On mac use ``brew install pv`` to install. If you do not want it, you may leve it out,
|

it is a matter of convenience. In this case omit ``| pv `` in the commands

## install image by means of the USB stick BOOT_TINY
|
||||
|
||||
The stick has TinyLinux on it and some additional scripts
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have one, you may create it logging to an other box as root
|
||||
If you do not have one, you may create it from another box
|
||||
|
||||
### a) create a USB stick with TinyLinux (omit if you have the stick already)
|
||||
|
||||
to verify that /dev/sdb is your stick, use the following command before and after plugging the stick
|
||||
log in as root/FrappyLinse to an apu box
|
||||
```
|
||||
apu> cd aputools
|
||||
apu> bash mkusb.sh
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
You are asked to give the device name from a list (typically sdb)
|
||||
before it writes to the stick.
|
||||
|
||||
### b) mount with TinyLinux from USB stick
|
||||
|
||||
### b) boot with TinyLinux from USB stick
|
||||
|
||||
Connect a Mac with an USB to serial adapter (and null-modem!).
|
||||
```
|
||||
mac> screen /dev/tty.usbserial-130 115200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Do not yet connect LAN, plug USB stick and start the box, wait for prompt 'tc@box:'
|
||||
Do not yet conenct to LAN, if the box is not yet registered to PacketFence.
|
||||
Plug USB stick and start the box, wait for prompt 'tc@box:' and cd into BOOT_TINY
|
||||
```
|
||||
apu> cd /media/BOOT_TINY (or /media/CENTOS_APU)
|
||||
apu> sh reg
|
||||
cd /media/BOOT_TINY
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
enter new hostname (HWaddr will be on the output)
|
||||
register to PacketFence (if not yet done) and set role to sinq-samenv
|
||||
connect LAN to rightmost socket on a bare APU or the leftmost socket an a control box
|
||||
### c) Determine address/name for registering in PacketFence
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sh reg
|
||||
```
|
||||
enter new hostname (HWaddr will be on the output)
|
||||
register to PacketFence and set role to sinq-samenv
|
||||
connect LAN to rightmost socket on a bare APU or the leftmost socket on a control box
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
which image?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the displayed ip address for the following step.

* It will take around 10 mins to write the image.
|
||||
* remove the stick, power off/on (or do `sudo reboot now`)
