This is a
minimal and
optimized version of
Raspbian. It should work on all Raspberry Pi versions...
Think this is a perfect version to start building something from ... you decide what you want to make.
New version of Steelsquid Kiss OS v1.1
Switch to Linux kernel 4.1
You can easily configure WIFI and other stuff from command line and a web interface.
It contains no desktop environment.
Easy to extend functionality with python.
List of features

Simple examples how to use GPIO on Steelsquid KISS OS
Install using my script (only tested on Debian)
- Download script to your computer
wget --no-check-certificate http://www.steelsquid.org/steelsquid-kiss-os.sh
- Make script executable
chmod +x steelsquid-kiss-os.sh
- Download the steelsquid-kiss-os image
./steelsquid-kiss-os.sh download-img
- Insert the sd-card into you sd-card reader and check which drive (/dev/sdX)
- Write img to sd-card (Must be at least 4GB sd-card)
./steelsquid-kiss-os.sh write /dev/sdX
- Extract if you downloaded the gzip file
tar -zxf steelsquid-kiss-os.gz
- Insert the sd-card into you sd-card reader and check which drive (/dev/sdX)
- Insert sdcard into Raspberry Pi
- Power on Raspberry Pi
- SSH from your computer or connect monitor and keybord to your raspberry.
The IP-number will be displayed on tty1 (boot up screen).
ssh root@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Password: raspberry
- For configure help execute:
steelsquid
- Or open you browser to http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
User: root
Password: raspberry
Development (extend functionality)
You can extend the functionality of SteelsquidKissOS in 3 ways
- Start a syncrionisation script on a separate computer.
When you edit files on that computer they will be uploaded to SteelsquidKissOS automatically.
(There is now also a Windows exe file for easy syncrionistion on windows ...) - Edit files on separate computer and upload them manually.
- Edit files on SteelsquidKissOS
I strongly recommends the syncronisations script, for more info see:
Configure/Usage (Command line)
If you type steelsquid in the command line you will get some help.
However, I recommend that you read this instead:
Configure/Usage (Web-interface)
It is also possible to configure certain things via your web browser.
Open you browser to http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
User: root, Password: raspberry
The main WEB Administration interface
Here you can administrate different part of the system.
If you click on the top black menu you can access other stuff.
File manager, Download manager, Media player and Utils.
Also reboot and shutdown.File Manager
A very simple filemanager
Download Manager
Can download http, FTP and BitTorrent.
Media Player
A simple mediaplayer, click and a movie will be played on the HDMI screen.
Utils
Here i add additional features.
At present it is possible to watch any USB/Raspberry Pi camera, a simple interface for my 4WD rover and a Alarm/Surveillance function.
Camera streaming
Stream a USB camera or the Raspberry Pi camera.
Alarm/Surveillance
A alarm ans surveillance fiction
Alarm/Surveillance Server
If you have multiple devices, one can be a server. And on that device you can see the others
Expand
