Getting Started

• Clone the repo
• Add a .env file containing:

MIX_TARGET=rpi0
MIX_ENV=prod
WPA_SSID=yourwifissid
WPA_PSK=yourwifipassword

Make sure to update these example values to values relevant to your use case. If you don't intend to use wifi, you can exclude the last two lines.

• Run docker-compose up -d
• Enter the container with docker-compose exec nerves bash
• Create your project with mix nerves.new project_name_here
• Move the contents of the newly created project up one directory level with mv project_name_here/* ./ and mv project_name_here/.* ./
• If you want to use the vintage_net_wifi with the project add this to /firmware/config/target.exs:

config :vintage_net,
  regulatory_domain: "US",
  config: [
    {"wlan0",
     %{
       ipv4: %{method: :dhcp},
       type: VintageNetWiFi,
       vintage_net_wifi: %{
         networks: [
           %{
             key_mgmt: :wpa_psk,
             psk: System.get_env("WPA_PSK"),
             ssid: System.get_env("WPA_SSID")
           }
         ]
       }
     }}
  ]

• Exit the docker container and burn the project contents with sh ./burn.sh
• If you want to perform over the air updates, make sure to include the IP address of the device on the last line of update.sh
• Once the device is running on your wifi network, you can update it over the air with sh ./update.sh
