Hi,

 

after unsuccessful experiences with bananian I found armbian - due to the active forum and answers to questions it looks like the better choice.

 

I try to install fhem on bpr-r1. Combine a access point with homeautomation server (the router ifunction is handled by another device).

After some work with Debian Jessie (lot´s of issues with hostapd and gpio) - Ubuntu with 4.4.1 kernel works stable.

Only issue which keeps me from going into operation is following problem:

all directories /sys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/gpio* are recreated everytime fhem server starts.

 

The trick from Raspbian with chown -R root:gpio ys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/gpio* is not working, due to recreation.

The effect is, that attributes like "active_low" are not working, behaus fhem cannot modify them because of missing access rights. Running fhem as root is not an option.

 

I know for sure, this is not a fhem problem. Some device definition is working fine on 2 RaspberryPis.

 

 

Where is the place I can tell the system do recreate gpio-subdirectories with user:group = root:gpio as well as 775 as access rights?

 

Greetings

Harald

The trick from Raspbian with chown -R root:gpio ys/devices/platform/gpio-sunxi/gpio/gpio* is not working, due to recreation.

 

Why shouldn't that work if you put the line in /etc/rc.local so that it gets executed on every reboot?

 

BTW: Before you start wasting time trying to use the R1 as access point better search the forums before to get an idea what a waste of time and ressources this will be (in other words: it doesn't work as advertised and you better forget about it or replace the hardware)

Thanks tkaiser for the advice.

The AP is just a nice to have feature  and I will not waste more time on it. I already bought a USB Wifi stick as replacement.

 

Before writing in this forum I added "chmod and chown" commands into /etc/init.d/fhem before starting fhem - no help.

Just now I did a test again:

GPIO pin 4 and 7 have been recreted by the start of fhem.

/usr/local/bin/gpio is right in place.

 

So I came to conclusion there are 2 ways

a) change file rights during creation   --> ask the forum

modify the fhem module RPB_GIO --> searching ins ongoing
