| Quantity | 4 units | Enables clustering experiments (K3s, etc.) |
| Form factor | Standard Pi | Compatible with cases, HATs, accessories |
In Service #
| Host | Switch port | Notes |
|---|---|---|
dv02rpi001p01 | gi1/0/14, access, VLAN 30 | Also the sdr host:
CaribouLite SDR |
dv02rpi002p01 | gi1/0/3, access, VLAN 30 | |
dv02rpi003p01 | none declared | |
dv02rpi004p01 | gi1/0/5, access, VLAN 30 |
How the bank is used is the Raspberry Pi page and the Pi Lab.
Physical #
- Network: each Pi is on the IoT segment, VLAN 30. Declare a switch port before cabling a Pi: an undeclared port is untagged VLAN 1 and the Pi looks dead ( CHG-0027).
- Power: not documented.
- Console: the image-factory Pi images enable the serial UART (
enable_uart=1).
Firmware #
The bootloader EEPROM version is not recorded. The OS on each Pi is in the Software Catalog.
