💬 Building a Orange Pi Gateway

[giran]

Hi all
I have problems with Orange zero to make it work as a MYS gateway.

What is done:

1. take Debian img from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/
2. added /dev/spidev1.0 using instructions from here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange
   So I actually see spidev1.0 in ls -l /dev/spidev*
3. wired everything up as is described here: https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange
   So everything is connected to the spi1 pins.
   I used nrf24 with a capacitor and without - same result
4. ran commands

sudo modprobe gpio-sunxi

echo "gpio-sunxi" >> /etc/modules

git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git

cd MySensors

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev1.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=13 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB020 --my-serial-baudrate=115200

sudo make

sudo make install

sudo systemctl enable mysgw.service
sudo systemctl start mysgw.service

sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

And I see failed logs

mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG----,VER=2.2.0-beta
mysgw: TSM:INIT
mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:CNT=1
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:PDT
mysgw: TSM:FAIL:RE-INIT
mysgw: TSM:INIT
....

Has anyone set it up for Zero?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

@giran hi i don't think you can run the service and the binary standalone at the same time since hardware access is exclusive. Try to stop the service and then run the binary again.

[giran]

@pansen Thanks for answering.
Even when I stopped the service
or when I run

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev1.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=13 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB020 --my-serial-baudrate=115200

sudo make

sudo ./bin/mysgw -d

I still see failed logs.

@giran Hi, how did you connect you NRF module on the Orange PI ?
Is you use the GPIO, you should'nt use TTY stup for MuSensors.

Look above my setup in this forum, if you use the GPIO.

Regards.

[giran]

@SdeWeb Just a minute ago everything worked )) With all steps I described, instead of the 1st one.
I faced with issues when I installed Debian Jessie (https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/)
but when I tried Ubuntu Xential - everything worked!

By using this img time to time my OrangeZero stops to respond. I'll investigate this later.

But for now I'm happy I set up MYS.
Thanks everyone who was trying to help. And I believe someone would find this post useful, with trying another img.

Support for RFM69 has been added, check the build guide for more information.

Hi, everyone

I hope someone can help me, I'm lost trying to wrap my head around the proper pin numbers. I'm using a 433MHz RFM69 connected to an OrangePi PC with this configuration:

   OPI PC <-----------> RFM69
17 / 3.3V <-----------> VCC
 19 / PC0 <-----------> MOSI
 21 / PC1 <-----------> MISO
 22 / PA2 <-----------> DI00
 23 / PC2 <-----------> SCK
 24 / PC3 <-----------> NSS
 25 / GND <-----------> GND

Pin codes were taken from this picture:

I have the most recent version of the code in the development branch:

fanta@orangepipc:~/MySensors$ git status
On branch development
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/development'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean
fanta@orangepipc:~/MySensors$ git log --pretty=format:'%h' -n 1

Although the OrangePi PC apparently does not use spidev0.0 for NAND flash like the Zero, I ended up changing the FEX. This is my current state:

I'm trying to compile an MQTT gateway, so my configure line is:

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-rfm69-irq-pin=10 --my-rfm69-cs-pin=20 --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=433 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mygateway1 --extra-cxxflags="-DMY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69"

And here is the core of my problem - which values to use for IRQ pin and CS pin. If I use 10 for IRQ. I compile with no problems, but when I run

sudo bin/mysgw -d

I get:

So I tried --my-rfm69-irq-pin=2 --my-rfm69-cs-pin=67 as well, but I run into the same problem with pin 2.

Can anyone help me find out which pin numbers to use?

Thanks in advance!

[pansen]

@awilner I am in a hurry right now so I cannot go through what you wrote in detail, but maybe my post about pin numbering can help you: https://forum.mysensors.org/post/58309 It is related to an OPi Plus2e using nrf24 but the numbering formulas should still be valid.

Good luck!

[awilner]

@pansen , Thank you so much!!! I managed to find two pins that didn't give me this error, PA11 and PA12, and now at least the chip configuration and communication apparently works.

[8667]

I wanted to build MQTT client gateway with whitelisting and encryption + 3 LEDs with Arduino UNO and Ethernet shield but it does not have enough memory.

