Info for creating an amplet


This information is intended for someone who is setting up an AMP peer network. It is designed to get you started setting up an AMPlet which will communicate with your AMP data collector. There is currently no support for this software, so use it at your own risk.

  1. Order a bunch of systems, they should be very close if not exactly the same as our systems to keep the measurements accurate
  2. You will need to setup a data collector running am_slave
  3. You will then need to follow this set of instructions to install the operating system onto the system.
  4. After the system is running the newly installed operating system you will need to download the current AMPlet distribution. A README file is included with the distribution and for pre-install questions we have included an early version of the README here.
  5. You will then want to verify that am_master starts itself and that the measurements have commenced.

This is the best way to setup an initial system and then you can distribute them with just a couple of changes to the rc.conf file.
