Headless IP Address Communication

Headless IP Address Communication
Project Description
The Raspberry Pi (and some other development boards) may be run "headless" in certain applications - without a monitor connected. However, to connect over ethernet for remote diagnostics, it is necessary to know the IP address of the system. This project involves communicating the address through other available means, such as the LED or audio system.

Project Details
The two most obvious ways to provide IP address information are: (1) to flash the programmable LED on the Pi (or other development board) and (2) to "read" the IP address over the audio system
This project involves:
- creating scripts to do both of these
- creating the appropriate systemd service files so that the scripts can be run at boot time
- packaging all of this up for inclusion in Fedora
