Dietpi is a lightweight SOPINE/A64-LTS image using Armbian as pre-image (Debian based). Carrying a large array of options, Dietpi includes SBC hardware configurations available inside ncurses menu interface (ssh/terminal accessible). In addition to it being a full on Debian based Linux system, a variety of servers and services can be added on demand.
'''Dietpi Commands:'''
dietpi-launcher: access all dietpi tools/menus
dietpi-software: select from numerous optimized servers/services to install
dietpi-config: feature rich configuration tool
dietpi-autostart: choose software to run after boot
dietpi-update: update/upgrade system
The entire list of software available for installation (inside dietpi-software) can be found here: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/
'''Steps To Enable spidev0.0 (rakwireless concentrator/GPS device):'''
As Dietpi strips down the system to a minimum level (deleting original Armbian commands), we can either install armbian-config command by issuing:
sudo apt install armbian-config
Inside armbian-config -> system -> Bootenv (edit boot environment), enter the following 2 lines (to create spidev0.0):
overlays=spi-spidev uart2 i2c0
param_spidev_spi_bus=0
Or, instead of installing the above armbian-config, hand edit: /boot/armbianEnv.txt to add the above overlays/param_spidev_spi_bus lines.
Save. Reboot.
After rebooting you should see a new device /dev/spidev0.0. This will be the concentrator device for gateway related setup.
GPS will be /dev/ttyS2 and should work (after editing armbianEnv.txt + reboot).