Before going to Arduino MEGA I found this and I think this will be a better way to do it. Smaller, cheaper..just not sure if it has all the options. Can someone confirm? Whitelisting will be easier then reflashing Arduino all the time too.

I plan to use Orange Pi Zero H2+ Quad Core 256MB

[pansen]

If your conditions are

• 3 LEDs: yes through GPIO
• Ethernet: yes (d'uh)
• beefy enough for software encryption: I guess? For an IoT-low data rate scenario for sure

I'm running armbian on my Orange Pi and setting up mosquitto is a breeze. But you don't need a broker right? Don't forget you need an SD card on top and more power.

[8667]

Thanks, I already have a broker and OpenHAB. Want this gateway to act as a client....maybe it will even support SSL MQTT. And encryption with

#define MY_RF24_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION is wanted.

In the article, there is no list of all available configurations...yea adding SD card does not make it cheaper

[pansen]

i'm sorry, i do not have experience with encryption. essentially it depends on the code you want to write, since on the pi you are kind of limited to scripting, whereas microcontroller code is closer to hardware. also, if you need things like an adc or spi you're better of with a microcontroller. if it's just about some LEDs lighting up..

Did you miss this or is there something I'm not understanding?

@BAsavaraj004 could you describe what you did when you got that error?

@mfalkvidd
When I executed sudo ./bin/mysgw -d this command after that i'm facing error like :

I followed all the steps provide in the site but still I am getting error.

[mfalkvidd]

@BAsavaraj004 thanks. Earlier posts indicate that the "Could not open" error could be caused by a problem with the pin mapping. I don't have an OrangePi myself so I don't know the details but maybe these posts can help:

Hi,
Well done finally i used the dedicated .fex file for Orange Pi Plus 2E here :
https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus_2E#Expansion_Port

at this point :
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/orangepiplus2e.fex

Read the .fex file in a text editor, u'll see important things about "gpio_config" for H3 cpu :

; NOTE: This section is necessary only for "gpio_sunxi" driver
; which is obsolete for H3 boards
[gpio_para]
gpio_used = 0
gpio_num = 0

I connected my NRF24L01 on OPI P2E like this :

NRF24L01 Port Name / (Pin N°) ----- OPI Port (Pin N°) / Name
                      GND (1)  <-----------> (20) / GND
                      VCC (2)  <-----------> (17) / 3.3V PWR
                      CE (3)   <-----------> (22) / (PA2 / GPIO2)
                      CSN (4)  <-----------> (24) / (PC3 / GPIO67)
                      SCK (5)  <-----------> (23)
                      MOSI (6) <-----------> (19) MOSI
                      MISO (7) <-----------> (21) MISO
                      IRQ (8)  <-----------> NC

So "MySensors" setup is :

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=67

Then

./bin/mysgw -d

Return :

root@orangepiplus2e:~/MySensors# ./bin/mysgw -d
mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.2.0-beta

mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED
mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003
mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1

Best.
Seb.

This worked great on my Orange Pi Lite.
I was trying to follow the tutorial at Building a Orange Pi Gateway and I tried all sorts of things that didn't work.
IMO the main tutorial should have this as instruction to building a gateway with Orange Pi Lite/Plus.
Thanks!!
( Sorry for quoting the entire original post, but this will help anyone searching for help with their Orange Pi Lite)

[8667]

I got the OrangeZero and was building the configuration command... can someone provide me more detailed instructions about using higher security?

1. Is it possible to use SSL for the connecting to the broker?
2. How whitelisting works with Pi? I moved away of Arduino as I do not want to recompile it everytime I need to include new node. So far I have

-my-signing-request-signatures --my-signing-debug --my-signing=password --my-signing-password=SOMETHING --my-rf24-encryption-enabled

but this will not allow me to exclude stolen nodes right?

[Anticimex]

@8667 no, it won't. As it is for the moment, whitelisting works no different compared to Arduino based devices. You will have to recompile your GW if you add new nodes as you will need to add their serials to the whitelist in the GW.

So how personalization works on the orange and how to pass the list of serials?

[Anticimex]

@8667 not sure. I have not been involved in the rPi port. I suggest you pass --help to the configure command. It should give a list of options.

