HDL Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Lab Demo

Configuration of the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system needed to compile the data system and is the lab demo laptop.

Modify the Netplan configuration to get a static IP from this page, this worked: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-configure-static-ip-address-on-ubuntu-18-04/

• Modify this file: /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

  network:
    version: 2
    renderer: networkd
    ethernets:
      ens3:
        dhcp4: no
        addresses:
          - 192.168.121.199/24
        gateway4: 192.168.121.1
        nameservers:
            addresses: [8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1]

• Restart netplan

  sudo netplan apply

1. Add user hdl to the system
   1. Add the user

      sudo adduser hdl

   2. Set the password

      sudo passwd hdl
      
      #password is
      $h00tTh3M00n

   3. Add the user to the adq group

      sudo usermod -a -G adq hdl

2. Get the code over to the hdl user account
   1. Make a dir

      mkdir ~/src
      mkdir ~/bin
      # put the code into ~/src/hdl_lab_demo

   2. Whatever you want to do to get the code there and then compile locally
   3. Make and chown the /opt/hdl directory tree to the hdl user

      # need to do this as a sudo user 
      sudo mkdir /opt/hdl
      sudo chown -R hdl:hdl /opt/hdl

1. Create a directory to populate

   sudo mkdir /opt/hdl
   sudo mkdir /opt/hdl/data
   sudo chown -R hdl:hdl /opt/hdl

Looks like this is a package that allows us to do all kinds of things with this computer, but the GPIO is in here for sure.

• Ubuntu drivers: mio-5271_susi4.1.14987_release_2018_07_16_ubuntu18.04_x64.tar.gz

NOTE: AH, John realized we have DIO ports on the USB timer board, so no need to go down this road.

MC USB-CT08 compile and install instructions

Using lvis since it has sudo capability

1. Download some required packages

   sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make
   sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

2. Grab the latest version of the ULDAQ

   cd ~lvis/Downloads
   wget -N https://github.com/mccdaq/uldaq/releases/download/v1.1.2/libuldaq-1.1.2.tar.bz2

3. Expand the compressed files

   cd ~/work
   tar -xvjf ~/Downloads/libuldaq-1.1.2.tar.bz2

4. Build the library and examples

   cd libuldaq-1.1.2
   ./configure && make
   sudo make install

I had this same problem outlined here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/modemmanager-mobile-broadband-adapter-not-supported-anymore/45268

Trying to use a Keyspan 19HS USB to Serial adapter

1. Create this file for the modem manager
   1. Edit this file

      sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/78-mm-whitelist-internal-modem.rules

   2. Put these contents in it

      ACTION!="add|change|move", GOTO="mm_whitelist_internal_modem_end"
          ATTRS{idVendor}=="06cd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0121", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS}="1"
          LABEL="mm_whitelist_internal_modem_end"

2. Restart the service

   sudo udevadm control --reload
   sudo udevadm trigger

3. I ended up rebooting but probably wasn't nececssary

To talk to the javad

sudo minicom /dev/ttyUSB0  # should not need sudo to do this if in correct group

I also added hdl user to the dialin group with the following command

sudo adduser hdl dialout

1. Install the latest SDK (untar in ~/src/)
2. Install the packages

   cd ~/src/ADQ_SDK_linux_r44222/packages/Ubuntu_18.04/amd64
   sudo apt install dkms
   sudo dpkg -i spd-adq-pci-dkms_1.17_all.deb
   sudo dpkg -i libadq0_0.44222_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i adqtools_0.44222_amd64.deb
   sudo apt install pkg-config

3. Add the hdl user to the adq group

   sudo usermod -a -G adq hdl

4. Reboot
