Mastering IOT

By: Colin Dow, Perry Lea

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. We’ll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We’ll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We’ll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We’ll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure. By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: Internet of Things Programming Projects by Colin Dow Internet of Things for Architects by Perry Lea

Chapter 10. Installing Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is marketed as a small and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming. At least that was its initial goal. As we will see in this book, it is much more than that.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • A brief history of the Raspberry Pi
  • A look at operating systems for the Raspberry Pi
  • Installing the Raspbian OS
  • A quick overview of the Raspbian OS
