install/update applications

opkg update
opkg upgrade vr-setup-gpio
[IF M6E] opkg upgrade vrfrv2-linux

setup ntp

opkg install ntpdate

scp venture@10.19.6.1:~/remote-prod.pub /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

disable printk messages from on console

vi /etc/rcS.d/S55bootmisc.sh

append at the end of file, before exit 0

# disable printk to console
echo "4 4 1 7" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

load modules for the new kernel

opkg update
opkg list | grep kernel-module | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | xargs opkg install
depmod
sync
sync

setup monit

vi /etc/monitrc

• look up

## Check that a process is running, in this case Apache, and that it respond
## to HTTP and HTTPS requests. Check its resource usage such as cpu and memory,
## and number of children. If the process is not running, Monit will restart
## it by default. In case the service is restarted very often and the
## problem remains, it is possible to disable monitoring using the TIMEOUT
## statement. This service depends on another service (apache_bin) which
## is defined above.
#

• append the following

check process forkliftreader_linux with pidfile /var/run/forkliftreader_linux.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/rfid start" with timeout 60 seconds
stop program = "/etc/init.d/rfid stop"

setup vpn

ssh venture@vm-linux-prod "sudo ./openvpn-genclientkey.sh hostname" 

wget http://ipk.ventureresearch.com/openvpn/`hostname`.tar.gz -O -| tar xzvC /etc/openvpn
update-rc.d openvpn defaults

setup sd card

vi /etc/fstab

append the following

/dev/mmcblk0p1       /media/mmcblk0p1          auto       defaults,sync  0  0

create directory

mkdir /media/mmcblk0p1

setup rfid port

vi /etc/init.d/rfid

• [if M5E] change "-c 3" to "-c /dev/ttyO0"
• [if M6E] change "-c 3" to ""

setup gps serial port

vi /etc/default/gpsd
GPSD_OPTIONS="-n -b"
[if using internal UART] GPS_DEVICES="/dev/ttyO1"
[if using USB-to-TTL] GPS_DEVICES="/dev/ttyGPS"

• gps script

scp venture@10.19.6.1:~/rehrigpacific/watch-gps.sh /home/user/
chmod +x /home/user/watch-gps.sh
crontab -e

* * * * * /home/user/watch-gps.sh

• copy the udev rule for GPS

[if using USB-to-TTL] scp venture@10.19.6.1:~/rehrigpacific/10-usb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

setup gsm USB760

• Do this part ONLY if there is a TTL-USB conv for GPS and an extra serial port for Zonar
• get the id of the gsm modem

ls /dev/serial/by-id/

example:

usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc._Novatel_Wireless_CDMA_091163117961000-if00-port0

• copy over the new vr-wan file

scp venture@10.19.6.1:~/rehrigpacific/vr-wan /usr/sbin/

• edit the new vr-wan file and change the GSM id to match the device's unique id
• modify the modem in the verizon ppp file

vi /etc/ppp/peers/verizon

• change ttyUSB0 to "serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc._Novatel_Wireless_CDMA_091155881991000-if00-port0" where the gsm id should be the device's unique id

backup important directories [if needed]

(on vm-linux-prod: nc -l -p 1234 > backup.tar.gz)

tar cz /etc /home /root /media /var | nc 10.19.6.1 1234

set the zonar parameters:

SET ZONARENABLED ENABLED
SET ZONARCONN /dev/ttyO1

TESTING

• DB-TESTING

sqlite3 reader.db
select * from event order by id desc limit 5;
select count(*) from event where isDelivered="false";

• resend tags

log on to vm-linux-prod and go to the appropriate backup directory

cd ~/logs-vr-00a7d1/2012-08

modify permissions

chmod 777 .

unzip the backup file

gzip -dc reader-backup_20120831T180001.db.gz > reader-backup_20120831T180001.db

send the backup db file to lab-ubuntu for delivery

scp reader-backup_20120831T180001.db venture@lab-ubuntu:/home/user

open the db

sqlite3 reader.db

reset the delivery flag

update event set isdelivered="false";

rename the delivery file to reader.db

start the forkliftreader_linux

verify the Success message
