Foxberry Pi Demo

This page describes how to install Firefox OS alongside a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, without disturbing the main Raspbian installation. The Firefox-OS-on-Raspberry-Pi project is known by the codename "Foxberry Pi".

WARNING: for the time being, this demo software is just that, literally demoware. It has no long-term support plan or API compatibility guarantees, and may eat your homework. This demo is mostly intended for developers who are prepared to deal with bleeding-edge software.

Prerequisites

You need a Raspberry Pi, of course. Models B and B+ should work equally well. This guide assumes your Raspberry Pi (here after RPi) is running a recent Raspbian OS. Other distributions will probably work, but haven't been tested.

Install WebIOPi on your RPi. Be sure to test that WebIOPi is working correctly before proceeding.

This guide assumes your RPi is connected to the host machine via Ethernet. A connection through a wifi dongle or USB networking (or ...) should work fine, but hasn't been tested.

It's strongly recommended that you install sshfs on your host machine. On Fedora,

sudo yum install fuse-sshfs

Or on Ubuntu,

 sudo apt-get install sshfs
