Compiling SAMA5D3 Software Package on OSX

The package can be downloaded from Atmel here.

Once you have the gcc arm toolchain installed this pretty much compiles cleanly, except in the output I noticed it trying to cleanup using a cs-rm command. A quick google search discovered this is the legacy code sourcery rm command. I just added link for cs-rm to my /usr/local/arm-gcc/bin directory :
ln -s /bin/rm /usr/local/arm-gcc/bin/cs-rm

The alternative is to find and replace all instances on cs-rm with just rm, but I’d have to do that everytime I update the software package, so I settled on just linking cs-rm to rm.

Get the precompiled toolchain here

Download and extract folder, copy to /usr/local/.
Update link to /usr/local/arm-gcc (ln -s /usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-{version} /usr/local/arm-gcc)

Once only: Add gcc-arm to path:
Edit /etc/paths.d/60-arm-gcc
/usr/local/arm-gcc/bin

Also add man paths
Edit /etc/manpaths.d/60-arm-gcc
/usr/local/arm-gcc/share/doc/gcc-arm-none-eabi/man

A bit of a ‘bug’ in os x is path_helper (run from /etc/profile) doesn’t set MANPATH if it’s not already defined. So A quick hack is to add the following lines in /etc/profile:

MANPATH=
export MANPATH

So the complete file looks like:

# System-wide .profile for sh(1)
MANPATH=
export MANPATH

if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi

Then all man paths defined in /etc/manpaths.d will be set

Buliding simavr on OS 10.9 (Mavericks) with CrosspackAVR

A brief howto build simavr using CrosspackAVR avr-gcc toolchain

First download the source to simavr from here

git clone https://github.com/buserror-uk/simavr.git

Using Homebrew install libelf (thanks to post here by Robert Nees):
brew install libelf

I needed to make symbolic links to the libelf header files:
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s libelf/* .

Edit the Makefile.common in the simavr git repo you’ve downloaded and change the following lines:
AVR_ROOT := "/usr/local/CrossPack-AVR/"
AVR_INC := ${AVR_ROOT}/avr/
AVR := ${AVR_ROOT}/bin/avr-
# Thats for MacPorts libelf
ifeq (${shell test -d /usr/local && echo Exists}, Exists)
IPATH += /usr/local/include
LFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib

Then just make and make install and you are done! Now to figure out how to use it.

For your reference, here’s my make output:

Syncing the NZ AIP into Air Nav Pro

Posted on by

So I wanted to be lazy and not worry about manually updating the aerodrome charts in Air Nav Pro.
Since there doesn’t seem to be an API in the NZAIP (www.aip.net.nz) I hacked together a python script to scrape the data and download all the plates. I’ve excluded downloading any IFR plates (using a crude word filter) since I’m only interested in VFR. If you want the IFR plates as well, just make the IFR_Keywords list an empty list in getaip.py:
IFR_Keywords = []

I’m running OS X 10.8 so if you want to run these scripts on windows you’ll need to install python at the very least and also rsync.

First I create a list of aerodrome objects and attach a list of assets to each aerodrome object. Each asset is essentially a linked pdf from the AIP web site. Then I create my required directory structure – directory name is the aerodrome ICAO code (for Air Nav Pro) and change the pdf file name to match the required naming convention (must start with ICAO code of aerodrome).
I essentially download all plates every time, since I don’t know which ones have changed.

The two python files need to be in the same directory. You can download all the plates just by running `python getaip.py`
This will create a directory named ‘aip’ in the same directory as the getaip.py script.

You need to mount the web dav server from Air Nav Pro.

Once this is done, then I just use rsync (with the –checksum and –delete) flags to update the plates – the script outputs a sample rsync command. Simple!!

Building python-ldap-2.4.10 on QNAP TS-210

Posted on by

I’m using ipkg to install some of the requirements, so check the QNAP site to see how to enable the use of this.

The python-ldap module requires a compile of some modules so you need some headers. These can be installed via ipkg:
ipkg install openldap-libs
This installs the ldap(openldap-libs_2.3.43-2_arm.ipk) and sasl (cyrus-sasl-libs_2.1.23-2_arm.ipk) libs in /opt/lib and /opt/lib/sasl2 and the header files in /opt/include and /opt/include/sasl

Download the python-ldap (Version 2.4.10 as of the time of writing this document) source from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap/ and extract to your qnap (I’m using /share/MD0_DATA/lab/)

Edit setup.cfg in the extracted directory, and change the following two lines:
library_dirs = /opt/openldap-RE24/lib /usr/lib
include_dirs = /opt/openldap-RE24/include /usr/include/sasl /usr/include

to be:
library_dirs = /opt/lib /opt/lib/sasl2
include_dirs = /opt/include /opt/include/sasl

Run : python setup.py build

I had an error:
/opt/bin/gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -DHAVE_SASL -DHAVE_TLS -DHAVE_LIBLDAP_R -DHAVE_LIBLDAP_R -DLDAPMODULE_VERSION=2.4.10 -IModules -I/opt/include -I/opt/include/sasl -I/opt/include/python2.5 -c Modules/constants.c -o build/temp.linux-armv5tel-2.5/Modules/constants.o
Modules/constants.c: In function 'LDAPinit_constants':
Modules/constants.c:155: error: 'LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE' undeclared (first use in this function)
Modules/constants.c:155: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Modules/constants.c:365: error: 'LDAP_CONTROL_RELAX' undeclared (first use in this function)
error: command '/opt/bin/gcc' failed with exit status 1

Turns out with version of python-ldap (2.4.x), OpenLDAP 2.4 client libs or newer are required. So off to find out where these are. I downloaded the ipkg’s mentioned above (openldap-libs and cyrus-sasl-libs) to try an figure how how to build the newest versions of these. Turns out the cyrus-sasl-libs haven’t been updated for a long time, the latest version is 2.1.25 and the one supplied in ipkg repo currently is 2.1.23-2. python-ldap 2.4.10 needs Cyrus SASL 2.1.x or newer so the supplied ipkg version is fine.

