12.2016 Update:
Due to the new debian images and new openhab versions, some users had problems with the whole procedure:
The main changes are:
- After SD creation, the BB takes some minutes for the first boot. Wait until you can see the browser page (see router for DHCP assigned IP Address).
- At the first ssh login cahnge the password for both root and debian users
- The partition (there is only one, mmcblk0) is 3.3GB. Using the fdisk default options you screw things up because the starting point is 8192.
- Use resize2fs only after rebooting.
- Install java (now is oracle-java9-install)
- Install openhab
- Make another account at myopenhab.org
I will make another post with the new versions for all this stuff if needed.
OpenHAB setup on a Debian powered BeagleBone (white)
OpenHAB is simply great!
Create the microSD:
http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/
http://beagleboard.org/project/debian/
Resize the partition (the image is with a 1.6GB, I use a 8GB microSD):
[code lang=”C”]
fdisk -l
# show partitions
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
# delete the 1.6G partition (p2)
# and create a new one from the same starting point to the end of the disk
shutdown -r
resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
# you may now reboot for verification purposes
[/code]
Then you should update and upgrade. I prefer apt-get but aptitude is available.
Next step: make things confortable – mc and configure it with internal viewer and editor (mcedit), nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf , install ntpd, samba, telnet…. change the hostname in /etc/hostname
Install Java packages:
[code lang=”C”]
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
# adds a java deb repo
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
# adds a java deb-src repo
apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys EEA14886
# install the key
apt-get update
# reads the repo and updates the local db
apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
# installs the java7.
# it also brings up a License Agreement
[/code]
Now the fun part!
OpenHAB has a deb repo! I tried hard with the basic .zip files, but with the repo all is faster and better.
Repo address: http://repository-openhab.forge.cloudbees.com/release/1.5.0/apt-repo/
http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
or
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab.list
