WiFi Hot Spots are ubiquitous.  In many cases, the service providers would like to display an information page,  require the user to watch a video, or ask for web authorization before the Internet service can be provided.  In this post, we provide a pre-built image that can turn your pcDuino v2 (only with the Green Wifi module) into a WiFi hot spot that has the capability to accommodate the above needs.

For how to install the image on pcDuino v2, please refer to:   Steps to Flash Ubuntu Images to pcDuino 1/2/3
