Hello,
After reading allot of similar threads on getting ssh to work i realise that i can't seem to figure out the basics, for instance setting up the drivers from the armv6/releases/RPi/src/kernel/4.4.11-piCore+_modules.tar.xz file etc.
What i have is a cheap (blue) usb-lan adapter, a serial connection via mac terminal-FTDI to piCore 8.0v3.
My serial usb connection works, i can log in and change partition etc.
I dont have a clue where to start with the 4.4.11-piCore file mentioned above. Do i have to move the appropriate files to my sd-card where the picore image is installed and do the rest via command line?
This reply from mikedev seems to answer my questions, but i need some pointers towards the actual command line used.
To support that dirt cheap usb LANadapter+USB2.0 3ports hub, I need to get http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/armv6/releases/RPi/src/kernel/4.4.11-piCore+_modules.tar.xz and extract the
dm9601.ko
dm9601.ko.gz
into /usr/local/lib/modules/4.4.11-piCore+/kernel/dirvers/net/usb/
and remaster the core.gz
Thanks, and sorry if i missed something i should have read first.

Just install net-usb-4.4.14-piCore_v7+.tcz. "tce-load -wi net-usb-KERNEL" should do.
-
Thank you, but that would require internet excess already installed?
-
That is the problem with the zero.....you need another computer to get it running.
Setup the SDcard on a B or B+ then move the card to the Zero
or
Put the SDcard into another working linux system. Mount the 2nd partition, and Download the file directly with wget.

Thank you, i tried it in virtualbox and finally got Ubuntu to recognize my sd-card.
Having said that i cant figure out how to mount to the second partition (dev/mmcblk0p2)
I have tried with the fdisk command on both /dev/sdb2 ?? and dev/mmcblk0p2 i also tried from within the sd-card (cd /media/user/PICORE) but without succes. again, i have no experience in this whatsoever.
fdisk -l gives me:

I now see another partition after running df -h, still no clue how to go from here.

Thank you
Are you sure it didn't automount. The second partition should be listed in /media/user/. Look for a long string of characters.....which is the uuid of the partition.
Also, make sure you expand the second partition
-
thank you, I did wget ...picore+.tcz in root@user-VirtualBox:/media/user# , and it saved to: ‘net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz’ . i hope this was what you meant by /media/user/.
ls gives me:
root@user-VirtualBox:/media/user# ls
a02d2d78-3372-4a56-ad8a-4365dc452d37 net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz.md5.txt
net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz PICORE
sorry i didnt get: Look for a long string of characters.....which is the uuid of the partition.
I will expand the size of the second partition via usb serial with: sudo fdisk /def/mmcblk0 , delete and recreate p2.
If i did it correctly i still need to know how to extract the
dm9601.ko
dm9601.ko.gz
into /usr/local/lib/modules/4.4.11-piCore+/kernel/dirvers/net/usb/
and remaster the core.gz
Should i do this over serial, or is it more convenient to do this in Ubuntu?
-
Alright i did
mkdir /tmp/image
sudo mount -o loop net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz /tmp/image
then
cd /tmp/image/usr/local/lib/modules/4.4.14-piCore+/kernel/drivers/net/usb/
ls
asix.ko gl620a.ko kaweth.ko plusb.ko sierra_net.ko
ax88179_178a.ko huawei_cdc_ncm.ko lg-vl600.ko qmi_wwan.ko smsc75xx.ko

