- A target device (Raspberry Pi 3B+) with supporting hardware. See the Embedded Hardware and Firmware Setup section for more information.
- A host development PC running Ubuntu 16.04 or higher. This can be running directly on a PC or in a VM with network access. Other Linux distributions may work, but this book is written for Ubuntu. (I am running Ubuntu 18.10 on dedicated hardware.) You will need the following access rights for your account on the host:
- Administrative (or root) privileges for installing software on your development PC are needed.
- A web browser (Chrome is recommended) is required.
- Internet access is necessary.
- The following tools should be configured and working on the host:
- ssh
- rsync
- scp
- tar
- xz
- bzip2
- g++
- patch
