Implement minimal Buildroot package on Client RPi

Closed this issue · 2 comments

DoD: Set up Buildroot on the Raspberry Pi 3 B, and check if it loads on powering up.
Blockers: Waiting for RPi.

Received the RPi. So no more blockers.
Now new issue connecting Apple and Microsoft keyboards at the bootup.

DoD: Raspberry Pi 3 B image loaded successfully. Raspberry Pi 3 B booted up correctly.
There was an issue connecting Apple and Microsoft keyboards at the bootup. I had only Apple and Microsoft keyboard. And for the first time login, I needed Keyboard. I solved that issue. Steps implemented to solve this issue are mentioned in the error documentation uploaded on the repo. This issue is common but as there are not many solutions easily available online, it ate me a lot of time. Refer to the commit 45bf5e4. Wireless applications to enable OpenSSH connection and WiFi connection. Faced issues starting SSH and WiFi connections as it was not finding correct init scripts at boot. Followed blog.crysys.hu and now SSH and WiFi connections are working properly. To make it work I added interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf files into "buildroot/board/raspberrypi" folder and updated post_build.sh script in the same folder. The minimal Buildroot package on Client RPi is working. The issue created DoD and closing DoD matches. Refer to the commit 08d12f1. The issue is verified by booting and running the sdcard.img file on Raspberry Pi 3 model B. Find the screenshot here. SSH connection working verified, find the screenshot here. The issue can be closed.
