PIONEERS Gemeinschaft 3 Development Returns

[synack]

did you miss this step?
sudo apt-get -y install libncurses5-dev php5

 

[synack]

15 update 192 new? are you not using the current image? I believe that is from the "sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade" above it. Are you not following the steps to completion? 207 package installs WILL take a LONG time, it's not hung. I suspect you are trying to use a much older image that requires many more updates.

press the keyboard key 'x' to exit. however if you do not have ncurses installed you wont get that far. (libncurses5-dev)

 

[synack]

I had a thought.. Are you using the "console" image? I chose the Jan 2015 LXDE image as it was the most up to date, and had many items already installed, for instance the development software. The GS3/Asterisk/Linux kernel depend on the dev environment to install. It's possible that when you ran the install for libncurses5-dev it attempted to pull the entire dev environment with it, as it should if missing.

If you are not familiar with "playing" in Linux, you are better off to use the image I recommended as my steps are based off of it. Varying from the script may introduce unknowns that you will likely need to solve.

same error again
after 5 installations
Where is my mistake?

You absolutely NEED ncurses and php5 installed. If you are not getting past that step successfully, there is no point in trying to go further.

Are you getting an error installing php? or just cancelling it out because it takes too long?

 

[synack]

Are you booting from external SD?
and are you sure you are booting from external SD?
fdisk -l should show your 4GB or greater drive as mmcblk0
if your 2GB eMMC is mmcblk0 than that's wrong.

Is Gemeinschaft 5 dead? or is going to be resurrected?

 

[tycho]

Fact is Gemeinschaft 5 needs more power than a beaglebone.

Like maybe a new RasPie 2?

I can't believe I just sat and watched two light bulbs turn on (to music). Very mesmerizing!

 

[synack]

That is cool.
As for platform, the Pi and the BBB should be little to no difference. I think the BBB has more GPIO if that matters.
The Pi2 promises to kill both the Pi and BBB in terms of performance.

For security, that's up to you. Whatever you decide to implement will affect how secure it is.

I myself am a homebrew electronics tinkerer and have a big strip of multi-color LEDs that can be individually addressed with basically a single GPIO pin. ie: 600 LED pixels bit banged with 24bit color... seriously cool see here as an example. I've implemented a wired 10 meter WS2811 strip with an Arduino.
I'm not too familiar with how it's done on a Pi, but BBB, it would be a matter of exporting the pin to the file system and echoing a 1 or a 0 to send the bit. (and doing that a few thousand times a second)
There is arduino code (fastled) that could be looked at.
I don't know about the other home automation stuff like door latches and stuff. I suspect wired home devices will be easier to do than wireless, or at least cheaper.

has anyone managed to get gs5 to build?

there's an entire section here https://github.com/amooma/GPiBE but it for the model B, not the B+ and I'm having enough difficulty trying to get the GBE to actually work.

 

[synack]

I. Must. Have. That. Now.
I think i'm going the Boblight, XBMC, arduino route with a string of ws2811.
Looks like I have me a new weekend project

 

[synack]

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in Canada, and I would prefer the challenge to build a solution myself. I already have a linux XBMC media server connected to my main LED TV, so boblight/xbmc and arduino suit my situation the best. Hopefully I'll be able to make some time this weekend to work on it. Also I run everything 1080p HD on HDMI, so your Scimo wouldn't work for me anyway.
I agree that the next stage of home automation is to integrate communications and IoTs all together.
All the pieces are there, someone needs the time and energy to glue it all together.

trying to get this running on a banana pi/sbc

first issue, kernel source for bananian, or do I go for raspbian for banana pi and try the asterisk gui mentioned elsewhere?

 

[hecatae]

Install script runs only with debian and with changes with ubuntu...
There is not the manpower like here. Ands other go strict conservative debian

i have got it running with raspbian, just need to install kernel source for bananian...

I dont have a bananapi, but the following *should* work (or close to)

cd /usr/src/
sudo wget -qO- https://github.com/Bananian/linux-bananapi/archive/v3.2.20.tar.gz | tar -zxf-
sudo ln -s linux-bananapi-3.2.20 linux
sudo gunzip -c /proc/config.gz > linux/.config
cd /usr/src/linux
sudo make oldconfig && make menuconfig
x to exit

replacing 3.2.20 in both places with what version of kernel you have installed.

 

[synack]

make menuconfig will only work if you have libncurses installed...
make menuconfig may not be required, just a habit/superstition I have from way back. make oldconfig maybe enough

 

[hecatae]

currently running this on my banana sbc
http://forum.lemaker.org/thread-2657-1-1-.html

also seen orange pi are available

 

[hecatae]

kernel built, sources got, install begins

 

[hecatae]

Took no time at all to build
