    But you will need to get the rootfs and bin files for AEP through the portal.

    Paul,

    Instructions and the script for flashing from uboot are here:

    Hey there,

    Have you tried following these instructions? http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/mlinux-cellular-connection/

    If so, check /var/log/messages for pppd logging after you start pppd.

    Jeff,

    You can put the text body in a file and use the -f option

    ~# sms send
    usage: send [ OPTIONS ... ] < number >
    where  OPTIONS := {
             --alphabet { seven-bit | eight-bit } |
             -f, --file < input-file > |
             --smsc-addr < smsc-addr > |
             --cmgw-first
           }

    Hello,

    A mini SIM card is not needed unless you want a cellular internet connection. You can get one through AT&T or T-Mobile, etc.

    Andreas,

    Sorry about this! There’s a bug in 1.3.2 that disables Node-RED on upgrade.

    To renable it, check the Node-RED Enabled box on the Apps page in the UI.

    Ajay,

    I’m not aware of any way to do this. The only way to make sure your data is saved it to save your data periodically or on each update.

    Hoon,

    Nope, the only differences are:
    1. Part number
    2. Firmware loaded at factory
    3. Front panel decal

    Yes, if you load mLinux firmware on an AEP Conduit, the leds will behave as programmed in the mLinux firmware (or as customized by you)

    You should be able to get the login prompt via the USB debug port by hitting the key.

    Hey Chris,

    Yes, on the AEP model, most config files are generated from the API. You can easily increase lora logging level on AEP from the UI on the bottom of the Lora configuration page.

    Mariusz,

    Thank you for that. I think you are correct that it’s a typo, but for our verification purposes, can you post specific steps and environments required to reproduce this? This is the first time anyone has discovered this as far as we know. I’m currently unable to reproduce it.

    Frederic,

    I studied the debug output for awhile and did some digging in the tinc code. I’m not sure what the problem is besides that it’s a problem finding the openssl library. My best guess at this point is maybe that version of tinc and openssl are not compatible together..?

    Frederic,

    Hmm, I’m not sure. Did you try switching the order of openssl and lzo in the tinc DEPENDS?

    Can you post all of the bitbake output surrounding this failure?

    Frederic,

    It sounds like you may need to add openssl to the DEPENDS Bitbake variable. Each Bitbake has to specify all of it’s dependencies.

    Ajay,

    I’m not sure which feature requests you were wondering about, but you can see all the changes in the AEP Changelog.

    As for NPM modules, yes, they will be lost on firmware upgrade unless you install them under /var/config/

    Hey Jerome,

    Unfortunately this is expected behavior. The Conduit doesn’t have any compilers or build tools because it simply doesn’t have the needed performance.

    The only way to install these type of packages is to cross-compile them on a standard Linux PC using the mLinux SDK and then install them on the Conduit. But be aware that any installed packages not in /var/config/ will be lost on a firmware upgrade.

    Antonio,

    You also need to have a public IP address from your PPP provider. If you can’t ping the Conduit’s PPP IP address from your computer command line, then it almost certainly has a private IP address which is hidden behind your cellular provider’s firewall. Generally it costs more to have a public IP address for your SIM.

    Are you sure the network server is running? (ps aux | grep lora) Are there any lora log files in /var/log/? If so, what are the contents?

    Quentin,

    Ok, I’m glad you got that to work! mLinux doesn’t have the web GUI or Node-RED. If want AEP again, you’ll need to open a support case and ask for the AEP upgrade files. Then follow the mLinux flashing instructions (auto-flash, not U-boot) using the AEP files.

    Quentin,

    Did you set the env variables before flashing (issuing run krb)?

    You’ll need to start over and carefully go through the U-Boot flashing instructions again. You shouldn’t need to modify the script before running it in Minicom. In any case, the quotes (') around the commands are critical (you removed them).

    Quentin,

    Oh yes. So you’ll need to follow the U-Boot firmware flashing instructions on the following page:
    http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/flashing-mlinux-firmware-for-conduit/

    Before you put add this to the boot init script again, test it from the command line and make sure the process is backgrounded (you get back to the command prompt without having to hit Ctrl-C)

    
    /etc/init.d/myapp start

    Quentin,

    That’s probably because your node process isn’t being backgrounded. You could add ‘&’ right before ‘>>’, or you can use start-stop-daemon as in the below example:

    
    #!/bin/sh
    
    PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
    DAEMON=/sbin/radio-monitor
    NAME=radio-monitor
    ANGEL=/sbin/radio-angel
    DESC="Radio Monitor"
    PIDFILE=/var/run/radio-monitor.pid
    
    start() {
      start-stop-daemon --start --background --make-pid -p $PIDFILE --exec $ANGEL -- $DAEMON
    }
    
    stop() {
      start-stop-daemon --stop --exec $ANGEL -p $PIDFILE
      rm $PIDFILE
    }
    
    case "$1" in
      start)
        echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
        start
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;
      stop)
        echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
        stop
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;
      restart|force-reload)
        echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
        stop
        sleep 1
        start
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;
      *)
        N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
        echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
    esac
    
    exit 0
