Writing actsim to a micro SD card #

Burn the image on a micro SD card after decompressing the provided image file actsim.img.bz2 in a suitable way. See Installing operating system images for information about burning images on micro SD cards.

Booting actsim #

The Raspberry Pi with our image must be reachable via a network from your working computer. Please do the necessary configurations for your wired or wireless network.

When you use wireless LAN, it is convenient to mount the micro SD card (where the user burned the image) and prepare /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf file. See document of Raspberry Pi for more details.

Accessing to Actsim #

The configuration of username, password, and hostname in the provided image are the same as the Raspbian image (pi, raspberry, and raspberrypi) available in the official Raspberry Pi page. It is strongly recommended to change the hostname and the password at the time of initialization.

Without these modifications, multiple Raspberry Pis may have the same hostname, which is troublesome. With name resolution of mDNS, you may access the wrong Raspberry Pi.

Changing the password is MANDATORY to avoid illegal access by malware that targets insecure Raspberry Pis.

Proxy setup #

To configure proxy, set http_proxy/https_proxy environment variables into /etc/actsim/env and reboot Raspberry Pi.
