Installing a VM with all software and tools

This is a "quick" way to set experiments using the parts documented below:

  • install a system in a VM,
  • then run the scripts/makefiles that automatically install/download for you.

More details here:

  1. Get Ubuntu 14.04 32 bits in a VM (VirtualBox, vmware, ...)

  2. In the newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 in a VM: sudo apt-get install git

  3. Automatically update the system with proper packages

git clone https://github.com/adjih/exp-iotlab.git
cd exp-iotlab/tools/system && sudo ./update-schroot-dist.sh really-update extra
  1. Automatically get and compile necessary packages and code from repositories
make all-exp-deps USE_DEMO_REPO=yes

(if you plan to do experiments with only one of RIOT, OpenWSN or Contiki: you can use riot-rpl-exp-deps, openwsn-exp-deps or contiki-rpl-exp-deps instead of all-exp-deps to compile a subset). The option USE_DEMO_REPO will use in some case(s), fork(s) of repositories with minor modifications, instead of main repositories.

  1. Configure properly your ssh access to IoT-LAB sites. Generate/use a ssh key documented in ssh IoT-LAB tutorial

Then, ensure that you have something like this in your .ssh/config:

# Configuration
Host *.iot-lab.info
User <YOUR_IOTLAB_USER_NAME>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa 
#            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the key that you have given for IoT-LAB registration
  1. Use auth-cli to store your IoT-LAB password:
cd exp-iotlab
make ensure-auth-info IOTLAB_USER=<YOUR_IOTLAB_USER_NAME>

(this just runs ./iotlab/parts/cli-tools/auth-cli -u <IoT-LAB username>)

  1. You might wish to configure sudo without password. Type:
sudo visudo

and at the end of the file, add:

<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

and save. <username> is your user name

  1. Start an experiment as described in the other sections

(Alternatively to a VM, you can use a schroot system instead of a VM, but it is a little more complicated). More unfinished info on README-more.md.
