the resin.io 2016 session - it still is a hack, aiming to be a proof-of-concept for automated multi-flashing device.

It will likely change slightly and break until it reaches a more stable condition

Getting started

  • Sign up on resin.io

  • go throught the getting started guide and create a new Raspberry Pi 1+/2/3 model B application called etcherHeadless

  • clone this repository to your local workspace

  • set these variables in the Fleet Configuration application side tab if you want to use a raspberry Pi

    • RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_max_usb_current = 1

  • add the resin remote to your local workspace using the useful shortcut in the dashboard UI remoteadd

  • git push resin master

  • see the magic happening, your device is getting updated Over-The-Air!

Configure via environment variables

Variable Name Default Description
ETCHER_IMAGE_URL NaN The URL from which etcher downloads the image to be flashed
PORTAL_SSID ResinAP the SSID name of the Access Point the device spawns for WiFi configuration
GUI_TYPE none the Feedback device to be used (for now, you can pick the Pimoroni blinkt LED strip setting ledStrip)
DEBUG none comma separated modules list that activate verbose logging on the device dashboard (main)

How it works

The device downloads the image set via ETCHER_IMAGE_URL and then checks for new media attached - every time a new one is found, it flashes the downloaded image on it. Works in parallel so you can attach and flash multiple media at the same time.
