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

   mkdir ~/work
   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

POSView

1. Run playonlinux
2. Install a program
3. Install a non-listed program (at the bottom)
4. Next, next, next
5. Install program in a new virtual drive
6. Name: POSView
7. Do nothing before install (uncheck everything)
8. 32 bit windows install
9. Browse to exe installer
10. Use the name it gave it AV_POSView and icon for the EXE
11. Did not make a second shortcut
