Reference13r1:Concept App Platform

General

• V13 uses buildroot
• this is an own (innovaphone) collection of packages
• For further information see: Buildroot Documentations

Requirements

• V13 or up
• Gateway (arm): IPx10 (with CF card) or IPx11 (with mSATA SSD)
• Virtual (x86_64): HyperV or VMWare

Default credentials

• SSH-Login with admin and ipapps
• root login with root and iplinux (root login is not directly possible over SSH)
• web login pwd

App Platform - arm (Gateway)

• The installation image has a size of ~50MB. During installation, the following partitions are created:
  • /dev/sda1 fat32: 200MB (contains ramdisk, rootfs and kernel)
  • /dev/sda2 ext4: depends on disk size (contains databases, log files and apps)
  • /dev/sda3 ext4: 500MB (contains the rootfs)
  • /dev/sda4 swap: 512MB

App Platform - x86-64 (Virtual Machine)

• The default disk size is 16GB. It should be increased before the first start if needed!

• Multiple CPUs are supported, default is one CPU

• default RAM: 512MB
• static IP address, DNS, Gateway can be configured with the command setip on the console. Run setip --help to get a list of parameters.
• To figure out your ip address you can use the command: ip address on the console.
• loadkeys de can be used to change to german keyboard layout (etc.)

• partitions:
  • /dev/sda1 ext2: 350MB (contains ramdisk, rootfs and kernel)
  • /dev/sda2 ext4: depends on disk size (contains databases, log files and apps)
  • /dev/sda3 ext4: 500MB (contains the rootfs)
  • /dev/sda4 swap: 512MB

Installation

ARM Gateway

If you setup a Gateway with the install procedure, the App Platform is installed automatically.

You can also install it manually:

• Open App Platform -> General and Enable Linux Support. Restart the gateway.
• You need to enable Proxy-ARP on ETH0 or ETH1, so your Gateway and the Linux Appliance will share the same physical interface.
• Open App Platform -> IP and configure the IP settings of the App Platform. Restart the Gateway.
• Open App Platform -> Installation and select the given version or enter an own path to the app-platform-armel.img image file.
• The installation runs without any further required step.

Virtual machine

• Import the image into your server environment.
• Edit the disk size, if needed.
• Start the machine and wait until it reboots and starts again.
