AMBEServer 3000 for Linux

Update : 22 feb 2025 ( new version 1.0 )

Install the latest Raspbian on a Raspberry PI 3 or higher.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/

  • The AMBEServer3000 software is free but without support!! ( You can report bugs )
  • Make sure you have a 2.1A power supply. ( not a cheap 2.1A power supply )
  • Only start with this installation if you have knowledge of Linux
  • There is also a Windows 10 version available for this software
  • Do not install the graphical version of Raspbian 64Bits. This gives a lot of overhead
  • Make sure you installed the latest version of Raspbian
  • Change the default pi and root user password!!
  • Do not forget to extend the disk partition in the raspi-config after installation of Debian
