install lora-packet-forwarder-usb *.ipk

[mahshad.parsa@gmail.com]

Hello,

I upgraded the mLinux firmware of our Multitech mconduit to the 4.0.1 following the steps defined in the page “Flashing mLinux Firmware”
I edit /var/config/lora/global_conf.json and /opt/lora/local_conf.json according to the follow link:

Conduit mLinux: Convert to Basic Packet Forwarder

I edit server_address, serv_port_up,serv_port_down.
Then I changed conduit mode to packet forwarder mode as follow:
update-rc.d lora-packet-forwarder defaults 80 30
sudo /etc/init.d/lora-network-server stop
sudo nano /etc/default/lora-network-server => ENABLED=”no”
sudo nano /etc/default/lora-packet-forwarder => ENABLED=”yes”
sudo /etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder start

Now, I want to install latest version of lora-packet-forwarder-usb *.ipk acording to the following link:
https://www.loraserver.io/lora-gateway-bridge/install/gateway/multitech/
from
https://artifacts.loraserver.io/vendor/multitech/conduit/

product-id if our conduit is MTAC-LORA-868.

wget https://artifacts.loraserver.io/vendor/multitech/conduit/lora-packet-forwarder-usb_1.4.1-r2.0_arm926ejste.ipk

I install lora-packet-forwarder-usb by following command:
opkg install lora-packet-forwarder-usb_1.4.1-r2.0_arm926ejste.ipk

when I want to start /etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder-usb, it says that command not found !! when i checked following path, I understood that /etc/init.d/ path, include lora-packet-forwarder, by it have not lora-packet-forwarder-usb!!

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards

Does /etc/init.d/lora-packet-forwarder-usb have execute permissions?

# ls -lah /etc/init.d

Also contact forum on at loraserver.io, if things are not working or there are issues with documentation they would want to know.

Hello, I’d like to introduce the following question:
Following the guide http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/lora/conduit-mlinux-convert-to-basic-packet-forwarder/ in the point
Conduit IP67 with v2.1 Gateway Card
See /opt/lora/ directory for example config files
I can’t see that directory inside my /opt/ file there are only the lora-gateway-bridge and lora-packet-forwarder-usb files that were the .ipk packages I installed, should I be able to see /opt/lora Should I be able to install any .ipk packages ?

[Jason Reiss]

The mlinux factory images should include the packet forwarder binaries for v1.0 USB, v1.5 SPI and v2.1 gateway cards.

If the minimal image was installed these packages can be added using opkg. With a connection to the Internet available to the device.

# opkg update
# opkg install lora-packet-forwarder-geolocation

See available packages for each version in the feeds directory http://www.multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/

The /etc/opkg/mlinux-feed.conf file on Conduit points the opkg utility to a specific folder within feeds.

Oh! this seems to solve my problem, I have gone to the following link http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/mlinux-building-images/building-a-custom-linux-image/ because I would like to restore a factory image, for this I have gone to http://www.multitech.net/developer/downloads/ and downloaded mlinux-4.0.1.tar.gz , I read in the following steps that what I should do would be as follows:

$ cd mlinux-4.0.1
$ ROOT_PASSWORD=”mypassword” ./setup.sh
source env-oe.sh
$ bitbake mlinux-factory-image

Am I right? Do you need an internet connection?

Please help me I’ve been struggling with a problem for some time and now it turns out that I had a base-minimal image, the pre-installed in the factory image would solve all my problems.

Thank you

I have found another way to restore my IP67 conduit (MTCDTIP Series) to factory condition.

mkdir /var/volatile/flash-upgrade
cd /var/volatile/flash-upgrade
wget -O uImage.bin http://www.multitech.net/mlinux/images/mtcdt/4.0.1/uImage–3.12.70-r20.2-mtcdt-20180620182056.bin
wget -O rootfs.jffs2 http://www.multitech.net/mlinux/images/mtcdt/4.0.1/mlinux-factory-image-mtcdt-20180620182056.rootfs.jffs2
touch /var/volatile/do_flash_upgrade
reboot

Would this restart my multitech to the factory image and include the packet forwarding binaries for v1.0 USB, v1.5 SPI and v2.1 gateway cards I need?

Thank you for everything in advance.
