Configuration file

Each source board can be persistently configured through its configuration file rediding on on the BeagleBone board in: /etc/skycharge.conf. The configuration file has the following sections: common, MUX, PSU and Skyport.

Updating the configuration file

When you update the configuration file, the changes won't become effective until skycharged is restarted.
To manually restart skycharged you can invoke the following command:

systemctl restart skycharged

Common configuration

user-uuid = <uuid-string, compatible with [RFC-4122](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122)>

Customer UUID generated by Skycharge which identifies a client instance.

broker-url = broker.skycharge.de:6666,5555

URL of the Skycharge cloud server. If your Skycharge system is not supposed to go online, you can comment this string out.

device-uuid = <uuid-string, compatible with [RFC-4122](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122)>

Device UUID generated by Skycharge. The device key is a unique ID and used to bind many devices to a customer on the Skycharge cloud server.

device-name = <string>

Short and self-descriptive name of this particular device.

HW2 source board (MUX) configuration

All the source board configuration settings can be changed with the configuration file. Please read the source board configuration page where the complete list of configuration settings is described.

Each source board configuration setting can be written into the file with the prefix 'mux-hw2-', for example:

mux-hw2-psu-type = <RSP-750-48>

Sink board configuration

All the sink board configuration settings can be changed with the configuration file. Please read the sink board configuration page where the complete list of configuration settings is described.

Each sink board configuration setting can be written into the file with the prefix 'sink-', for example:

sink-batt-type = <Li-Po | Li-Ion>