@8667 if there is no option for the whitelist, you should still be able to set it using the same #define as mentioned in the signing documentation. The implementation is shared.
It makes sense to keep it like that since the list could be quite long.

Hello! I followed instructions by SdeWeb on my Orange Pi Lite with Armbian, and gateway is working fine, I can see debug messages from other node. But when I try to add a serial port in node-red I can't find the gateway one. Can you help me?

[Ricardo Ribeiro]

FYI i configure like this:
./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=67 --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyUSB10 --my-serial-baudrate=115200

[8667]

NOTE for Armbian and Orange Pi Zero.

Set static IP address or the device will lose connection on next DHCP request. I use only the LAN and was having problems for few days.

[mfalkvidd]

@8667 I didn't know it was possibe to set ip address for the Pi gateway. How did you do that?

[SdeWeb]

Hi,
You should set your gateway as a ethernet / network gateway. By default, it run on port 5003 (ex : [gwipadresse]:5003.
If you controler is hosted on the same machine that the gateway, then you can call the ip adresse : 127.0.0.1:5003. (the localhost adress) whatever the real IP adresse of your PI.
if you got a good router on u'r network, that it running DHCP server and give IP adresses of your devices on the network, then you can define static IP adresse for the MAC adresse of your PI.

Regards.

[mfalkvidd]

@Ricardo-Ribeiro that looks normal. Is this different from what you expected? If so, how does it differ?

[8667]

Had anyone succeeded using signing+encryption on OrangePi MQTT gateway? I managed to make Arduino gateway and it worked but I can not replicate the same thing with Pi. What file should be edited to enter the keys? and the whitelist?

[pii]

Am getting this error:

@pii

• Does /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/direction exists?
• Does /sys/class/gpio/gpio24 exists?
• Can you write to them using echo?

[pii]

@pansen No.... nothing... /sys/class/gpio/gpio24doesn't exist.
even "echo "24" > /sys/class/gpio/export doesn't work.
But, yes otherwise if I try the same with 13 i.e "echo "13" > /sys/class/gpio/export Then a directory is created and then /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/direction do exist.

[pii]

@pansen Thank you sooooooo much for your reply.!!! By the way, What I actually have to do is "Make an MQTT based LoRa(RA-02) receiver gateway on OrangePi Zero". And I'm stuck since whole week of course spent time trying code without solid base.
Yes, yet I'm trying to first set up a LoRa receiver(not MQTT, not gateway)

[marceloaqno]

@pii --my-rfm95-cs-pin and --my-rfm95-irq-pin options are not currently supported by the configure script.
Until we fix this, could you please try adding the following to your examples_linux/mysgw.cpp (before the #include <MySensors.h>)

#define MY_RFM95_CS_PIN 13
#define MY_RFM95_IRQ_PIN 10
#define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY RFM95_915MHZ

and run the make command again.

[pii]

@marceloaqno said in Building a Orange Pi Gateway:

#define MY_RFM95_CS_PIN 13
#define MY_RFM95_IRQ_PIN 10
#define MY_RFM95_FREQUENCY RFM95_915MHZ

Thank you sooo much. I just did this. But, Now got a new error.

 ERROR Could not open /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/direction

and when I tried to export pin 10 it says:

:/sys/class/gpio# echo '10' > export
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

Though yes still I'm able to export/unexport pin 13(just for testing)

[vladikoms]

@pii Try my library for Orange Pi Zero and Semtech SX1278 radio (RA-02 module)

[marceloaqno]

@pii Try to connect the IRQ pin from the radio to another GPIO on your Orange Pi, for example the GPIO2.

#define MY_RFM95_IRQ_PIN 2

[ghck]

There is an issue now with spi interfaces. With the current armbian image we are stuck at the prepare the system part, no /dev/spidev* available, the old method does not work. (There is no /boot/script.bin file, for example.) Does anyone know the solution, could this guide be updated, please?

[ghck]

[Roman]

Hi!

Installation instructions will be adjusted for Armbian Stretch?

