This is the initial support for Linux/RaspberryPi for the 2.0:
https://github.com/marceloaqno/Arduino/tree/dev-raspberrypi

Supports:

• RF24 radio
• Ethernet gateway
• Store "eeprom" to a file (thanks to @aaron832 )
• MQTT (thanks to @aaron832 )
• Can be compiled in a linux machine other than Pi

To be implemented:

• Store "eeprom" to a file
• Serial
• MQTT
• RF24 interrupts
• UDP
• Act as a client to connect to a controller

I haven't extensively test it, so there are probably some bugs. Any suggestions or ideas for improvement are welcome.

I wrote a library to be able to watch the debug messages from a ethernet gateway over Wi-Fi (or ethernet).
It opens port 2300, so you can connect with putty (change the "Connection type" to Telnet or Raw).

If anyone is interested, here is the code: https://github.com/marceloaqno/MyNetDebug

To use it, add the following lines in your sketch before MySensors.h

#include <MyNetDebug.h>
#define MY_SERIALDEVICE NetDebug

And into your loop function:

void loop()
{
  (void)NetDebug.available();
  ...

For more details, please check the examples.

@otto001 I think I found the problem. I wrote a fix for it:

Linux: Fix stability problem with ethernet

Fix a problem where mysgw stops working and consumes a lot of cpu.

In an attempt to keep mysensors/Raspberry repository in sync with mysensors/Arduino, I started a while ago working on a solution but only recently had time to finish.
I ended up with two approaches:

Place the raspberry gateway files in a directory called examples_RPi within the libraries\MySensors folder (more or less like TMRh20/RF24 does)
https://github.com/marceloaqno/Arduino/tree/raspberry-gateway

or keep the two repos and use git subtree to bind them:
https://github.com/marceloaqno/Raspberry/tree/experimental

What you guys thinks?

I'm trying to catch up with new changes into the development branch and thinking of a way to port this into it.

I created the draft for the official article: https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange

@frencho I hope to write something this weekend, at least a draft.

@raptorjr PiDome should work now (https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2389/added-support-for-local-mysensors-rpi-direct-radio-connection).

You need to add --my-serial-is-pty when running ./configure or uncomment the line #define MY_IS_SERIAL_PTY in mysGateway.cpp.

The RPi port has just received a new update that changes some important things related to the location and name of the gateway binary and services:

mysGateway was renamed to mysgw
mysgateway service was renamed to mysgw

Now, after successfully running the make command, you will find the gateway file under ./bin/mygw

Also, before installing the new version you need to manually remove the old one:

If you are using systemd

sudo systemctl disable mysgateway.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/mysgateway.service
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mysGateway

If you are using sysvinit

sudo update-rc.d -f mysgateway remove
sudo rm /etc/init.d/mysgateway
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mysGateway

Add some options to the gateway execution:

# ./examples_linux/mysGateway -h
Usage: mysGateway [options]

Options:
-h            Display a short summary of all program options.
-d            Enable debug.
-b            Become a daemon.

Debug is now disabled by default.
You can't run it as a linux daemon if debug is enabled.
When daemonized all messages will be print to syslog.

@gohan There is a open github pull request very similar to what @macvictor proposed, but for now I recommend using the examples_linux/mysgw.cpp file.

@ricorico94 to update your install run:

sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart mysgw.service

@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

@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.

The two patches to fix ethernet stability have been merger into the development branch, and also some changes to the gateway logging. I updated the build instructions to reflect the changes.

@masmat This is my mosquitto.log

1521680648: mosquitto version 1.4.10 (build date Fri, 22 Dec 2017 08:19:25 +0000) starting

A socket error message:

1521764339: Socket error on client mygateway1, disconnecting.

shows only if I stop/exit mysgw.

@gohan Sorry to hear that, mysgw doesn't change any system files, a simple reboot and rebuild of the gateway should be enough to resume communication in a case of more serious error.

@mvader The gateway will respond with an I_VERSION every time a controller connected to port 5003 sends an I_VERSION request.

@masmat I did a test with the following configuration:

• Raspberry Pi 1 with Raspbian (2017-11-29-raspbian-stretch-lite)

  pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Raspbian
  Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch)
  Release:        9.1
  Codename:       stretch
  

• MySensors master branch - Protocol version - 2.2.0

  ./configure --my-transport=nrf24 --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=m ygateway1 --my-mqtt-user=rpi --my-mqtt-password=password
  

• Mosquitto version 1.4.10 (build date Fri, 22 Dec 2017 08:19:25 +0000) [installed from apt-get]

  pi@raspberrypi:~/MySensors $ cat /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
  # Place your local configuration in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/
  #
  # A full description of the configuration file is at
  # /usr/share/doc/mosquitto/examples/mosquitto.conf.example
  
  pid_file /var/run/mosquitto.pid
  
  persistence true
  persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/
  
  log_dest file /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log
  
  allow_anonymous false
  password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwordfile
  
  include_dir /etc/mosquitto/conf.d
  

  Added the mosquitto user (user=rpi, password=password) with:

  sudo mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwordfile rpi
  

It didn't show any error to connect to the MQTT broker:

@gieljnssns One way is to replace the changed files, in this case EthernetServer.cpp for the first patch and EthernetClient.cpp for the second patch.

You can download from:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp

Here is a step-by-step:

git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
cd MySensors
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp

from here just run ./configure with your options and then make

@masmat What is the mqtt broker / version you are using?
