First steps
Software
Unipi Neuron is based on a Raspberry Pi with OS Linux (Debian) support, which runs from a microSD card. Unipi provides
several OS images for download that differ with pre-installed applications (e.g. Mervis OS, Node-RED OS, OpenSource OS).
After downloading, the OS image is installed on the microSD card. The default image is Mervis OS containing Mervis RT and
all necessary files for the unit to operate. Alternatively, you can use one of the pre-assembled images available on the
Knowledge Base (https://kb.unipi.technology).
Mervis OS image: contains officially supported application solutions for technology management and monitoring, including
optional online cloud services.
NOTE
SSH access is disabled by default. It can be activated by creating a file named "ssh.txt" (or without the .txt extension) and
placing it in the boot partition of the microSD card, or by setting and uploading the configuration in the Mervis IDE. The default
login information for SSH access is username: "unipi", password: "unipi.technology". We strongly recommend changing the
login credentials immediately after SSH activation. For more detailed information, please visit https://kb.unipi.technology.
Alternative pre-assembled images:
You can find the current offer of pre-assembled images at https://kb.unipi.technology.
First start of the unit
1.
Download the image of your choice and upload it to a microSD card using a suitable tool.
2.
Insert a microSD card with flash OS image into controllers memory card slot.
3.
Connect the Neuron unit to the local network using Ethernet cable.
4.
Connect a power supply that meets the requirements listed on the product.
5.
You can start programming!
CAUTION
Handle the microSD card ONLY when the controller is disconnected from the power supply!
Pay close attention when choosing a microSD card for your Unipi Neuron unit. The lifespan of microSD cards available on the
market varies considerably depending on the technology used. In terms of durability, we recommend using microSD cards
of the SLC type. Help with choosing the right microSD card technology for your application is available in the Knowledge Base
(https://kb.unipi.technology). Supported microSD cards can also be found in the Unipi e-shop.
