After a longer time of absence, i will provide some updates and some more insides of what i`m planning for the future.
So stay tuned 🙂
Cheers & have fun
Updates for my ambient tracker with Raspi2 -> Final-Release of PI-ENV_V0.0.3
There were a lot of updates over the last months and now it’s time to do a new release; PI-ENV_V0.0.3 happened today.
This is the last Release for now -> i`m not happy with the DockerPi modul
So i do not plan to develop it further.
Updates for my ambient tracker with Raspi2 -> Release of PI-ENV_V0.0.2
There were a lot of updates over the last months and now it’s time to do a new release; PI-ENV_V0.0.2 happened today.
I also had ~2 months of testing of the latest codebase, so it should work quite stable.
Updates of the images will follow in the next 1-2 days.

Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.5
Hi@all,
the release of A20_SDK_V2.9.5 happened … Don’t forget to do a make mrproper && make init_sdk … also do a make get_toolchain … it is updated to the latest void-linux versions.

An ambient tracking system with Raspi2
I started a new project to track things like temperature and more in my home and outside. My actual development environment is quite simple:
In my github repo (https://github.com/tjohann/ambient_tracking_with_raspi ) you can find more informations about it.
As always the first step is a linux image based on void-linux like in A20_SDK. You can find the tarballs on sourceforge. To make it easy, you also find the already known helper tools in the script folder.
The software will have at least 3 different compoments, one for the LCD handling, one for the SensorHub handling and one which brings it all together.
Now i start to prepare the LCD stuff. So stay tuned.
Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.4
Hi@all,
the release of A20_SDK_V2.9.4 happened … Don’t forget to do a make mrproper && make init_sdk … also do a make get_toolchain … it is updated to the latest void-linux versions.
Note, that i deprecate some devices, namely Nanopi, Bananapi-Pro and the Olimex. The reason is, that they have contact looses and/or already died.
Also Note, that there`s no base and full image anymore, but not all scripts are fully migrated. As a workaround i would suggest to name the rootfs tarball you want (for example a20_sdk_musl_rootfs.tgz) to a20_sdk_rootfs.tgz and then use a20_sdk_make_sdcard.sh as always. This will be fixed with the next release!

A minmal A20 image
I started a new project with an minimal a20 image with non „mainstream“ components … see https://github.com/tjohann/a20_minimum_buildroot_dev … for example use musl, OpenRC, toybox …
Lets see if its works 🙂 …
Toolchain update
There`s an updated version for the a20_sdk toolchain available (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/a20devices/files/). It reflects the latest void-linux (https://voidlinux.org/) changes. This is the first step for the upcoming next release A20_SDK_V2.9.4.
It will be also the first release of the migration path from only glibc based images to glibc and musl images. With A20_SDK_V2.9.5, the split of base and full image will be removed (see also https://tjohann.wordpress.com/2020/11/16/rework-on-a20_sdk-images/)
So stay tuned … a lot of new cool stuff will come 🙂
Cheers

Rework on A20_SDK images
I will rework the actual images to support also musl as an image. The plan is to remove the full images and make the base image to a glibc image. Then add a new musl based image. In the end i will support 2 different libc.
Convert images (from to)
Full Image -> remove
Base Image -> glibc
The new Image -> musl
The change will happen during the next weeks. So with A20_SDK_V2.9.4 the conversion will start.
Cheers
Thorsten
New Images available
The images for A20_SDK_V2.9.3 are available @sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/a20devices/)
