When you want to use the data storage features, you need a suitable microSD card. When you don't see the blink -> fast blink sequence, your low level copying of the Meteobridge image to your microSD card has failed. When the red LED reaches steady on, your Meteobridge has successfully reached out to the Internet, has loaded the application stack and is ready to go. Your card is flashed fine when the red LED starts blinking slowly and then changes to fast blinking after a while. Having copied the disk image to the card it just needs to insert the card into the Raspberry Pi, connect it with an Ethernet cable to your LAN and to power it up.

We need to punch the disk image directly onto the card, not into the file system already established on the card. Trying to avoid these tools and doing just a regular file copy of the Meteobridge disk image to the microSD card will not work. When using the "Raspberry Pi Imager" you have to select the "Use Custom" option as Operating system and you also have to enable "all files" to load the ".bin" named Meteobridge disk image.

"Etcher" is reported not to work properly on some Windows installs (When it throws system errors during copy, please use Raspberry Pi Images instead). When using "Etcher" you need to enable "all files" in the file selection dialog in order to load the Meteobridge disk image which has a ".bin" extension. Next step is to use a low level disk copy tool like "etcher" or "Raspberry Pi Imager" to transfer the Meteobridge disk image onto the SD card.

If you own a Meteobridge PRO or NANO, please ignore these pages completely as your unit is already flashed the right way in the factory and you received it ready to go.Ĭopying the Meteobridge disk image onto a Raspberry Pi microSD card If your intent is to use Meteobridge on a Raspberry Pi then you just have to copy the disk image onto the micro SD card of the Raspberry Pi. If you don't like the idea of flashing devices, you can also reach out for a Meteobridge reseller, who has Meteobridges on standard HW already flashed and fully licensed in Where to Buy? section. When flashing Meteobridge firmware onto the router you will void the manufacturers warranty, but having the cheap price in mind you will certainly not face a substantial financial risk in the unlikely event that you brick the router.
MAC TFTPSERVER INSTALL
To make a Meteobridge out of the pocket WLAN routers introduced below, you simply have to install an applicable Meteobridge firmware image.
