- Couldn't get the wifi working on my RPI3b and couldn't figure it out.
Updated all drivers, packages etc. however still not working.
Tested the RPI on the latest Rasbian, which also didn't work
So expect an hardware failure.
- Merged all this regardless.
- Kernel updated to latest 4.19 including all firmware packages
- Addition of other wifi firmwares so we can use usb dongles
- Anyhow need to buy a new RPI3b for testing the wifi drivers
- This kernel and drivers should also work on a RPI4
- System to run sccripts at the very first boot. Now currently used
only for resizing the partion using the full SD size.
- Can be expanded to run other scripts to prepare stuff at the
very first boot.
Basically a bunch of staged stuff of before the upgrade of
buildroot and mycroft. If I remember it all correctly;
- Change the folder permissions setup from device_table to
systemd.
- Remove the mycroft user setup from the mycroft.service
package into a systemwide buildroot user_table.txt
- Fix respeaker stuff for systemd system
- Fix sudo system for the mycroft user
- Allow mycroft to SSH into the system. Disallow root login.
- Probably some other fixes and tweaks I forgot about....
- This is to bring the binaries more inline with Rasbian
- This might fix#6 because of the ld-linking
- This might fix#8 because of locale support issues
Untested for the moment as a clean build takes ages again, which I
need to postpone for the moment - I do not have a beefy build machine
(anymore) at the moment.
A clean "empty splash.png at boot however the same fbv code can be
used later on in the develoment and proces to show the user where
in the boot / configuration proces we are at.
- "Connect to wifi SSID" user information for the wifi configuration
- But also possible other cofiguration step later on in the wizard
+ mycroft audio trows an error because it find the python package
therefor uses it, however pulseaudio is not there anymore.
(Leaving the buildroot-external package there is case people want
to use it, building firmwares themself)
- Adding VLC for skill that needs that.
(Not including mplayer as buildroot removed that package because
of lack of development since 2 years, MPV is the new mplayer)
- Busybox tweaks and adjustments.
(Adding pgrep because start/stop-mycroft.sh uses it. Adding other
small binaries and tweak more for speed instead of size.)
- Add Buildroot patches to downgrade / upgrade package dependencies
in line with the Mycroft A.I. software stack requirements.
- Add buildroot additional package dependencies in line with the
Mycroft A.I. software stack requirements.
- Update rpi3 defconfig file.
- Implement initial root_fs overlay filestructure.
- Addition of some quick and dirty helper scripts.
- Update of README to reflect these changes.
