How To Deal With Your Raspberry Spy

Description

We don’t want to be spied on; what happens when we’re faced with an operating system that spies on people? We throw it in the trash where it belongs! I am boycotting the Raspberry Spy myself (you’re free to join me in doing so) but I don’t want people to waste hardware that they already have. So we’re going to walk through an interesting path of installing a dif- ferent operating system on the Raspberry Spy; I want to show you a few things that will empower you to take greater con- trol over your computing. We’ll gently walk through and explore the following: how to install an operating system on an embedded device (a Rasp- berry Spy, in this case) over a USB-to-UART bridge (UTUB). This is the main project we’ve got on our hands. Don’t worry if you’ve never touched embedded systems before; everything here is accessible to people with a modest set of prerequi- site knowledge and some basic apparatus. We’ll delve into things with more depth as we move for- ward with our project; if you don’t understand something when you first encounter it, just keep reading.
