Heyu on FBF 7140

[talkeasy]

Apologies first for not speaking German.

Can you please explain how I can install Heyu (www.heyu.org) on my Fritzbox 7140? I do not wish to modify the firmware but I understand from reading through the forums, using Google Translate, that I can use a cross-compiler to create files I can add to the USB drive. Has anyone done this before or give me some (simple!) pointers, please?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

there are some hints in the wiki, but I will try to repeat them here. First you need a crosscompiler and then some small modifications to the "Configure" (or the resulting Makefile) to use the cross-compiler instead of the local compiler:

# first cd <source-dir of heyu>
# add cross-compiler to path 
PATH=~/freetz/trunk/toolchain/target/bin/:$PATH
# add own settings to "Configure" script
patch -p0 < mipsel_diff
#
# now configure and build binary
#
./Configure mipsel_linux
LDFLAGS=-static make
mipsel-linux-strip heyu

You will find a patch and the resulting binary as an attachment.

I have no clue, what the program does, but it seems to work ;-):

Joerg

Thank-you very much for taking the time to reply and explain what to do. I will be trying the attached binary tomorrow and will report back.

You have been very helpful!

 

[talkeasy]

The binary is working fine - which is great.

However, heyu is an X10 automation controller and needs to write to ttyS0.
On starting Heyu I get the error:

HEYU: Can't open tty line.  Check the permissions.

When I try to change the permissions on ttyS0 I get this error message:

# chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0
chmod: /dev/ttyS0: Read-only file system

I am now stuck! Any ideas how to resolve this, please?

 

[lxuser]

Hello,

do you want to use the internal seriall port (ttyS0) with the 3,3V Level? On this seriall port there are also system messages and the possibility to use it as terminal. Maybe you should stop this before using it by heyu.

But on your 7140 with USB Host i would prefer to use a USB2seriall-converter. If you need TTL- or-3,3V-Level and RS and TS are enough, you can use a cheap handy-cable for it.
In freetz there are the needed kernel moduls (usb_serial.ko, pl2303, ftdi_sio.ko) included.

Mario

 

[talkeasy]

Thanks for the reply Mario.

I am not sure I understand all your suggestions, but thanks for making them!

Firstly, I need to know if it is possible to make ttyS0 readable? Is it possible to get root access to do this?

Thank-you.

 

[lxuser]

Maybe this explain you that the internal seriall port is used although from the firmware for messanges and as terminal:
http://translate.google.de/translat...38&highlight=ttyS0&sl=de&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8
In this thread is a solution to free the internal port from this. But you need freetz for this solution.
But i would still prefer to use freetz and a USB2seriall-converter -> ttyUSB0.

Mario

 

[talkeasy]

Heyu communicates with a CM11A computer interface to send and receive X10 control signals using USB.

It appears there is no easy way to write to ttyS0 from what you say.

Unfortunately it looks as if this project is beyond my skills. Thanks for your help.

 

[lxuser]

Heyu communicates with a CM11A computer interface to send and receive X10 control signals using USB.

So you want to connect your Interface with the USB Host of your Fritzbox 7140?
Yes? Then ttyS0 is wrong. This is the internal serial port inside the Fritzbox.

It seems like your USB-Adapter uses a internal USB2serial-chipset. So you have to use ttyUSB0. For this chipset you need the right kernel moduls.

In freetz there are the needed kernel moduls (usb_serial.ko, pl2303, ftdi_sio.ko) included.

Did you tested Heyu with your adapter before with a PC or laptop with linux before?
Try this with and without your adapter connected to this PC

lsusb

and post the output here.

Thanks for your persistance!

Without x10 controller:
debian40server:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

With x10 controller:
debian40server:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 6547:0232
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0002
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Does that help? I am also including a screenprint from the vmware session, showing when the x10 controller is connected and disconnected.

Thank-you very much!

 

[lxuser]

You see, here it is also ttyUSB0.

But its a pitty the kernel moduls seems not to be in freetz. Maybe somebody with better skills can compile it for you or integrate it in freetz. My skills in coding and compiling are still too poor and in this forum i found only this thread without an solution for the ark3116: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=151020

Maybe you ask under Freetz for an integration of the ARK3116.

Mario

 

[talkeasy]

Well, that seems to be the end of my dream! Thanks for your suggestions Mario.

Does anyone think it will be possible to get ARK3116 and ttyUSB0 working?
