PowerBlock-Emteria

The PowerBlock is an extension board for the Raspberry Pi. Its key features include a safe power button functionality and LED status indication.

This repository contains the installer for the PowerBlock driver for Emteria, an Android distribution.

PowerBlock attached to Raspberry Pi

Pre-Requisites for Driver Installation

  1. Android SDK Platform Tools: Download the tools from here.

  2. Set ADB_TOOL: Open the installDriver.bat file and set the ADB_TOOL variable to the correct path of your ADB installation.

  3. Set IP_OF_DEVICE: In the installDriver.bat file, set the IP_OF_DEVICE variable to the correct IP address of your device.

  4. Enable ADB over Ethernet: In your Emteria installation, open 'Settings' > 'Emteria' and activate 'Enable ADB over Ethernet'.

Installation Instructions

  1. Complete Pre-Requisites: Ensure you have completed all the steps in the "Pre-Requisites for Driver Installation" section.

  2. Connect PowerBlock: We recommend attaching the PowerBlock and switch to the Raspberry Pi during driver installation. Also, connect USB power to the PowerBlock. The driver installation should still work without the PowerBlock being attached, though.

  3. Run installDriver.bat: Execute the batch file installDriver.bat from the Windows command line.

  4. Verify Installation: Once the installation is finished, your Emteria device will reboot. The PowerBlock status LED should indicate it is working by showing a continuous signal.

  5. Use the PowerBlock: You can now start and shut down your Emteria device using the PowerBlock.

Good luck with your project!
