PineDio?

For those unaware, PineDio is a mesh radio hardware project from Pine64 (makers of Pinephone (Linux phone)).

Pine - Dio, is derived from combining Pine64 and Radio.

Unique from traditional telecommunications, this qualifies as "off-grid" capable. Meaning you can manage everything without relying on ISP or cellular provider (or, optionally join TheThingsNetwork, if you like).

This image carries new editions, important to setup. Such as the setting your timezone, and creation of new SSH keys on the first boot (only). This ensures unique ssh keys for each PineDio gateway, avoiding any possible key/fingerprint conflict problems when more than one PineDio exists on the same LAN network.

Another addition in this updated image is an update to a more recent Chirpstack Application Server.

There is a forced changing for the default password to ensure default SSH logins are not retained.

As in the previous, automatic disk resize occurs to meet the size of your sdcard/disk.

All occurring on firstboot (and where selection is needed, first login).

PineDio Gateway, outside the casing (Pine64 A64 LTS, RAKwireless Concentrator/GPS)


FEATURES:

  • Updated Chirpstack preinstalled (setup your own LoRaWAN)

  • New SSH Key configuration on first boot (to make unique between each flashed copy)

  • Efficient Debian Linux (Armbian base)

  • TheThingsNetwork software preinstalled/ready (completely optional - otherwise try Chirpstack for your own LoRaWAN!)

  • GPS/LoRa Concentrator hat: enabled/started (RAK2287 + GPS)

  • Timezone configuration

  • Forced change on first login for SSH password (to prevent default password retain)

  • New 'pinedio' ascii art welcome message seen upon login (see video)

Above we see the fully assembled PineDio Gateway.

If you wish to take advantage of more secure checksum sourcing, open Tor Browser to see the checksums file for the latest download .img, HERE.
