Add lrzsz to the repo?

[bambadoo]

Hi, minicom works fine. However there are additional package that need to be installed to make xmodem, ymodem etc. work. That package is called lrzsz.
Is it possible to add it to the repo?

Sincerely

[bmarkus]

lrzsz.tcz added to piCore-7.x repos (armv6/armv7)

[bambadoo]

Thanks alot. I am unable to find it though...
search tce gives no result.

tc@box:~$ tce

Enter selection ( 1 - 2 ) or (q)uit:
It is in the 7.x main repo. Repo mirrors updated usually once in a day so if you are using a mirror, it will appear later.

Thanks once again. Still no luck. Will try again tomorrow
Using "picoreplayer" for the rpi2

Extension not found!

[bmarkus]

Ah, you did not tell it is not piCore you are using nor which piCore it based on. Probably it is running on piCore 6.x

[bambadoo]

v2.04
Update kernel to 4.1.20.
Updated piCore to 7.1 beta3.

But it seems if it is working todag

[bambadoo]

Yes the download and install seems to work. The package itself (xmodem -1k) do not seem to work for me. I really dont know what the problem is. Will try to dig into it.

[bmarkus]

What do you mean 'do not seem to work'?

[bambadoo]

Unable to upload files via minicom to my fpga based dac. It just doesnt start the upload. That need xmodem protocol to make it work. When using a different distro (i.e. archphile) it works like a charm. Excactly the same setup and config for minicom..
I am not sure what causes this.

Do you connect to fpga via minicom via tcp/ip or via some serial transfer ??

lsz -X fpga.bin > /dev/ttyAMA0 < /dev/ttyAMA0

Is this something you recognize ?

Maybe the program have some problems with permissions to the device ??
You may list what group the serial port are assign to.
And add that group to the user that execute the program. Like "tc"

[bambadoo]

Yes it is with serial
/dev/ttyAMA0
No problem connecting to the device and typing commands etc. (soekris dac , dam1021), but transferring files from a mount I have made on the rpi is a no go.

[bambadoo]

No with my restricted knowledge,  I am unable to make this work.
Have to use another distro for this specific job.

[bambadoo]

Hi again. Sorry for bringing this up again. I have still no luck using this with a serial program.
Minicom and lrzsz is installed.
Not able to transfer files.
Just did a fresh install with another distro (raspbian based). Excact same setup with serial interface and minicom setup.
Transferring files went as a breeze. With picore nothing happens.
I really have no clue what could be the reason.

[patrikg]

Have you tried to do it with sudo ?
Could you do, so we can see what rights the device have... maybe the lrzsz don't have correct rights to the serial device.

Code: (bash) [Select]

ls -l /dev/ttyAMA0
And when piping with sudo, isn't so easy.
Could be done with.

Code: (bash) [Select]

sudo sh -c 'lsz -X fpga.bin > /dev/ttyAMA0 < /dev/ttyAMA0'
