  1. unplug anything attached to the USB on the RPi
  2. Put in SD card into Raspberry and power it on
  3. Onboard our RPi into eden so that we can control it remotely
    On the terminal window of your computer, type:

    ./eden eve onboard

  4. Deploy the nginx server, as a test

    ./eden pod deploy -p 8028:80 docker://nginx

  5. run eden's status command to get the RPi's IP address
    It is listed under "EVE REMOTE IPs"

    ./eden status

  6. Open a browser and point it to http://EVE's_IP_Address:8028

Step 3:  Pushing Windows to your RPi

The final part is to push Windows from Eden to EVE on your RPi. 

./eden pod deploy docker://itmoeve/eci-windows:2004-compressed-arm64 --vnc-display=1 --memory=2GB 6GB --cpus=2 */

./eden pod deploy docker://itmoeve/eci-windows:2004-compressed-arm64 --vnc-display=1 --memory=6GB --cpus=2

$$ deploying windows to the EVE on the RPi will take a while, it is best to go and get some coffee. to check on the status of the deployment you can run
./eden pod psThe memory = 6 GB flag means that you are telling EVE to give Windows 6 GB of RAM, thus if you are running on a 4 GB RPi, you will want to reduce this to 3 GB.  The more memory that you give to Windows, the better it will perform, but you will want to save 1 GB for EVE.  EVE only needs a little less than 500 MB, but save 1 GB.  Also, remember if you are going to put other applications on EVE, you will need to save memory for them.  

Deploying Windows to EVE will take a while.  To check on the progress use the pod ps command.

./eden pod ps

The results will start with the percent downloaded, then loading, creating volume, and finally running


Step 4:  Using VNC to Remote into Your Pi

You will need to download VNC to your laptop.  Then the use the IP address of your Pi, plus the port of 5901→ 192.123.1.14:5901

Limitations/we haven't tested as of Nov 25, 2020

  • lining up of the mouse.  This is really a limitation of VNC
  • Wifi-  We haven't tested using the native WiFi on the device, but it doesn't seem to be working
  • When the Pi is plugged into a monitor, you see EVE and not windows.  We are working on this.
    • Plugging in a keyboard and mouse interacts with EVE (same as above)
