Maintaining boards and users in the server

Find USB devices and serial numbers (just notes for now)

  • find /sys/devices -name "ttyUSB*" 
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/usb3/3-2/3-2.1/3-2.1:1.0/ttyUSB1/tty/ttyUSB1
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:03:00.0/usb3/3-2/3-2.1/serial
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT2232H_MiniModule_FTXK0VDJ-if01-port0
  • ls -la /dev/serial/by-id

Find network booting RPi

  1. sudo tcpdump -i enx00e04c680037 port bootpc
  2. The client asks for DHCP: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from {MAC address}.
  3. Reply should be sent by our BOOTP/DHCP server.
  4. sudo tail -F /var/log/daemon.log should show that /tftpboot/bootcode.bin cannot be found.

Prepare TFTP for RPi network boot

  1. Prepare some network boot options

    • cp -r {EMBEXP-BOX}/tools/firmware/boot_{thelatest} /tftpboot/raspbian_{thelatest}
    • cp -r {EMBEXP-BOX}/tools/firmware/custom/rpi3_jtag_aarch64 /tftpboot/
    • cp -r {EMBEXP-BOX}/tools/firmware/custom/rpi2_jtag /tftpboot/

  2. Link the boot options for the respective devices (see boxes.json file for the TFTP ids), for example:

    • ln -s /tftpboot/rpi3_jtag_aarch64 /tftpboot/79ae849b
    • ln -s /tftpboot/rpi3_jtag_aarch64 /tftpboot/ce3e32b9
    • ln -s /tftpboot/rpi3_jtag_aarch64 /tftpboot/7c648f61
    • ln -s /tftpboot/rpi2_jtag /tftpboot/08ba2f58

Prepare a new master rootfs for RPi

  1. Flash a Raspbian Lite image on an SD card.
  2. Mount it in the server with (adjust the device name) sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt.
  3. Copy it to the local rootfs master store (adjust the directory name) sudo rsync -xa --progress /mnt/ /nfs_master/raspbian_lite_2019_07_10.
  4. Unmount the SD card and remove it with sudo umount /dev/sdb2.

Prepare a derived rootfs (TBD, old notes follow)

  1. Prepare root filesystem for the client RPi3
    1. sudo mkdir /nfs/client1
    2. mount a diff filesystem
  2. Export rootfs via NFS
    1. echo "/nfs/client1 *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)" | sudo tee -a /etc/exports
  3. Use the exported rootfs for Raspbian
    1. Fix the linux boot command in /tftpboot/cmdline.txt by replacing root= to the end with root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.254:/nfs/client1,vers=3 rw ip=dhcp rootwait elevator=deadline.
    2. Fix the linux filesystem table in /nfs/client1/etc/fstab by removing the lines mentioning /dev/mmcblkp1 and /dev/mmcblkp2. Only proc should be left in this file.

Create a new user

  1. sudo adduser USERNAME
  2. sudo usermod -aG devel USERNAME
  3. sudo usermod -aG plugdev USERNAME
  4. setup ssh keys
    • ssh-copy-id "-p 4422 [email protected]", or
    • create /home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys, chmod 700 /home/USERNAME/.ssh, chmod 600 /home/USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys

Known issues

  • minimodule (JTAG/serial) communication/driver issue?
    • device cannot be found by openocd
    • lsusb -v output stutters (most likely runs into timeouts) and prints (error) where the serial number of the device is supposed to be
    • a box power down and power up and tools/usbreset solves the issue