Building openldap-2.4.35 (without slapd) to get the libraries:
untar openldap-2.4.35.tar.gz
cd into openldap source
export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
./configure --prefix=/opt --disable-slapd
make depend
cd libraries
make

Now you need to copy them into a directory structure to build the ipkg – I found some instruction for this here http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=IPKG_Howto (if you want to build the ipkg – if not you can just run make install from the libraries folder).

mkdir -p /share/MD0_DATA/lab/ipkg_build/openldap-libs/ipkgroot/opt/include
mkdir -p /share/MD0_DATA/lab/ipkg_build/openldap-libs/ipkgroot/opt/lib

You should now have a file named ‘openldap-libs_2.4.35_arm.ipk’ in /share/MD0_DATA/lab/ipkg_builds/openldap-libs
You can install this using ipkg:
ipkg install openldap-libs_2.4.35_arm.ipk
I’ve also uploaded this ipkg to http://www.massey.ac.nz/~fherbert/ipkg/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/openldap-libs_2.4.35_arm.ipk

So now, back to building python-ldap. Change back into the python-ldap source directory and run ‘python setup.py build’ and this time it built, Yay!

Once the build is complete, you can either just run python setup.py install and you are done, or use create an ipkg.

MythTV mythtv-setup and fonts

Posted on by
Reply

I kept getting this annoying message when starting mythtv-setup on my QNAP:

MythFontProperties: Failed to load 'Liberation Sans', got 'FreeSans' instead

Turns out the Liberation Sans font is a freely available one, I downloaded mine from here

I then installed the ttf files into /opt/share/mythtv/fonts, restarted mythtv-setup and no more warnings about the fonts.

Getting the EPG using Mythtv on QNAP using xml grabber

I was seeing this in the mythtv-setup log when trying to get it to detect tv_grab_nz.py:

2013-04-27 16:05:07.772632 I XMLTVConfig::Load: Running 'tv_find_grabbers baseline'.
2013-04-27 16:05:08.068895 E XMLTVConfig::Load: Failed to run tv_find_grabbers

So turns out you need the xmltv package to get the 7 day epg working using tv_grab_nz-py from here
Luckly, someone has already created a QPKG for xmltv on the QNAP here

MythWeb and MythTV 0.26

Posted on by

So I had to get MythWeb running on MythTV which is running on my QNAP TS-210.

After going through the setup and changing the config file as required I had a few issues.
The first issue (Failed to open translation file: modules_path/_shared/lang/English.lang in /share/Qweb/mythweb/classes/Translate.php) was resolved by symlinking the modules_path directory in the Mythweb directory to the modules directory (in the same directory).

The second issue (nothing much appearing on screen and a javascript error about recommend_enabled not defined), I had the edit included/db_update.php and set the $db_vers to 4 as Mythweb kept trying to setup myth recommendations something or rather. I’m not interested in this and just wanted to get mythweb working.

MythTV Upnp Samsung TV (AllPlay)

So I finally got MythTV running on my QNAP and tried to connect to the Upnp MythTV service but this just kept failing. Turns out Samsung TV’s send an extra ‘/’ in the POST request – DOH!!

So the hack for mythtv to handle this is here

So I edited my libs/libmythupnp/httprequest.cpp in the mythtv-0.26.0 source on my QNAP. Not wanting to recompile the entire application, I just did:
cd mythtv0.26.0-src
cd libs/libmythupnp/
make
make install

The restarted MythTV, and voila! Upnp is now working on the samsung TV’s!

Installing MythTV 0.26.0 onto QNAP TS-210 and HDHomerun

Posted on by
Reply

I have a QNAP TS-210 which has a Marvell 6281 800MHz CPU and 256MB RAM running firmware 3.8.2 Build 20130301

I installed MythTV as per the wiki instructions here

The compile of QT took around 30 hours and the compile of MythTV took around 12 hours!! So don’t try to do this when you’re in a hurry.

I had a few issues with the compiling of MythTV, all of them pretty much were discussed in this forum.
The patches provided for MythTV 0.26 pre patch on the wiki page above worked except for the mythcdrom-linux.cpp one, which I had to apply manually.
After this manual patch was applied, I got errors when trying to configure MythTV due to the system unable to find the libuuid headers. As discussed in the QNAP forum, you need to download the QNAP GPL source and perform the following:

mkdir /opt/include/uuid
cp GPL_TS/src/e2fsprogs-1.41.4/lib/uuid/uuid.h /opt/include/uuid/uuid.h
ln -sf /lib/libuuid.so.1 /lib/libuuid.so

The configure then ran successfully ( I had to leave off the “–cpu=’i686′” option otherwise it refused to configure. Since I am using the HDHomerun network tuner, I didn’t need to build kernel drivers since support for the HDHomerun is included in MythTV.

The make failed, unable to locate some libraries or something, I had to add the path to the opt bin directory:
export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH

Once I has it all working, I was able to run mythv-setup and configure my HDHomerun with all DVB-T channels.
