Not sure if this is the best place for this.

I had to make some changes so TranslateUSB works. I show it on ticket #1738.
With those changes OneWire runs on the rpi. It just will not start on it's own. I have not installed any sensors yet but I will soon.


Edit:
Sensors work fine. I had to reload router to see them in lmce-admin.

Thanks for all your work. I can put that together that ticket. If I have any questions I'll let you know. I am building some things now, OneWire being one of them. I'm building dependencies as I go as needed. I am building what I need to use the rpi for headless automation. If you like I can dropbox them for you.

Jim

I thought that might be the case. I also forgot different OS. I am building what I need. Anything I can do?

now I'm finding it will not down load software for new devices. Well at least for oneWire.

Any incites there?

Thanks

Ok figured out the problem.

Because the rpi is a new style MD I needed to let lmce-admin know that. Added

Code:

$GLOBALS['rootRPIMediaDirectorsID'] = 2216; // Raspberry PI Media Directors

in hardCoded.php

and then had to make that a choice option when checking for MDs. Changed in utils.inc.php

Code:

if($row['FK_DeviceCategory']==$GLOBALS['CategoryCore'] || $row['FK_DeviceTemplate']==$GLOBALS['rootMediaDirectorsID']){

to

Code:

if($row['FK_DeviceCategory']==$GLOBALS['CategoryCore'] || $row['FK_DeviceTemplate']==$GLOBALS['rootMediaDirectorsID'] || $row['FK_DeviceTemplate']==$GLOBALS['rootRPIMediaDirectorsID']){

under

Code:

function getTopLevelParent($deviceID,$dbADO)

That was causing my problem. Also changed same line under

Code:

function getTopLevelParentIP($deviceID,$dbADO)

And changed under

Code:

function isMediaDirector($deviceID,$dbADO,$mdOnly=0)

this line

Code:

if($DeviceTemplate==$GLOBALS['rootMediaDirectorsID']){

To this

Code:

if($DeviceTemplate==$GLOBALS['rootMediaDirectorsID'] || $DeviceTemplate==$GLOBALS['rootRPIMediaDirectorsID']){

I haven't tested it too much yet but appears to work.
Let me knwo if you need anything more.

Trying to attached templates to serial devices with lmce-admin I find under "COM Port on PC"

Code:

Error: top parent device not found

I did have to install mysql-client. I ran UpdateAvailableSerialPorts.sh and the ttyUSB0 shows up in mysql under device data 133 with fkdevice being the rpi. Any idea whats causing this?

Also seeing this under "Sound Card" in the rpi device

Thanks again

Jim

I followed instructions here

http://mitchtech.net/raspberry-pi-kernel-compile/

Mostly. The kernel.img goes on the sd card and the modules and firmware go in /usr/pluto/diskless/xx/lib/

You will have to install the gcc cross complier. I followed this

https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/ToolchainInstall-10

I can put a more user friendly outline together if you want to add it to you wiki. There is a shell script on rpi that should do this but did not work for me. At least not before I updated the modules. I think it may now. It's /usr/bin/rpi-update. You can see more about that at

https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update

Hope this helps

I found out that raspbian has problems with serial adaptors and other usb devices. The source we are building from at raspbian.org does not have support for usb to serial adaptors. There are folks working on that  . I have built a new kernel and updated the firmware and modules to include the latest commit. The rpi now attaches my prolific adaptor to ttyUSBx. There have been reports of this crashing after a while. I may not be able to test that just yet. I can outline the steps I took if wanted. Let me know.

Jim

Works like a charm. Thanks for all your and all the others efforts here. Now to working on virtual usb com ports.

I did. But in my stupidity I did not notice that it was named "Diskless_CreateTBZ.2.sh" and have been trying to still run Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh. It's running now.

Thanks for the wrap in the head!

Jim

I think it may be a dpkg issue. I don't think it can handle the .xz extension. I got this to work in 11.10. I add lucidbleed ppa and upgraded dpkg to 1.16.1 ?? can't remember but I know it was 1.16 something. Still had an issue. It seems that the plymouth amrhf has the .xz extension but not the i386. For whatever reason.

While running Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh I'm getting (from debootstrap.log)

Code:

dpkg-deb: file `.//var/cache/apt/archives/plymouth_0.8.5.1-5_armhf.deb' contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz     , giving up
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I don't know enough about apt to figure out where the error is coming from.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I'm looking to put a MD in my greenhouse to work the automation in there. I would be attaching several serial and onewire devices. I'm thinking of a small form factor board with low heat emission, as I would probably be putting it in a NEMA4 enclosure for moisture, usb connection/s to connect peripherals, internet adaptor with wifi (wifi or both could be separate), low power, and it have some kind memory flash or otherwise. I know there was some work on the raspberry PI but I'm not sure where that is or if that could work. Has anybody else done something similar or have any ideas?

Thanks as always

Jim

Solved this. It seems my executable had a slightly different name then the device template. Not sure how it happened but that was it. Works perfect now. Thanks for the help!

Alright I'm going to do an install of the latest snap and see if it works there. I have poked around a lot with this one. So maybe...
