Edgeberry banner

The Edgeberry Hardware project is a Raspberry Pi compatible 'hat' providing several basics for easily using your Raspberry Pi as an IoT Edge device and deploying it in a real-world environment. Some key features are a powerful 3A step-down convertor for powering your device reliably using a regular 12V adaptor, indicators for providing status feedback, and an expansion slot for integrating application-specific hardware using an Edgeberry Hardware Cartridge. The Edgeberry Hardware is designed to snugly fit in the Edgeberry Enclosure.


Device Assembly

After acquiring (or milling and soldering) the Edgeberry Hardware, and 3D printing the Edgeberry enclosure, you're ready to assemble your device.

Edgeberry Device Software

For using your Edgeberry hardware with the Edgeberry ecosystem (e.g. the Edgeberry Dashboard), you'll need to install the Edgeberry Device Software. Follow these installation steps. If you have different plans with this board, this software is not required for correct operation of any of its hardware components.

(re)Writing the EEPROM

Important

When you purchased the Edgeberry Hardware, the manufacturer has written the EEPROM. If you are the manufacturer, or you're hacking your Edgeberry board, then continue with the following steps.

  1. Close the write protection jumper (JP1) on the Edgeberry Hardware to enable writing the EEPROM
  2. Download and build the Raspberry Pi Hat eeprom utils on your device
  3. Make the EEPROM file from the eeprom_settings.txt using eepmake
    e.g. $ ./eepmake eeprom_settings.txt edgeberry.eep
  4. Flash the EEPROM using eepflash.sh
    e.g. $ sudo ./eepflash -w -t=24c256 -f=edgeberry.eep
  5. Now reboot the device and check the device tree for your hat's settings
    e.g. $ cat /proc/device-tree/hat/vendor)
