• Log activities from your Pi via a web interface.
• Toggle debug mode as needed.

🔍 Who Should Take This Course:

This course is tailored for:

• Makers and hobbyists who want to push the boundaries of their Raspberry Pi 4.
• Developers looking to create a web app OS from scratch.
• Individuals interested in learning about the Yocto Project and its applications.
• Those who have a web app idea but lack the hardware knowledge to implement it.

📖 Course Description:

Embark on a hands-on journey with the Raspberry Pi 4 and the Yocto Project, where you'll learn to build your own custom web app OS from scratch! This course is meticulously designed to guide you through creating an MVP that can perform various tasks without relying on an external display or keyboard.

Phase I: Setting Up Your Yocto Build Server

We kick things off by establishing your Yocto Build Server within Virtual Box. This initial phase is crucial as it sets the foundation for you to develop and deploy your web app directly onto your Raspberry Pi 4 hardware. By the end of Phase I, you'll be able to boot up your Pi and connect to it remotely via SSH.

Phase II: Building Your Web App OS

In Phase II, we'll go through a series of five builds that will take you from a simple "Hello World" web app to a fully functional application with the following features:

1. Adhoc Network Connection: Learn how to connect your Pi to an ad-hoc WiFi network.
2. Wifi Setup & Configuration:
   • Scan for available WiFi networks.
   • Connect to a WiFi network and configure it for auto-start on boot.
   • Remove the ad-hoc settings once connected to WiFi.
3. Wifi Management:
   • Reset your Pi's WiFi back to ad-hoc mode.
   • Remove previous WiFi configurations and enable auto-start.
4. System Management:
   • Perform a safe shutdown of your Raspberry Pi 4.
   • Reboot your system when needed.
5. Logging & Debugging:
   • View logs from your web app to monitor activities.
   • Toggle debug mode for advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics.

By mastering these steps, you'll have a custom-built OS for your Raspberry Pi 4 that not only showcases your coding skills but also integrates seamlessly with the hardware, making it an ideal platform for a web app.
