Introduction

This guide documents the manual setup of skywire on base armbian (or raspbian) images running on a DIY or official skyminer.

Procedure

• 1) Download or torrent the latest supported image for your board and extract it from the archive
  • orange pi prime
  • orange pi 3
  • rpi 64-bit
  • rpi 32-bit
• 2) Use balena etcher or the dd command on linux to write the image to a microSD card ex.:
  • list block devices: lsblk
  • flash the image to the desired disk: sudo dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/sdX
• 3) Insert the card into the board which you designate as hypervisor, and power on that board.
• 4) Determine the IP address of the board. (Check DHCP clients in your router's web interface -> http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1)
• 5) Reach the board via SSH ex.:
  • ssh root@192.168.0.2
• 6) You will be prompted to set a new root password and create a user. It is not required to create a user (ctrl+C to cancel)
• 7) echo "term=LINUX" >> ~/.bashrc
• 8) Follow steps 1-4 (and optionally step 6) of the package installation guide
• 9) It is recommended to update the board at this point:
  • apt update && apt upgrade
• 10) Repeat steps 2-9 of this guide on the next board of the same type
• 11) Follow step 5 of the package installation guide to configure the remote hypervisor on every visor
