1. step 1: put CentOS-Userland-7 on a microSD card
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1708-RaspberryPi3.img.xz
zcat CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1708-RaspberryPi3.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb bs="4M" status="progress" iflag="fullblock" oflag="direct"
sync
![]() |
the microSD is /dev/sdb in our case, adapt if needed. |
2. step 2: preparation
ssh root@srv008e # centos
rootfs-expand
yum -y update
curl -s http://d01cid.ddns.net/sharel/bin/cid-init | sh
yum -y install i2c-tools
source /bin/cid-functions
cid_add_line /boot/config.txt "dtparam=i2c_arm=on"
echo "i2c-dev" > /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf
cid_add_line /boot/config.txt "dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf8523"
echo "i2c-dev" > /etc/modules-load.d/rtc.conf
echo "i2c-bcm2708" >> /etc/modules-load.d/rtc.conf
echo "rtc-pcf8523" >> /etc/modules-load.d/rtc.conf
reboot
i2cdetect -y 1

cid_add_line /etc/rc.local "hwclock -s"
3. step 3: the magic
yum -y install rrdtool
curl -s http://d01cid.ddns.net/sharel/tar/rmeter-1.02.tgz | tar xz -C /opt/
cube /opt/rmeter/bin/rmeter-collector "get-ads1115" with "get-adcpiplus"
/opt/rmeter/bin/rmeter-init
vi /opt/rmeter/bin/get-adcpiplus
#!/usr/bin/python
# 01feb2017: (re)initial version (ary)
from ADCPi import ADCPi
adc = ADCPi(0x6a, 0x6b, 12)
p1 = adc.read_voltage(1)
p2 = adc.read_voltage(2)
p3 = adc.read_voltage(3)
p4 = adc.read_voltage(4)
print "%.02f %.02f %.02f %.02f" % (p1, p2, p3, p4)
yum -y install gcc git python-devel i2c-tools-python
git clone https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/ABElectronics_Python_Libraries.git
cd ABElectronics_Python_Libraries/
python setup.py install
cd
vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/ss-rmeter.service

4. step 4: samba
yum -y install samba samba-client cifs-utils
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770
systemctl enable smb.service
systemctl start smb.service
5. step 5: wifi
5.1. as a dhcp client
nmcli device wifi list
===========================
Wi-Fi scan list (wlan0)
===========================
* SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

d01s Infra 13 54 Mbit/s 72 ▂▄▆_ --
nmcli device wifi connect d01b
![]() |
nmcli connection delete d01b |
5.2. as an accesspoint
rpm -q --quiet "dnsmasq" || yum -y install dnsmasq
systemctl disable dnsmasq.service
nmcli connection add type "wifi" ifname "wlan0" con-name "acp0" ssid "0000"
nmcli connection modify "acp0" 802-11-wireless.band "bg"
