Configuration with RevPi Status | Industrial Raspberry Pi

The RevPi Status application, also known as Webstatus, enables the basic configuration of the RevPi devices and simple activation or deactivation of the installed services.

RevPi Status is pre-installed on every RevPi base module up to RevPi Bullseye (04/2024).

As of RevPi Bookworm (10/2024) the basic configuration with RevPi Status is replaced by Cockpit.

Starting RevPi Status #

▷ Establish a network connection between the RevPi and your PC.

▷ Open a web browser.

▷ Call up RevPi Status via the web browser with revpi[serial number].local
You can find the serial number on the front of the housing.
Alternatively, you can enter the IP address of the RevPi in the web browser.

❯ A security warning may appear in the browser.

▷ Accept the security exception to continue with the login.

❯ The login screen for RevPi Status appears.

▷ Log in with the user name admin and the device password.
You can find the device password on the sticker on the side of the RevPi housing.

APPS #

The activated applications can be started in the APPS tab. If necessary, the application or service must first be activated in the SERVICES tab.

The Revolution Pi system, i.e. a RevPi base module with expansion modules, is configured via the PiCtory application.

CONFIG #

The following basic configurations are possible in RevPi Status via the CONFIG tab.

Name	Value
Max CPU clock rate	The CPU clock frequency will be automatically reduced due to temperature issues. In order to guarantee consistent system behavior, the Max CPU clock frequency can be reduced in advance.
Time synchronization daemon	Activate / deactivate time synchronization via the Internet.
SSH daemon to prevent remote login	Activate / deactivate access via SSH (Secure Shell Host Protocol), see Login via Terminal.
Boot to GUI	Activate / deactivate automatic start of the graphical user interface.
Swap	To limit access to the eMMC permanent memory, the swapping of RAM data to the eMMC can be disabled.
Store logs on	To limit access to the eMMC permanent memory, logging data can be redirected to a RAM disk (tmpfs).
Bluetooth (BT)	Activate / deactivate BT.
WLAN	Activate / deactivate.
Support RevPi ConCan device	To be able to use the RevPi Con CAN expansion module, it must first be configured in the device tree. Reboot required!