[giaco456]

I have Mysensors running with nrf24 , I wanted to upgrade Armbian to the latest Stretch. I configured DT overlays by adding

verbosity=1
console=serial
overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3
rootdev=UUID=bd0ded76-1188-4b52-a20a-64f326c1f193
rootfstype=ext4
overlays=w1-gpio uart1 i2c0 spi-spidev
param_w1_pin=PA20
param_w1_pin_int_pullup=1
param_uart1_rtscts=1
param_spidev_spi_bus=0

to /boot/armbianEnv.txt. I had spidev working, but not the mysgw. It doidn't give me errors, but i was stuck at !TSM:INIT:TSP FAIL.
Maybe the problem is that there is no gpio-sunxi in Stretch... I have no idea.

By the way, i noticed that the new version of Mysensors calls nrf24 transport differently, it is now called --my-transport=rf24.
Please update the guide for Armbian Stretch.

[Roman]

Made fix for Armbian Stretch https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/pull/1200.
my settings: /boot/armbianEnv.txt

cd MySensors
and further on the instructions

[pansen]

Hi,

for anyone creating a gateway on an Orange Pi PC using armbian mainline (4.x Kernel): The fex modifications are not necessary any more. As noted before by @Roman, the device tree needs to be modified.

If you use the exact same pins as in this guide for the Orange Pi PC, SPI0 needs to be activated instead of SPI1. (Pi Zero and PC are kind of pin compatible, but Zero only has SPI1 routed to the header, whereas the same pins on the PC have SPI0. On top, the Orange Pi PC also has SPI1 but on other pins):

verbosity=1
logo=disabled
console=both
disp_mode=1920x1080p60
overlay_prefix=sun8i-h3
overlays=w1-gpio uart1 spi-spidev spi-add-cs1
param_spidev_spi_bus=0
param_spidev_spi_cs=0
rootdev=<removed>
rootfstype=ext4
usbstoragequirks=<removed>

Attention: Header pin 26 is different between Pi PC and Pi Zero. On the zero it is PA10 but on the PC it is PA21. I connected the interrupt pin of the nrf24 like in the guide (header pin 26) and changed the configure command accordingly.

So the full command to use SPI0 and the interrupt connected to header pin 26 of the Orange Pi PC is:

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=rf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=13 --my-rf24-irq-pin=21 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1 --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=mysensors-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=mysensors-in --my-mqtt-client-id=mysensors

The rest of the guide is still valid, except that the transport is now called "rf24" instead of "nrf24". @mfalkvidd can you correct this maybe? Also, the -d switch seems to be not existing any more.

[pansen]

This post is deleted!

[mfalkvidd]

Thanks @pansen. I have replaced nrf24 with rf24 for all commands on the page and removed the -d option.

[OldSurferDude]

I saw this page and thought I give it a go. So I bought two OrangePi Zero 2. There's a lot of potential (WiFi) as a dedicated gateway. Currently the price is about US$20 on AliExpress (caveat emptor) There are a few flavors of Linux for it. I've dabbled with Armbian, Ubuntu and Debian

Another upside is that it doesn't draw a lot of current ~0.5A, though I haven't been successful in getting the radio to run (the reason for me being here) This is also a downside as I suspect the power supply needs to be very close to 5V. Thinking it was a power hog like the RPi, I used a 5V-3A supply. This supply operates on the principle that the load will pull down the voltage. There are dire warnings on the orangepi page about using cheap SD cards, but failed to mention that power supplies have to be matched, too.

It has a different CPU than the Orange Pi Zero non-2, the board that is used here.

Use the serial interface to configure the board. You're going to be doing all your configuration in a terminal, anyway, so you don't need a monitor or a keyboard. https://www.instructables.com/Setup-Orange-Pi-Using-Serial-Port/

The big downside is that the SPI interface is not supported. My research indicates that in order to get it to work one must jump through some serious hoops and being low on the learning curve, those hoops are probably out of my reach. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/21688-tips-on-configuring-double-spi-through-two-chipselects-on-orange-pi-zero-2/

The armbian OS has another big downside, WiFi is not supported. Putting a TP-Link nano router configured as a client works, but it's another $30! Why did they even release the OS?

So! Was anyone successful in getting the Orange Pi Zero 2 configured as a gateway?
