Raspberry Pi setup


1 — Download the iso file
You can download the iso from the following link. Currently (Oct 2019) there are 3 versions available.

Download Raspbian for Raspberry Pi

Raspbian is the Foundation's official supported operating system. You can install it with NOOBS or download the image…

www.raspberrypi.org

Depending on the size of microSD card, and your requirements, pick the corresponding iso and download it.

2 — Burn the image into the microSD card
For Mac users
(I have downloaded into Downloads folder)
Check the drives before inserting the microSD card using the following command
df -h
Now check the drives after inserting the microSD. You will see an additional drive. (Example: /dev/disk3. here the disk-number is 3)
Unmount the microSD card. You can go to disk utility tool and click on corresponding external drive and click on unmount

Click on Unmount on Disk Utility
Now burn the ios using the following command
sudo dd bs=1m if=your-image-file-name.img of=/dev/rdisk[disk-number] conv=sync
replace the bold text in above command with corresponding one. Mine looks as below:
sudo dd bs=1m if=2019–09–26-raspbian-buster-lite.img of=/dev/rdisk3 conv=sync
It might take a couple of minutes. Use rdisk instead of disk to run the command quiker.
To check status, you can press Cntl + T and, you can see output similar to

Cntl + T while running ‘dd’ command on mac os
On Ubuntu, you can try the following to burn the iso
sudo dd if=your-image-file-name.img of=/dev/disk[disk-number] bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
For instance, after replacing the bold text with corresponding values, it might look like below
sudo dd if=2019–07–10-raspbian-buster-full.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
3 — Few things to do when you first setup the raspberry pi
A. Change default password
B. Change timezone
C. Enable ssh
D. Create keys for password-less login

Pentaho ETL

Pentaho  Here, I am trying to write down my finding in Pentaho (Spoon). So that, I can quickly look back if I need to. This is more like a personal note and as of now, I am not sure if this could be of any help to others. 07 Feb 2014 ERROR HANDLING How to enable it? You can right click on the steps and you can see an option called Error Handling. Note: Not all the steps have this option. Error handling is disabled for Table input step, stream look-up step etc.. How to define the field names? You can give the names you are interested in for the predefined fields of error handling. So, these fields will be added to the fields flowing in your current stream Currently, for the Pentaho 5.0, we are having a bug for ERROR_COUNT field, which is getting type as Long instead of Integer for some of the rows. So, as a temporary fix, we have used javascript to handle this public boolean processRow(StepMetaInterface smi, StepDataIn...

Copy files from one computer to other using ‘scp’ command

Image
copy files between computers using scp cmd scp file.txt remote_username@10.10.0.2:/remote/directory From the computer which has the source file, go to the command line and, provide the path of the source file followed by scp and then, username@hostname of the remote computer and then, the path where you want it to be copied on remote computer. Another example: Default port number is 22. So we generally use -P in case we have to explicitly specify any port other than 22 like below scp -P 2000 Downloads/simple2.html pi@raspberrypi.local:~/learning/python/webscraping Copy local directory to remote computer scp -r localDirectory user@remotecomp:/path-to-destination Working example: scp -r capturing-images pi@raspberrypi.local:/home/pi/Downloads Copy from Pi to your Mac scp user@remote:path-to-file . Dot at the end means to copy to the current directory of the mac Working examples: (Run from Mac terminal) a) Copy img1.jpeg file from remote to...
