Can't build librf24-bcm on Banana Pi
-
Hi !
I'm here because I have some problems with my Banana Pi.
I downloaded the Zip file on : https://github.com/mysensors/Raspberry
Read the README file and do the following step :sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade raspi-configand then enabled SPI module.
At the end of the config, an error appearedFATAL: Module spi-bcm2708 not found.I ignored this error and tried to build librf24-bcm.
cd Raspberry-Master/librf24-bcm make allthe result is
g++ -Wall -fPIC -Ofast -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -march=armv6zk -D BCM2835_PERI_BASE=0x -c RF24.cpp gcc -Wall -fPIC -Ofast -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -march=armv6zk -D BCM2835_PERI_BASE=0x -c bcm2835.c bcm2835.c: In function ‘bcm2835_init’: bcm2835.c:1207:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1208:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1209:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1210:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1211:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1212:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1213:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1214:28: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1228:83: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1232:81: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1236:81: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1239:83: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1242:83: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1246:83: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1249:83: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant bcm2835.c:1253:79: error: invalid suffix "x" on integer constant Makefile:52: recipe for target 'bcm2835.o' failed make: *** [bcm2835.o] Error 1someone has an idea ?

Banana Pi.
I think the problem is, that the banana pi uses another cpu and needs another spi driver. As the Raspberry master seems to compile against the broadcom driver there will be no easy fix for this.

Agreed ! But if I do :
sudo raspi-configIt should work ... but here, there is an error :
FATAL: Module spi-bcm2708 not found.Now, I merged these files : https://github.com/LeMaker/bcm2835_BP with mysensors Lib and it partially works. I can compile but PiGateway doesn't work ...
Nobody used a Banana Pi with mySensors before ? -
Bcm stands for Broadcom. And there is no broadcom chip in the banana pi. You need to enable spi and then customize the source and port it to the banana pi.
-
To enable SPI, I run :
sudo modprobe spi-sun7i sudo raspi-configI got :
FATAL: Module spi-bcm2708 not foundBut when I check in /dev/ SPI seems enabled
ls /dev/spi* /dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1Now, when I execute PiGatewaySerial, I have a "check wires" message. But it can still be the drivers, or maybe I plugged the NRF on the wrong SPI port ?
-
Not sure what you are going to do with raspiconfig. Just addspi-sun7i to /etc/modules. The banana pi seems to have two spi busses. Could it be you have to connect the nrf to the other one? Or change the bus in the source code if hard coded? I don't have a banana pi and never used a pi as gateway. Still I wanna help. :D
-
I'll try the second SPI bus but it seems be the good bus.
After add spi-sun7i in /etc/modules, what i'm supposed to do ? reboot ? just try to run PiGateway ? -
Nothing. It's just for automatic modprobe on boot. Does lsmos show the module as loaded?
-
the result of lsmod :
Module Size Used by spidev 6217 12 spi_sun7i 17802 0 mali_drm 2608 0 drm 209226 1 mali_drm mali 111427 0 ump 52415 1 mali -
Looks good.
-
okay thank you for your help,
i'm trying an other way to run mysensors, i'll post a fix when it works. -
I just had another look at this. There is an nrf24 library for the banana pi: https://github.com/bearpawmaxim/librf24-sunxi/tree/master/src
The raspberry gateway must be ported to this lib. Doesn't look to complicated.
