Boblight for Fritzbox?

[temmi2000]

Hello everyone,
would it be possible to include/ add boblight as an addon?
It is a server for ambilight output
it´s available for OpenWRT now, you can see the Makefile here:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/utils/boblight/Makefile?rev=30608
or is there another easy way to get this going on my Fritzbox?
Thanks in advance

[temmi2000]

wow, that was fast i simply have to add it with patch -p0?
thx for your work.

 

[sf3978]

i simply have to add it with patch -p0?

Yes, ... from the trunk directory.

 patch -p0 < boblight_r_417.patch.txt

and then

 make boblight-precompiled

 

[temmi2000]

ok, that worked, thanks. is it now integrated in the firmware image?
will it autostart when i restart the router?

make boblight-precompiled

Does only compile the binary, you will first have to execute

make menuconfig

, select the Package in the Package list and finally execute

make

to create an new image that you can flash to your fritzbox. And it seems that in sf's package isnt an webinterface or init script, that means that you will have configure it by yourself and than execute it from the console.
Finally no, it will not start automatically, you will have to do it by the console every time the box reboots or you can create an little script (add it to your rc.custom) that will start boblight for you

 

[temmi2000]

I cannot find the package, went through all categories, but no success.
or does it have a cryptic name?

 

[sf3978]

is it now integrated in the firmware image?

Please post the output of

 ls -l build/modified/filesystem/usr/bin | grep boblight

from your build system.

will it autostart when i restart the router?

No, it won't autostart. For autostart you need a start-stop-script in /etc/init.d

 

[linuxkasten]

No, you have to add the Package to the menu file.
Can't remember the name right now (Config.in or Makefile.in, i think), but it's a very easy task.

 

[temmi2000]

it shows nothing.

btw, what´s the best way to transfer files to the fritzbox? or will i have to use vi?

thanks for all your help

 

[sf3978]

Add this line

 source make/boblight/Config.in

in the section "Testing" of file "make/Config.in" and this line

 source make/boblight/external.in

in the section "packages" of file "make/external.in"

 

[temmi2000]

that worked, thx. building now...

 

[temmi2000]

ok, after building the binaries are in build/modified/filesystem/usr/bin, so that seems to be ok.
how can i copy the boblight.conf now to the /etc directory and place a script in init.d ?
can i edit the filesystem before compiling? using telnet?

EDIT: is the "addon" directory what i want?

 

[sf3978]

can i edit the filesystem before compiling? using telnet?

No, you have to edit the directorysystem and the filesystem _of the package "boblight"_ in your build system, befor compiling.

 

[temmi2000]

ok i put the boblight.conf under /packages/.../boblight-r417/root/etc/
how do i put the init.d script there? also by creating a file in packages/.../boblight-r417/root/etc/init.d?
i´d have to make it executable then, right?

a simple

/usr/bin/boblightd -f &

is enough as startup script?


seems as I´m doing something wrong... the compiled image has exactly the same size than the one before..

 

[temmi2000]

do i have to edit /make/boblight/external.files ?

EDIT: tried to start boblightd via telnet, the config file is there after i inserted it before compiling.
but i get an error:

root@fritz:/var/mod/root/etc# boblightd -c /etc/boblight.conf
(InitLog)                       start of log /mod/root/.boblight/boblightd.log
(PrintFlags)                    starting boblightd -c /etc/boblight.conf
(CConfig::LoadConfigFromFile)   opening /etc/boblight.conf

(CConfig::CheckDeviceConfig)    ERROR: /etc/boblight.conf no devices defined
(CConfig::CheckColorConfig)     ERROR: /etc/boblight.conf no colors defined
(CConfig::CheckLightConfig)     ERROR: /etc/boblight.conf no lights defined

the .conf file is correct, i can see that with vi.

btw will i have to use ttyACM0 oder ttyS0 to access the usb port?

 

[temmi2000]

I´m confused now... what´s the right place for boblight.conf?

/etc?
/mod/root/etc?
/var/mod/root/etc/?
/var/mod/etc?

 

[sf3978]

The right place is:

 /var/tmp/boblight

 

[temmi2000]

The right place is:

 /var/tmp/boblight

ok, i logged into my router via telnet and copied /etc/boblight.conf to /var/tmp/boblight/
that should be correct?
still getting the same output when executing boblightd...

 

[temmi2000]

i even get those errors when running boblightd with the sample config.

root@fritz:/var/tmp/boblight# boblightd -f -c /var/tmp/boblight/sample_boblight.conf
