Tool support

ulnoiot includes a lot of small scripts to simplify a plethora of tasks supporting the deployment of a small IoT system or MQTT-based IoT environment. Among them are the following (most of these scripts are available after starting the ulnoiot command or executing run in the main ulnoiot directory):

  • run/ulnoiot: enter or run a command in the ulnoiot-environment (setting system variables and virtual python environments). To run a command, prefix it by the exec keyword, i.e.: ulnoiot exec accesspoint
  • ulnoiot shell: Bundling most of the frequently used ulnoiot tools under one convenient text based menu. Just try it out, but still look at the description below.
  • accesspoint: start an accesspoint on a free WiFi interface (this is done by default on the ulnoiot Raspberry Pi image).
  • ulnoiot upgrade: get latest version of ulnoiot (inside an existing version)
  • ulnoiot install: (re-)install the ulnoiot environment (if you specify clean, it re-installs)
  • console_serial: open a serial console to see debug output of a serially (locally) connected node
  • initialize: initialize a current node which is in reconfiguration mode or flashes a serially connected node and sets all initial configuration parameters like WiFi credentials and security keys
  • deploy: updates software of a ulnoiot node after changes. The update is done over the network (OTA)
