WiFi Conifguration Notes

The Wireless Module, AP-8764 has it's source code for the driver released under GPLv2 license (see above). The localation of the configuration tools man pages or detailed docs specific to the AP-8764 are proprietary and only available through the tools vendors. Because the tools are GPLv2, the sources for the tools should be published somewhere.

Here are some basic notes in GIST form to cover WPA2 configuration: https://gist.github.com/truedat101/6646367

General Arch Linux Arm details on SMILE Plug release (NOTE, this is not current, as the Arch Linux ARM team has not yet officially posted a support link for this device yet):

General Config

Standard root password: root // XXX CHANGE ME
.bashrc in /root is used
set default root PATH to include ~/root/bin

Assigned Ports

Additional Software:

virtualenv goenv
. ./goenv/bin/activate
A sample project for NIDE to use: https://github.com/jed/browserver-node/archive/master.tar.gz (put into spdist, needs its package depends included)

Users & Groups:

Default Root and SUDO configuration, see: http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/system/first-steps
No other non-default users

Added for testing:

ntop
afps-fs (may consider adding this to above list)

Some manual commands to run in the configuration of a new BSP based on arch:

For UFW, open all connections from the associated networks for the administrative network 10.0.0.0 and the default WIFI AP network 10.1.0.0
This generates the /usr/lib/ufw/user.conf commands used to store the rules

ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 ufw allow from 10.1.0.0/24
setup the timezone for America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
Configure time:

ntpd -qg (Need to set up NTP at this point or else openssl won't work properly ) hwclock -w

Arch Linux ARM Tips

Until we complete the migration to the mainline Arch Linux ARM community release (and more modern kernel), it is not recommended to attempt to run a complete upgrade
If you need to install packages from AUR, you minimally will want to run as root: pacman -Sy

Roadmap

0.6.0 - Complete migration to mainlain Arch Linux ARM distro
