  1. REMOVE any other USB memory devices from your computer.
  2. Determine the device for the card reader
    1. /dev/mmcblk0 for the built in reader on my laptop.
    2. /dev/sdb for a USB card reader
  3. Copy the image to the SD card:

dd bs=4M if=hivetool073.img of=/dev/sdb

Windows

raspberrypi.org recommends using: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Detailed instructions: http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Flashing_the_SD_Card_using_Windows

  1. REMOVE any other USB memory devices from your computer.
  2. Plug micro SD Card in adapter, confirm device letter using Windows Explorer.
  3. Start Win32DiskImager
  4. Browse to source file (image in downloads directory)
  5. Make absolutely sure the drive letter (destination) to right of source file is the SD card
  6. Check MD5 hash (0c1f26195db2f1a158bd88e95448fedb) this takes a few minutes
  7. Click on Write, this takes a few more minutes
  8. Confirm successful write then exit
  9. The SD card image is called "boot" 25 files now visible in Windows explorer
  10. Windows will report 40 megabytes free space on the SD card

You are now ready to eject micro SD card and place into the Pi

Setup Pi Operating System

  1. Install micro SD card into bare Pi, power up with Ethernet or for (non windows use local terminal)
  2. If using Ethernet determine IP address by viewing latest entry in access point
  3. Identify IP in the DHCP table named "raspberrypi"

Windows

  1. On a Windows PC setup a new remote desktop connection (RDP), enter target IP address of Pi
  2. If the Pi is found you will be prompted to enter the default user "pi" and password "raspberry"
  3. Leave the default module as "sesmon-Xvnc"
  4. Once connected you will see the Pi desktop, Menu to "preferences"sub "raspberry pi configuration"
  5. Under menu "system tab" "expand file system", then OK then reboot from main menu last item
  6. Reestablish remote desktop connection using saved RDP Windows settings, login to desktop
  7. Under menu "localisation" tab set your timezone Local, Language preferences
  8. Under menu "system tab", Change default Password and the Hostname to match a hive name to be monitored, Ok to save & reboot
  9. Under menu "system tab" the remaining settings should be default unless a Pi camera is attached
  10. Open a Terminal Window, at command prompt run; "sudo apt-get update", also "sudo apt-get upgrade" to get latest patches
  11. Plug in WiFi dongle, configure WiFi authentication on desktop, top RH corner, dual monitors icon
  12. If WiFi connects, a signal strength indicator will replace the monitors icon, it will be necessary to enter the security key

You are now ready to configure Hivetool. http://hivetool.org/w/index.php?title=Configure_Hivetool
