Over a year ago I participated in the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598272670/chip-the-worlds-first-9-computer/description">kickstarter campain</a> for “CHIP - The World’s First Nine Dollar Computer” by <a href="https://www.nextthing.co/">Next Thing Co.</a>.

<p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.nextthing.co/">Next Thing Co.</a> and their CHIP which is actually 9 USD the space requirement for a single board computer has decreased. No ethernet and HDMI output helped with that. But I guess that the next development cycle will allow us to put those boards in a matchbox including wired networking and a SATA interface.</p>

<p>If you start using a PocketCHIP you will definitly look like a Blackberry or a GameBoy user. Typing is done with your thumbs :-)</p>

<p>First a couple of tweaks like setting up <code>sudo</code>, upgradeing the existing installation, change passwords, enabling ssh, and removal of the annoying stuff then installation of Home Assistant. There is not much to tell…it’s straight-forward. For the sake of completeness below the notes about what I did.</p>

<p>A Debian installation is available by default. This means that some dependencies for Home Assistant are missing. I haven’t checked if a new build for the PocketCHIP would include them. So, after a <code>$ sudo apt-get update</code> installing those dependencies take a minute or two.</p>
