この記事は SAP IoT services for SAP BTP for the Cloud Foundry EnvironmentのEdge PlatformをRaspberry PIにセットアップしたときの備忘録です。   はじめに Internet of Things Edge PlatformをRaspberry PIにセットアップする場合、メモリが2GB以上ないとgatewayを起動させることが出来ないことに注意が必要です。つまり、Raspberry PI4のメモリが大きめのモデルでないと動作させることが出来ません。Raspberry PI 3やZEROなどではメモリの問題で動作させることが出来ませんでした。 今回は私は以下のバージョンのOSを使用しています。   pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -aLinux raspberrypi 5.10.17-v7l+ #1403 SMP Mon Feb 22 11:33:35 GMT 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux   注意１：私はRaspberry PI 4の4GBメモリモデルを使用しています。2GBモデルでも動作すると思うのですが、テストはしていません。 注意２：ひょっとしたら様々なパラメータや後から入れるメモリ関連のパッケージを駆使することでメモリ2GB以下のRaspberry PIでも動作させることが可能かもしれません。   JREのインストール Edgeゲートウェイの動作にはJavaの実行環境が必要です。 Raspberry PIをネットワークに接続し、ターミナル、あるいはSSH等でログインします。 まず一応パッケージリストを更新するほうが良いでしょう。....