cx82310_eth.ko ipheth.ko net1080.ko rndis_host.ko sr9800.ko
dm9601.ko kalmia.ko pegasus.ko rtl8150.ko zaurus.ko
now i have to figure out how to move dm9601.ko to the appropriate directory and where it is located in /media/user# .
Also find out where to find dm9601.ko.gz and find out how to remaster core.gz
-
i probably should have
wget net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz into
/media/user/a02d2d78-3372-4a56-ad8a-4365dc452d37
and
sudo mount -o loop net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz into the appropriate directory. // lost+found maybe?
tce gives me
root@user-VirtualBox:/media/user/a02d2d78-3372-4a56-ad8a-4365dc452d37/tce# ls
mydata.tgz onboot.lst ondemand optional
at this point iḿ stuck.
-
Probably need to go back and read the core book and wiki.
But once the tcz is in the optional directory, just use tce-load -i <nameofextension.tcz>
And for boot purposes, add the extension name to onboot.lst
-
thank you Paul, I will go back and read the book/wiki.
I got it working, i have a internet connection, i still cant log in via ssh tc@. i probably have to configure something but don't know how, should be something obvious. but at lease i can connect via serial/ftdi and instal stuff.
what i did was, wget net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz (in VB Ubuntu)
then (over serial)
cd /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
mv -v net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional (it was already there but somehow nessesary).
cd /etc/sysconfig/tcedir
echo net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz >> onboot.lst
tce-load -i net-usb-4.4.14-piCore+.tcz
then, (i have no idee if this was necessary or why i did it?).
sudo depmod -a
then sudo reboot to see if it was installed at boot.
This was about it.
For my project i need for instance to tce-load -wi alsa-config.tcz, but i get an error on some of the .tcz i need to download.
Downloading: tce-load.tcz
Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
md5sum: tce-load.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on tce-load.tcz
other .tcz (alsa, nano etc.) download fine, why is this?
Thank you.
-
I think in version piCore8 you should install alsa-utils.tcz instead of alsa-config.tcz
Regards
Steen
-
thank you, Is there a way to find out what .tcz have been changed for 8.x?
these give me the error:
tce-load -wi alsa-config.tcz
compile-essentials.tcz
wiringpi.tcz
i dont see wiringpi.tcz and compile-essentials.tcz in the repo.
-
I know that compile-essentials.tcz has new name to compiletc.tcz.
-
i dont see wiringpi.tcz and compile-essentials.tcz in the repo.
Install compiletc.tcz instead of compile-essentials.tcz
-
Thank you, now for wiringpi.tcz, is it still available or has it been updated to a newer version? i have tried wiringpi2.
If its not compatible (yet) for 8.x , but is still in the repo. i might have to move back to 7.
-
I'm trying to (compile)built/install wiringPi.
cd wiringPi
./buildit gives me an error:
wiringPi Build script
=====================
WiringPi Library
sudo: make: command not found
i thought i had installed compiletc.tcz, but when i tried again to check it gave me the following:
compiletc.tcz.dep OK
gawk.tcz.dep OK
gcc_libs-dev.tcz.dep OK
glibc_apps.tcz.dep OK
bash.tcz.dep OK
grep.tcz.dep OK
mount: mounting /dev/loop56 on /tmp/tcloop/make failed: Invalid argument
make.tcz / bash.tcz are already installed.
what could be the problem here?
-
oke, i removed make.tcz. and reinstalled compiletc.tcz now it looks like all is installed.
this is what i had to do before ./build would work.
cd wiringPi
make
sudo make install
cd ../devLib
make
sudo make install
cd ../gpio
make
sudo make install
Do i still have to make wiringPi.tcz or examples?
-
The install is not persistent. One reboot and it's gone. Have to make an extension.
-
sorry not 100% sure that i get it. do i have to make a wiringPi.tcz extention in order to make it persistent?
(for what it's worth). this is what i have in /lib/
libwiringPi.so
libwiringPi.so.2.32
libwiringPiDev.so
libwiringPiDev.so.2.32
I added libwiringPi.so to filetool.lst and ran filetool.sh -b before reboot, but after reboot all is gone.
I have tried following the instructions or executing the commands in this wiringPi built script, but i got stuck.

thank you.

Hi bernie
Make sure you have squashfs-tools.tcz installed and try the following from your home directory:
mkdir -p package/usr/local/lib
cp /lib/libwiringPi* package/usr/local/lib
mkdir -p package/usr/local/tce.installed
touch package/usr/local/tce.installed/libwiringPi.installed
mksquashfs package libwiringPi.tcz
busybox rm -rf package
Copy libwiringPi.tcz to your tce directory and add libwiringPi.tcz to your onboot.lst file. Then reboot.
-
Hi Rich,
Thank you, i get the following at cp ,
tc@box:/home$ cp /lib/libwiringPi* package/usr/local/lib
cp: can't stat '/lib/libwiringPi*': No such file or directory
-
Hi bernie
You said:
(for what it's worth). this is what i have in /lib/
libwiringPi.so
libwiringPi.so.2.32
libwiringPiDev.so
libwiringPiDev.so.2.32
You want to copy those files to package/usr/local/lib/
-
I think you need to take a look at Creating an Extension.
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions
-
alright it worked! thank you. now after reboot all libwiringPi* files are in /usr/local/lib/ again.
Sorry i'm new to all this, so after doing
cp /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi* package/usr/local/libI could reboot and do a pure-data test-run without error.
Is libwiringPi.tcz now a boot script?
thanks again for the help!
-
Hi bernie
Is libwiringPi.tcz now a boot script?
No, it's an extension. Since you added a libwiringPi.tcz entry to your onboot.lst file it will be present every time you boot.
A .tcz file is a compressed file system with a directory structure in it that gets mounted under /tmp/tcloop. From there
it gets linked into the main file system. If you enter:
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.soyou should see something like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 May 10 15:49 /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so -> /tmp/tcloop/libwiringPi/usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.sowhich shows that /usr/local/lib/libwiringPi.so is really just a link back to your libwiringPi.tcz extension mounted under /tmp/tcloop.
