Install tcpdump raspian password#
Have logged in and changed the default password for user 'pi'. Plugging in HDMI doesn't add any further load/consumption. Starting with just the following RS parts, no keyboard or mouse or screen plugged in, and waiting for it to boot, settles to 2.5W power consumption measured at the mains.ĭirectly plugging in the USB keyboard and mouse from a previous Maplin Raspberry Pi kit (R45Pi) raises consumption to 3.4W. I anticipate a fair period of prototyping and testing before (re)building the production server. I'll record below as I prototype various aspects of PPPoE networking, new HTTP/2 support, etc. So an RPi 3 Model B+ and mains and 12V power supplies and other goodies have been ordered from RS to get started.
Install tcpdump raspian upgrade#
Yet another advantage of an upgrade is moving to a newer OS distribution, allowing access to a newer Apache, HTTP/2, and various other goodies. (Currently the RPi2 has a 128GB micro SD card.) I can also take the opportunity to buy a larger SD card to boost storage, and effectively keep the old SD card as backup. Though I have to see if the base consumption of a stripped back Pi 3 B+ is still OK. Also the Pi 3 has on-board WiFi that can be used as an access point.Īnother advantage of an upgrade to the Pi 3 B+ is a bit more speed, and a bigger range of power draw to make better use of available sunshine, etc. Also, since it is talking PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) to a BT Openreach ECI Telecom ON316150 FTTC modem it doesn't need to do anything analogue, so the routing and filtering done by the Technicolor ought to be do-able by a Pi. But it consumes ~8W and crashes about once per month. As of I thought that my stand-alone Technicolor TG582n router had died, though it seemed OK again after several hours powered off.
