Step 1
- Download my Arch Linux Wireless Raspberry Pi image: archwipi.img.tar.gz (252MB)
- Extract it. eg: sudo tar zxf archwipi.img.tar.gz
- Write the extracted image to your SD card. eg: sudo dd if=archwipi.img of=/dev/sdb …change sdb if necessary. Don’t run this command if unsure!!!
- Optional – extend partition to use all of disk. You can use gparted.
- Plug your internet cable and new Arch WiPi SD card into your Raspberry and power it on.
- Everything is automated so after a minute or so scan for a new network SSID = archwipi
- If you don’t see the archwipi SSID, then it means you need to manually install your WiFI dongle drivers.
- The wifi password password is: 1010101010
- If you need to login to the Pi the credentials are: root | archwipi
- You can change the WiFi password to what ever you like by editing: /usr/lib/systemd/system/create_ap.service
- Check CPU speed, temperature and more using ./bcmstat.sh
- You can also view graphs of Pi stats, browse to this address 192.168.12.1:8080/archwipi (powered by Monitorix)
