AMBEServer 3003 for Linux

This software converts an AMBE3003 to three AMBE3000 AMBEServers.

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

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

  • This software does not convert one AMBE3000 to three AMBE3000!!
  • The AMBEServer3003 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. 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
