Building instruction

To run the Impinj Builder server on an Ubuntu 20 machine, a script named setup.sh is given to handle dependencies installation, building and setting up the server to start at boot. All you need to do is:

1. Make sure to run all commands below with root privilege, sudo su is recommended.
2. Install git and clone this repository.
3. Run the setup script sudo ./setup.sh.

The setup.sh script adds the ImpinjBuilder file as a Sysv Init script, which is translated to a systemd init service. So you can start or stop both the server and the web interface by systemctl start ImpinjBuilder and systemctl stop ImpinjBuilder.

Access the server at: http://{hostname}

Troubleshooting

1. To check if the server and web interface are running.
   • systemctl status ImpinjBuilder

   Make sure that the service is actively running, and that both /root/ImpinjBuilder/server/server and http-server are present under CGroup. If not try restarting the service by systemctl restart ImpinjBuilder.

2. The logs of the server and web interface is located at /root/ImpinjBuilder/server.log and /root/ImpinjBuilder/UI.log. The server log is usually more helpful.
3. If the UPGX file generated could not be installed throught the Impinj Web Interface. Check if the following are compatible:
   • the firmware version of the Impinj device. (run in Impinj RShell: show image summary)
   • and the version of the Embedded Development Tools. (In this repo: R420/VERSION and /R700/VERSION)
