3.5 Ubuntu setup
The software package comes with a Ubuntu LiveCD integrating the NVS package. You can run or install this
LiveCD directly.
If you have a computer already operating with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you will need to install just the NVS package.
1. Download the NVS package nvs-5.1.tgz from the Smart Remote 3 for nRF52 start page.
2. Open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + T).
3. Navigate to the folder where nvs-5.1.tgz is located.
4. Unpack the nvs-5.1.tgz file by typing tar -xf nvs-5.1.tgz.
5. Open the file nvs-5.1/binaries/HOWTO-install.txt and follow the steps there to complete the
installation.
3.6 Turn on and pair with Ubuntu
The Smart Remote 3 for nRF52 can be connected with Bluetooth
®
to a host system using Ubuntu.
Make sure that you have set up Ubuntu as described in Ubuntu setup on page 13 before you start.
1. If your computer is not Bluetooth
®
4.0 enabled, insert the Bluetooth
®
dongle (supplied) into your computer
and wait until the dongle is recognized and the drivers installed properly.
2. Power up the board, either by inserting batteries into the battery compartment, or by sliding the power
switch on the DK to ON position (DK add-on only).
3. Pairing mode is automatically selected if the Smart Remote 3 was not bound to a previous host. To delete
existing bonds and enter pairing mode, power up the Smart Remote 3 while pressing the orange button
between between the Channel + and Volume + buttons.
