Mysensors Gateway on OrangePi (Zero) (opi)

Tag

Unfortunately the mysgw software does not run native on the OPI systems at this moment.The only option today is to add an arduino to the USB port running i.e the serial gateway sketch (if you do not want to use the USB port, an other option would be using an UART trough the GPIO header, you data will show up on i.e. /dev/ttyS1 if UART 1 is used)

step 2 will be to install controller software.
(i tested MyController on the OPI and that works like a charm, and looks pretty cool!)

See this link on how to build a serial gateway on the arduino. Using this setup you can follow the RaspberryPI tutorials.

Hopefully mysgw will run soon on the OrangePI systems! think this is work in progress......

I'm trying to add support for Orange Pi to MySensors, this is the work-in-progress repository:
https://github.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/tree/spidev

It would be great if someone could test and submit results from the configure and make commands:

git clone https://github.com/marceloaqno/MySensors marceloaqno-spidev
cd marceloaqno-spidev
git checkout spidev
./configure
make

@marceloaqno

Just hooked up a radio to the GPIO header. (used this link for the model 1 RPI https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry and attached the interrupt pin also to pin 15)

This is the result i get
root@orangepizero:~/marceloaqno-spidev/bin# mysgw
mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta
mysgw: Could not open /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/direction

@Tag Great! The mapping of the physical GPIO number in OrangePi is not ready yet, so you need to figure out the correct value for the CE and CSN pins by adding this to the examples_linux/mysgw.cpp or MyConfig.h

#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN X
#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN Y

This is the best pinout image I've found that could help:
https://oshlab.com/orange-pi-zero-pinout/

This may also give you some hint:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio

marceloaqno

@Tag Maybe this one can help too:
http://orange314.com/WiringOP

marceloaqno

@Tag also, please don't set the interrupt pin for now.

marceloaqno

@Tag I found more information on the wiki page about the gpio pins:
http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO

It seems that there is a calculation to be made to know which number to use :scream:

@marceloaqno

Hi!!, many thanks for the info!! really helpful!
Made some progress. first I created this table based on this page: http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO

Pin - Num - Name - Calculated value A=1 ((1-1)*32 + Pin)
CE / 22 / PA02 / 2
SCK / 23 / PA14 / 14
MISO / 21 / PA16 / 16
CSN / 24 / PA13 / 13
MOSI / 19 / PA15 / 15

Now it is important that you know which kernel is used on your systems the 4.x architecture is different compared to the 3.x arch...

If the 4.x kernel is used you need to use the calculated value for the GPIO pin numbering, i could not test that since I am using the 3.x kernel, so this is what i did:

load the GPIO kernel module:

modprobe gpio-sunxi

Create the GPIO device files since these were not available on my system by default.

for A in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12; do echo "$A" > /sys/class/gpio/export ; done

This created the following entries in /sys/class/gpio

root@orangepizero:~/marceloaqno-spidev/bin# ls -l /sys/class/gpio

Modified mysgw.cpp to use:

#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 2
#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 13

And did a clean build:

make clean
./configure
make

Now some thing has changed! :)

Will do some more testing with an LED today see if the GPIO pin numbering that was created is okay,

will keep you posted!:

@marceloaqno
Did some testing,

Setup the GPIO pins:

modprobe gpio-sunxi

for A in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 
do echo "$A" > /sys/class/gpio/export
done

(The device files that are created by the commands above do not survive a reboot, so remember to execute the above commands after each reboot!)

Hooked up an led between ground and i.e. pin 22, this pin is linked to GPIO2

Then:

echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2/value
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2/value

And eureka!! Led went on and off :D

Did this for all GPIO ports used by mysgw, below is the verified pin / GPIO table

Pin#  -  GPIO / NRF24 
22 - GPIO2   / CE
23 - GPIO14  / SCK
21 - GPIO16  / MISO
24 - GPIO13  / CSN
19 - GPIO15  / MOSI

Tested all pins and led went on and off on all

How i connected the radio: https://www.mysensors.org/build/raspberry (see the Pi1 part)
How to setup GPIO: http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO (3.x kernel part, and added pin 13/14/15/16)
Pinout for the OPI Zero: https://i1.wp.com/oshlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Orange-Pi-Zero-Pinout-banner2.jpg?fit=1200%2C628&ssl=1 (carefully look at the pin numbering!)

Maybe it is usefull, I rebuild mysgw with NRF24 radio debugging enabled, this is the output I get:

MOSI / 19 / PA15 / 495

Are you sure this is correct?
The formula is: (position of letter in alphabet - 1) * 32 + pin number
For PA02 for instance the correct value is:
PA02 = (1 - 1) * 32 + 02 = 2

Actually you don't need to use the formula at all with the PA ports, all you have to do is use the trailing number.

@mihai.aldea

You are right, took the letter P, which is 16.... but is should have been A.... (for the 4.x kernel)
Updated the table!,

Thx!!

i want build a gateway with orangepi one with channel 0 . what am i do ? thank you

marceloaqno

@Reza You need to run:

modprobe gpio-sunxi

so that /sys/class/gpio/export is created.

@Tag Does the TMRh20 works in the way your radio is currently connected?

Tag

@marceloaqno
The library compiled, but unfortunately i cannot get the examples for linux working.
need to edit i.e. gettingstarted.cpp with the correct pin setting, have tried a lot, but either it says that the radio is not connected, and if used with incorrect settings it will not compile at all....

Maybe someone following this thread who has experince with this lib?
if there is any progress from my side will keep you posted...

If you used this wiring scheme:

nRF24L01 | Orange Pi
_________|________________
VCC      | VCC3V3-EXT
GND      | GND
CSN      | SPI0_CS0 (SPI-CE0)
CE       | PA7 (IO-7)
MOSI     | SPI0_MOSI (SPI-MOSI)
SCK      | SPI0_CLK (SPI-CLK)
MISO     | SPI0_MISO (SPI-MISO)

Then you should initialize the radio with:

RF24 radio(7,0);

Worked for me:

@mihai.aldea Could you try the repo I'm working on (https://github.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/tree/spidev marceloaqno-spidev) adding your settings to the examples_linux/mysgw.cpp?

#define MY_RF24_CE_PIN 7
#define MY_RF24_CS_PIN 0

@mihai.aldea

Hmmm.... checked the docs again and guess what. the 26 pin header on the OPI Zero has SPI1.... instead of SPI0

Expansion Port

The Orange Pi Zero has a 26-pin, 0.1" unpopulated connector with several low-speed interfaces.
2x13 Header
1	3.3V	           2	5V
3	TWI0_SDA / PA12	   4	5V
5	TWI0_SCK / PA11	   6	GND
7	PWM1 / PA06	       8	UART1_TX / PG06
9	GND	               10	UART1_RX / PG07
11	UART2_RX / PA01	   12	SIM_CLK/PA_EINT7 / PA07
13	UART2_TX / PA00	   14	GND
15	UART2_CTS / PA03   16	TWI1-SDA / PA19
17	3.3V	           18	TWI1-SCK / PA18
19	SPI1_MOSI / PA15   20	GND
21	SPI1_MISO / PA16   22	UART2_RTS / PA02
23	SPI1_CLK / PA14    24	SPI1_CS / PA13
25	GND	               26	SIM_DET/PA_EINT10 / PA10

From http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero
If i look at /dev I only see spi0, which is most probably used for the onboard flash...

root@orangepizero:/# ll /dev | grep -i spi
crw------- 1 root root    153,   0 Jan  8 11:12 spidev0.0

So now i need to figure out a way to get SPI1 up and running
