Preparing your device

To get started with FINN, you need a device to load our SDK on. After a successful installation, your device will be able to perform autonomous payments and send notifications.

Raspberry setup

If you have a debian based device like a raspberry, here's how to setup your device to work with the FINN SDK.

In this example case we are going to use a Raspberry Pi Zero W running Raspbian. The Raspberry Pi will act as our IoT device and we will be pairing it with the FINN Companion app later on.

You can ignore this section if you have already setup your device.

Preparing an SD Card for your Raspberry Pi

On OSX you can use Apple Pi Baker for convenience.

All done? Great! Boot up your Pi and login with the default username and password (don't forget to change it).

Setting up WiFi and git

Open raspi-config and configure your WiFi:

sudo raspi-config
copied to clipboard

After that, it's time to install git:

sudo apt-get install git
copied to clipboard

Your Pi is set up and good to go now. Now for the fun part; installing the FINN SDK.

Make sure the SSH and/or telnet ports on your IoT device are inaccessible over the internet and change your default password.
