====== RaspEX ======
===== Installation =====
  * Write image onto MicroSD
  * Boot, take note of MAC addresses and add to LAN DHCP/DNS accordingly
  * Run the ''resize_rootfs.sh'' script as ''root'' (its in ''/root'')
  * Change hostname (in both ''/etc/hostname'' and ''/etc/hosts'') and reboot
===== Initialization Tips & Tricks =====
==== Date/Time ====
  * Set timezone: ''dpkg-reconfigure tzdata''
  * Calibrate date/time:  ''ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org''
  * Edit ''/etc/ntp.conf'' and start NTPD with ''/etc/init.d/ntp start''
==== Migrate user(s) ====
  * Create desired login(s)<code>groupadd -g 1xx0 yourgroup
useradd -u 1xx0 -g 1xx0 -d /home/yourlogin -s /bin/bash -c "Your Name" -m yourlogin</code>
  * Add login(s) to groups (use ''id -a raspex'' to identify list of groups needed for admin login)<code>usermod -a -G list,of,group,names yourlogin
</code>
  * Add login to ''/etc/sudoers''
  * Delete default user: ''deluser raspex ; rm -rf /home/raspex''
==== Disable Auto-Login ====
Edit ''/etc/slim.conf'' and change the ''auto_login'' value to ''no'' \\
==== Details ... ====
  * Wallpaper location:  ''/usr/share/images/bunsen/wallpapers/default''
  * Disable conky:  ''apt remove --purge conky conky-all''
==== Packages ====
  * ''apt install xscreensaver''
  * ''apt install git''

====== Notes ======
===== Basic Installation =====
  * Get raspbian image (typically a ZIP from [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian]])
  * Unzip image, write to SD card:<code>dd if=raspbiandownload.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M conv=fsync</code>
  * Default login is ''pi'' with password ''raspberry''
===== misc =====
  * Change root and pi passwords
  * Enable SSH at boot, use raspi-config in the "Interfacing Options" section
  * Add user, ensure groups, and sudoers
  * Update host name in:
    * ''/etc/hostname''
    * ''/etc/hosts''
  * If necesary, resize root partition, reboot, resize fs

    *	ksh
    *	htop
    *	xterm
    *	rsync
    *	git
    *	libudev-dev
    *	libusb-1.0-0-dev
    *	libfox-1.6-dev
    *	autotools-dev
    *	autoconf
    *	automake
    *	libtool
    *	xfe (optional)

===== MythTV Front End =====
See original for complete reference: [[https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi]]
  * Configure gpu_mem=256 using ''raspi-config''
  * Configure this to be run at each boot (put in ''/etc/rc.local''):<code>echo "performance" | /usr/bin/tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor</code>
  * Disable pulseaudio
    * In ''/etc/pulse/client.conf'' set ''autospawn=no'' and ''daemon-binary=/bin/true''
  * Install MythTV Light per instructions at [[https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_Light]]
    * In ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' add a line like:<code>deb http://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/deb stretch myth28</code>
    * Add key:<code>wget -O - https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | apt-key add -</code>
    * ''apt update''
    * ''apt install mythtv-light''
    * ''apt install mythplugins-light''
===== USB Relay =====
  * Make a copy of /var to /home/sys
  * Prune /home/sys/var
  * Set up tmpfs mounts, like (pay attention to mode and size): \\ ''tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=100m 0 0''
    * /tmp, no mode, size=100M
    * /var/tmp, no mode, size=30M
    * /var/log, mode=0755, size=100M
    * /var/spool/mqueue, mode=700, gid=12, size=30M
  * Clone source for USB relay control: <code>git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git
git clone https://github.com/darrylb123/usbrelay.git</code>
  * Build HIDAPI, cd to source dir and:<code>./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-testgui
make
make install</code>

You need HIDAPI and USBRELAY: \\
<code>git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git</code>

Check out the readme, and install dependencies before installing. \\
then: <code>git clone https://github.com/darrylb123/usbrelay.git</code>

Then, in usbrelay folder: <code>gcc -o usbrelay usbrelay.c -lhidapi-libusb</code>
Then do: <code>ldconfig</code>

  * http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/
  * https://github.com/darrylb123/usbrelay

To get status: <code>./usbrelay 2>/dev/null</code> \\

To get status in bash script: \\
<code>
$ eval $(sudo ./usbrelay 2>/dev/null)
$ echo $PSUIS_2
</code>
Turn on: <code>/usbrelay EO5ZA_1=1</code>
Turn off: <code>/usbrelay EO5ZA_1=0</code>
