In short, the gpio pins are the same as on the raspberry pi, so the only thing we need to do is add the correct dt overlay and reboot.

# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libre-computer-project/libretech-overlays/for-4.13.y/overlays/meson-gxl-s905x-libretech-cc-uarta.dts
# armbian-add-overlay meson-gxl-s905x-libretech-cc-uarta.dts
# reboot

The uart will now be available at /dev/ttyAML6

Upgrades for Lenovo W500

Leave a reply

For anyone interested. It is possible to upgrade your aging Lenovo W500 to 802.11ac wifi, if you have flashed your BIOS without the whitelist. Upgrades I’ve done.

– WWAN F5521GW (Still 3G, but supposedly a bit faster than the original F3507g).
– WiFi Intel 7260 (this is a half hight mini-pcie card, so you need a extension plate).
– SSD

intel amt/me debian

Endel Intel systemer idag kommer med vPro. Dette vil si at det er en slags billig iLO/iDRAC løsning integrert. Systemet jeg konfigurerte hadde en eldre versjon, som kun gir mulighet for å styre power samt konsoll over seriell. For oss er det mer enn godt nok for breakfix ved feil.

I korte trekk hva som må konfigureres.

1. IP på Intel ME firmware. Trykk F9? rett etter BIOS. I utgangspunktet kan Intel ME ligge på samme IP som host, og ta over trafikk på vei inn på maskinen. Av gammel vane liker jeg helst å separere denne trafikken helt.
2. Konfigurer grub

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=deadline console=ttyS2,115200n8"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --port=0xc000 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

Kort forklaring på “–port=0xc000”. Denne finner du ved å kjøre:

# dmesg |grep ttyS2 |grep irq
[ 0.527818] 0000:00:03.3: ttyS2 at I/O 0xc000 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

Ser at det stemmer med

# lspci |grep KT
00:03.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Serial KT Controller (rev 02)

3. Konfigurer systemd med getty.

# systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS2.service
# systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS2.service

4. Koble til med amttool / amtterm

# export AMT_PASSWORD=passw0rd
# amttool hostname

Utvide ZFS pool med ny RAIDZ VDEV

Rimelig rett frem, det vil riktignok ikke være noen rebalansering av data, så dette må en ta seg av selv. Fordelen er jo at kommandoen er ferdig på sekunder og plassen kan utnyttes umiddelbart.

Først kjørte jeg kommandoen med oppsjonen “-n” for å være sikker på at den var korrekt.

would update 'tank' to the following configuration:

Ser riktig ut, så da kjører vi kommandoen.

Utvide mdadm RAID10

Leave a reply

Det var litt lite informasjon via google om dette var støttet. Men det viser seg etter litt graving at dette går fint så lenge RAID10 settet er opprettet via mdadm 3.3

Selve utvidelsen er rimelig rett frem.

ODROID-C1 NTP Server

2 Replies

odroidc1-gpsBased on the gps receiver from hab supplies, the work of jgilje and debian jessie I have been able to compile a minimal image which can work as a Stratum-1 ntp server.

The image itself is ~90MB compressed, and contains a minimal installation of debian jessie, kernel from hardkernel with the pps-gpio patch from jgilje. ntp package was recompiled and is held from future updates. ntpd is preconfigured to use NMEA(127.127.20.0) driver with PPS sync. And udev rules to create the apropriate devices for ntpd to use. I also removed all of the dvb drivers in the kernel provided by hardkernel.

odroidc1-gps1If you want to relocate the PPS signal to a different gpio pin, this can be done by altering the meson8b_odroidc.dts file and compiling it to an apropriate .dtb file.

Image can be written to memory card using win32diskimager or dd, it will use dhcp for network configuration. Only user enabled is root with the password root. Framebuffer should also work, so you can connect it to a screen and configure it locally.

Things to do at first boot. Use fdisk to delete partition 2, and recreate the partition with the same size as the sd-card. Then resize the root partition.

Please note that on cold boot, it will take some time to lock onto the PPS.
