Add script to build for the Lorank8 #15
Conversation
|
I just added one more related commit, that installs libttn-gateway-connector into /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib, since the latter should be reserved for system libraries installed by the package manager AFAIK. |
This is just a copy of the build-pi.sh script, with some minimal changes: - Remove the WiringPi compilation - Do not install the python-rpi.gpio package - Set PLATFORM to "lorank"
/usr/lib is normally reserved for system libraries installed to the package manager. The paho.mqtt.embedded-c was already installed into /usr/local, now all libraries are.

This passes --remove-destination to the copy of `mp_pkt_fwd` in the rpi and lorank build scripts, to remove and recreate the file instead of writing to the existing file. This prevents the "Text file busy" error that would otherwise occur when the forwarder is running.

For anyone still looking here for Lorank-support: It seems that with a recent kernel update, the beagleboard has renamed their SPI devices. The Lorank uses SPI0 for the radio, but this used to be It seems that these device names are not necessarily stable, so the best way to access SPI devices is to use the I saw that this packet forwarder supports a Some additional discussion is here: adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python#263 |
This is just a copy of the build-pi.sh script, with some minimal
changes:
Since the changes are minimal, it might be better to integrate them into a single "build" script perhaps, passing a PLATFORM (and perhaps also CFG_SPI) parameter? Or just a separate script, which gives maximum flexibility for now?
This script was tested on a Lorank8 with a clean Debian Stretch install and produces a working forwarder.
