UNSOLVED Installing DSF on a Banana-Pi-M3 with Raspbian OS

A Former User

I do wget -qO - "https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg" | sudo apt-key add - which essentially does the same thing, but it seems unadvisable to add they key like that ref:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/332672/how-to-add-a-third-party-repo-and-key-in-debian/582853#582853

but i'd guess you have some sort of formatting error that causes bash to look for the url instead of passing it as a paramter to wget, how are you running the commands, copy paste, script, both?

@JayJay pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg is not a web page.

weather or not its a web page is kinda irelevant as its served by a web ~~browser~~ server and downloaded by a web client according to the instruction he listed and you linked to - but somehow OP is passing the url to bash instead of wget.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

I have tried inputing each command by manually typing each line in the terminal and I also tried copy paste and still the same occurs i will try the command you listed and see what happens.

thank you again.

JayJay

im logged in as root and if i try using the code that @bearer listed i get the following error message

gpg: key DA91C86B: no valid user IDs

if i follow the link posted by @Stephen6309 i can input the following codes successfully :

wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg
wget -q https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.list
sudo mv duet3d.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
sudo mv duet3d.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/duet3d.gpg
sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/duet3d.list

And with the code

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

It tells me everything is already the newest version

But then when i type in :

sudo apt-get update

I receive the following error message

W: GPG error: https://pkg.duet3d.com stable InRelease: Unkown error in executing gpgv

when i try to use the command

sudo apt-get install duetsoftwareframework

it reads the packing list, then builds the depeendency tree and reads the "state" information then reports the following:

Not familiar with the banana pi, can you share the output from uname -a and cat /proc/cpuinfo?

btw seems to sugget bananapi with raspios/raspbian isnt fully compatible because it works just fine on the regular pi with regular raspios:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ wget -qO - "https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg" | sudo apt-key add -
wget -qO - "https://pkg.duet3d.com/duet3d.gpg" | sudo apt-key add -
OK

The bananapi runs an ARMv7 processor, so it "should" work

Duet Software Framework resembles a collection of programs to control an attached Duet3D board from a Linux-based mini computer (SBC). Since it is using .NET Core, it requires an ARM processor that supports ARMv7 instructions processor is required

For clarity: I'm successfully running a banana-pi with DSF and i followed the guide the OP listed so im not sure why it worked for me but not him.

@CaLviNx

you say you have this running on a bananapi, would you be able to share your image if that is even possible.

A Former User

@JayJay

I'm not sure how to do that!

My banana-pi is an older M2 (says its an ARMv7 too though)

EDIT: im running Debian not raspbian (dont know if that makes a difference or not)

OS im running

@JayJay said in Installing DSF on a Banana-Pi-M3 with Raspbian OS:

Linux bpi-iot-ros-ai 3.4.39-BPI-M3-Kernel

That's not raspbian/raspios is it?

JayJay

@bearer

well im not sure what its telling you, im a new user to linux in general , I just downloaded the version of raspbian from the bananapi forum my thinking was that if I used a bananapi version of raspbian I would have a better chance of success .

Raspbian for Bpi

jay_s_uk

@JayJay you may be able to succeed with armbian

JayJay

@jay_s_uk

i will try it thank you

JayJay

So progress or a sort.

two steps forward and five back...

I installed armbian THANK YOU @jay_s_uk which successfully allowed me to install DSF.

I set the buffer size as requested, and according to the bananapi docs the M3 has the same pinout as a Rpi.

I now get a new issue !!

When I run : sudo systemctl start duetcontrolserver
It outputs the following:

Dec 20 19:30 bananapim3 DuetControlServer [724] : Started Duet control Server
Dec 20 19:30 bananapim3 DuetControlServer [724] : Duet control Server v3.1.1

And that then starts a loop

Ideas ?

A Former User

You might need the gpio library used? (Sorry can't remember the name, but if you look for the loopback test thread i think it's mentioned there).

edit: found the reference when on computer, so maybe try sudo apt-get install gpiod ?

JayJay

@bearer

I installed the library and still no go.

i invited a friend over who has a raspberry-pi (3b+) we plugged that in with a copy of official Raspbian image and that worked perfect, so i now know its not the Duet-3 .

i tried to get into armbian-config to set the spi but armbian-config->system->hardware throws up an error :

armbian-config hardware error expected at least 6 tokens for checklist have 4 use --help to list options. submodule.

JayJay

@bearer

So i got raspbian to actaully install the DSF package but i now have an error which is evidently linked to the SPI connection not being activated.

As i get the following error

[Fatal] could not connecto to Duet (error 2 cannot open GPIO device file  '/dev/gpiochip0/

I am not a linux user and I am not that good with coding so i really need a idiots step by step guide on what i need to do to enable the SPI

on the banana-pi (even with raspbian) there is NO section in raspi-config to enable the SPI

so im at a loss as to how i go about enabling it and i looked at some of the online guides on how to do this and i became very very lost as it is all greek to me.

i installed RPI.GPIO but how to actually use it and configure things again all greek to me.

is anyone able to advise ?

JayJay

Thank you to those that tried to assist.

I am somewhat dissapointed that no-one from the duet team offered any assistance whatsoever.

The only option left is to run the board in standalone mode, i dont want to go with a raspberry pi.
