| - | ===== BioStar 2 on Raspberry Pi ===== | ||
| - | <callout type="warning" icon="true"> | ||
| - | This function was tested with the earliest version of BioStar 2. This is no longer supported with recent versions of Biostar 2. | ||
| - | </callout> | ||
| - | |||
| - | BioStar 2 is an access control management platform with specialty in biometrics. You can get more detailed information from the following link: | ||
| - | https://www.supremainc.com/en/SecurityPlatform/BioStar_2 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Today I will show you how you can embed BioStar 2 into a Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | |||
| - | First of all, I will briefly cover how to install Raspbian, Raspberry Foundataion’s official supported operating system based on Linux, for those who are not familiar with Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | You can download the latest version of Raspbian from the Raspberry official website (www.raspberrypi.org). | ||
| - | Go to Downloads > Raspbian and you will find the latest version of Raspbian (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian) | ||

| - | |||
| - | If you extract the zip file, you will have an image file as shown below: | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r2.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | You need to write the image file to the SD card. If you’re using a Windows based PC, you can download an image writing tool (Win32 Disk Imager) from the following URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r3.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | After downloading the file, you need to install the image writing tool. After the installation, run Win32 Disk Imager. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r4.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r5.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the example above, a SD card is mounted on Drive F. Select the image file you downloaded from the Raspberry Pi website, and then click Write. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r6.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r7.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r8.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | After writing the image file to the SD card, open the file explorer and go to drive F. You will find that there are dozens of files on the card. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r9.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now that you have successfully installed the operating system onto the SD card, it’s time to copy BioStar 2 to the SD card. Copy and paste the file to the root directory of the SD card. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r10.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r11.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | After copying the file, insert the SD card into your Raspberry Pi and boot it up. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r12.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now your Raspberry Pi is booting up. After the initial boot-up, Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool will show up. You can ignore the settings and choose Finish. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r13.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r14.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r15.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | A zip file for BioStar 2 is located in the Boot directory. Type “cd /boot” and press Enter. Then, type “sudo mv biostar_Raspberry.tar.gz /usr” to move the zip file to the usr directory. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r16.jpg?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | Type “sudo mkdir /usr/local/biostar” to create a folder for BioStar 2. Then, extract the zip file into the folder by typing “sudo tar –C /usr/local/biostar –xvf /usr/biostar_Raspberry.tar.gz”. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r17.jpg?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Now we’re ready to run BioStar 2. Before running BioStar 2 server, we need to run the nginx web server. | ||
| - | Type “sudo /usr/local/biostar/nginx/nginx –c /usr/local/biostar/nginx/conf/nginx.conf –p /usr/local/biostar/nginx”. | ||
| - | Type “sudo /usr/local/biostar/biostar-server” to run BioStar 2 server. | ||
| - | If you don’t have any trouble running BioStar 2 server, now we’re ready to connect to the BioStar 2 server we’ve just installed on the Raspberry Pi. | ||
| - | Open your web browser and type the IP address of the Raspberry Pi and press Enter. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r18.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{:en:r19.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Now you can add Suprema devices to the BioStar 2 server and use your Raspberry Pi as a lightweight embedded BioStar appliance. | ||
| - | Being able to install BioStar 2 server on a Raspberry Pi demonstrates how light and optimized our BioStar 2 server is and shows possibilities that BioStar 2 server can be embedded into any hardware like NVR, NAS and so on. | ||
