Kiosk System for Raspberry Pi 5 Model B (64-bit)

This is a specialised version of the nerves_system_rpi5 that includes the required packages to run a fullscreen web browser in kiosk mode.

This is a work-in-progress to bring a maintained open source web kiosk back to Nerves. Thanks to the following people and their code that they shared:

• Tim Cooper's RPi4 Kiosk
• Tom Winkler's reTerminal DM Kiosk

The documentation here is out of date, but the example works.

Using

The most common way of using this Nerves System is create a project with mix nerves.new my_kiosk_app --target rpi5 and to export MIX_TARGET=rpi5.

Then, change the rpi5 system dependency to {:kiosk_system_rpi5, "~> 0.1.0", runtime: false, targets: :rpi5}.

Kiosk Example

Please see the kiosk_example project for an example of how to use this in a Nerves project.

RP1 PIO

The rpi1-pio device driver allows use of the PIO hardware using piolib. If you don't see /dev/pio0, the most likely cause is that you need to update your Raspberry Pi's boot EEPROM. See rpi-eeprom for binaries. It may be easier to upgrade the EEPROM via RaspberryPi OS if the instructions aren't clear.
