Powerlink serial pinout, linux daemon and web interface

[viknet]

not really a "conflict" but the fact that you went out of memory while installing package

[belibaste]

It's seems probable.
I do receive my new MR3020 on saturday.
Today I try to use my serial/USB converter (http://cgi.ebay.fr/USB-to-Serial-Adapte ... 415d279d2b) with Powermax remote programmer software and pins like write VIKNET but the software doen't reconise my alarm.
It's seems that I do connect to the dual RS232 pins but I can't found GND pin; I see that but I don't know if it is OK

I don't understand but i need some information; you have a powermax+ or a powermax pro ?

why are you commenting about another picture see my picture at the beginning of the topic or attach a picture of your wiring (mail if required) I did put all information including where to get power, GND tx and rx remember that you have to wire tx from alarm to rx from usb ttl

[viknet]

did you install the serial driver:

Code: Select all

opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-pl2303

you also have to edit /etc/pmaxd.conf

[belibaste]

Today I received my new MR3020 (three days from AMAZ...) that's nice
Well tomorrow I will rebegin to install all the system.
I do install:
1) openwrt for MR 3020
2) lighttpd
3) xpl library
4) xpl examples and utilities (if I want)
5) pmax deamon
6) serial driver

Anything else?

[viknet]

libconfig is used, (but you noticed it)

avoid installing pmaxd at first and do some sanity check before:

with the router unplugged from the alarm:
install screen (remove it once finished to avoid taking too much memory)

test your usb TTL serial adapter,

Code: Select all

screen /dev/ttyusbX 9600

then type something on the keyboard: --> nothing display on your screen
then connect RX and TX of your dongle together (not to the alarm) and retype something : --> whatever you type is written on screen


if yes: your serial dongle is working, if not do not try to go further.

Then connect to your alarm, launch screen and try to enroll the pmax (see your pmax doc): you should see some garbage on the screen

if yes remove screen and install the pmax daemon
edit /etc/init.d/pmaxd and remove the two line "testpmaxd" this daemon reboot the router if it see no answer from pmax
kill testpmaxd if required (it wait some minutes after a reboot before trying a reboot)

modify /etc/pmaxd.conf
verify pmaxd is not running


type

Code: Select all

/bin/pmaxd -fvvvvvvvvvv

[belibaste]

All was OK since to test RS232/serial dongle.
I have only 68Kb free and Screen is 142Kb hight
I am looking for an other solution for testing but I don't find

[viknet]

list of my installed package, everything not here can probably be removed,

removed everything xpl based for testing the serial you don't need them

I compare my list of packages with yours; I have the double.
So I kill / remove a lot of them but my mr3020 doesn't was out of order; I think I delete a file that was useful.
Today I restart just on Tenet (192.168.1.1) and I am coming on the front page of OpenWRT; I was reassured.
Now, can I reinstall original TP Link firmware or reinstall OpenWRT?
Later I will install package by package, comparing with your list.

Thanks for your patience with me

[viknet]

probably one of the following :
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe

in your case probably :
rm -r /overlay/*
reboot -f

but check the whole page first

please send me the output of the "df"command
mine is:

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:~# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                    1472      1312       160  89% /

[belibaste]

This is my answer:

root@(none):/# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1536 1536 0 100% /
/dev/root 1536 1536 0 100% /
tmpfs 14580 16 14564 0% /tmp
tmpfs 512 0 512 0% /dev
root@(none):/#


I am longer from you

[viknet]

where did you get the original openwrt image, mine is from
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n
find "squashfs-factory.bin" in the page

I think yours is a bit different or I missed something,

you can also send me a screenshot when you connect using ssh, to check your version, I will send you my screenshot once I get back home

[belibaste]

Mine is this:

openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory.bin

the great difference (I haven't /dev/mtdblock3 )comes because I have deleted wrong files

Now I can't connect by ssh because I have deleted files with my password ( see first and last line: "root@(none) )

[viknet]

for information when sshing I get :

Code: Select all

BusyBox v1.19.4 (2012-05-08 19:59:09 MST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

  * 1 splash Cranberry juice
 -----------------------------------------------------

but I am afraid I can't help you more, try sorting your issues with openwrt first, then retry installing pmaxd

[viknet]

by the way try telneting instead of sshing remember that ssh is not enable at first start and until you change your password
