Dependencies

To complete the entire tutorial, you need a workstation computer (Linux, macOS, or Windows) and a Linux microPlatform device.

The Linux microPlatform is portable, and builds for several boards are available. To get started easily, we recommend:

Linux microPlatform:

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

• SD card compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 (see this Embedded Linux wiki guide for examples)

• Ethernet cable (or you can use WiFi)

• 3.3 volt USB to TTL Serial Cable, such as this SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3V (optional, only needed if connecting via WiFi)
