Balena Installation
Paradise can be installed directly from balenaHub, this allows you to manage your fleet and make the most of remote management of the devices.
You'll need to have a Raspberry Pi or other compatible device, and some familiarity with balenaCloud. There is a one click install button on the balenaHub page which allows you to deploy and manage your fleet.
Touch Screen Support
Paradise can be configured to work with the Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Display.
To get the screen to display after installation you will need to change some configuration settings, you can do this either on a fleet level or a device level depending on your preferences.
There are some values that you can set in the standard configuration menu and others you'll need to set as custom configuration.
Standard Configuration Values
| Name | Config Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Define DT overlays | RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_dtoverlay | "vc4-kms-v3","disable-wifi","disable-bt" |
