Getting Started with the HDK

Things you will need

  1. The HDK
  2. A Wifi Pineapple
  3. A Soldering iron
  4. A programmer (an arduino is fine)
  5. (optionally) a USB to serial converter.

The HDK as it arrives

Set up of the HDK in the Pineapple

The HDK talks to the Wifi pineapple via a bit-banged SPI interface, using on board gpios. These are not enabled by default. In order to enable the interface, type:

/sbin/insmod spi-gpio-custom bus0=1,18,20,19,0,125000,21

Once this command has been run, a new device /dev/spidev1.0 will be created.
