Recently a new version of jamvm has been released (also for the MIPS processor family); this version supports version 1.6, 1.7 and even the latest version of Java, version 1.8; it also doesn't depend on GNU's 'classpath' version of the core classes anymore (which is quite buggy). The OpenJDK version of the core classes is a direct branch of the original Sun/Oracle (reference) implementation, which makes jamvm a full, complete Java JRE implementation (it even has JDK capabilities; e.g. the Java compiler itself is part of the core classes).

Will this jamvm (version 2.0) be available for the Yun? And, if so, when?

kind regards,

Jos

ps. I'm sorry that I can't build this version myself because my Linux (Mint) box is severely broken ...

Make run-avrdude less likely to fail

Add a commented line in rc.local that calls reset-mcu

Current memory params of nodejs may make impossible to use tools such as npm
Since we can use swap files, make the script a little smarter by running nodejs without memory parameters if swap is active

Subject: Arduino Yun and node.js, a good read

After spending 2 weeks working through lots of challanges with Arduino Yun and Node.js, I put together a massive article with lots of source code to cover in depth Arduino Yun and Node.js.

I also provide a pre-built binary image that you can bun onto your own Micro SD (instruction included) for the perfect Yun / Node.js setup.

I developed a serial Watchdog (for when serial bridge doesn't connect), socket.io client using binary ws for the Yun, figured our node.js live remote debug and more...

I just had too many good things to not share it with everyone, so here it is, ENJOY and please comment:

(PS sorry that has to open an issue, but no other way to post on GitHub).

node-bleno doesn't seem to be fully functional as it needs a GATT server to expose Services and Characteristics once a bluetooth LE connection is made.
It works great if you just want to create an iBeacon and don't need to pair devices.

It seems that bluez-libs doesn't include the GATT server (and gattool is missing in bluez-utils).
I've tried to re compile bluez changing the configure arguments (adding --enable-maintainer-mode), but I'm not an expert, and it seems like some dependencies are missing, so I wasn't able to re compile it when changing those configure args.

edit: I might be wrong with the source and fix of the problem, I've opened a ticket on bleno's github.

Needs to be update to 1.0.6! Please halp! :)

The default imagemagick-tools only support convert and mogrify. The following are missing: animate, compare, composite, conjure, display, identify, import, montage, stream.

I had help in adding the missing binaries manually, and they appeared to work.

Hi guys,
what was the reason for creating a hard for of openwrt-packages?

As the packages are originally configured in the feed.conf , it could had been possible to use the latest AA packages-feed combined together with your own modifications.
As you already use a custom script (good way to go) to include/exclude certain packages, you can add the packages from you custom fedd.

Currently you have in arduino/openwrt-yun feeds.conf.default
src-svn packages https://github.com/arduino/openwrt-packages-yun/trunk
src-svn xwrt http://x-wrt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/package
src-svn luci http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/branches/luci-0.11/contrib/package
src-git routing git://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git;for-12.09.x

With another clean git repository only including the yun custom stuff, you could configure in build.sh the feed.conf in this way
src-svn packages svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/packages_12.09
src-svn xwrt http://x-wrt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/package
src-svn luci http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/branches/luci-0.11/contrib/package
src-git routing git://github.com/openwrt-routing/packages.git;for-12.09.x
...
src-git packages https://github.com/arduino/openwrt-packages-yun

and later maybe change or add packages you want from you specific directory.
So you have an easy going if AA gets an update (i.e. heartbleed patch) and you only need to do a reply and not messing around with applying patches.

What do you think?

Users of your software that enable DNSSEC will not be able to validate DNS after October the 11th 2018.

Your repository contains a root key file without the new DNSSEC trust-anchors:

Consider following the suggestions from this topic to make the running sketch play nicer with linux when a reboot is needed

I think it would be great if there someone provided a nice guide on how to compile c++ nodejs modules for the Yun. I'd really like to use node_mdns and it seems like compiling it myself is the only way to go.

Hi Martino -

You seem to have quite a bit of experience with managing packages for the yun. I have been stuck for days on an issue with the package 'distribute.' People on the arduino forums are having the same problem as well.

I posted my question on the AWS SDK repo, but really it isn't an issue with the AWS SDK, it is a architectural conflict for the 'distribute' package on opkg install.

In a nutshell:

$ opkg install distribute
Unknown package 'distribute'.
Collected errors:

• opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package distribute.

(I have already done an opkg update)

If you were having a Would your advice be to re-install a new fresh image of the yun rev2 firmware, or to figure out how to somehow cross compile the package for the mips_24k architecture?

The user has to compile the openwrt-yun image and devel/yun-gccpackage from source then search for headers to be able to compile much beyond hello.c

If you find missing headers, please list them here.

Hello, I've been trying to create some new plugins for the collectd service but the python plugin it's completely vanished from OpenWrt.

I've been trying to build it my self but with no success. Anyone that could guide me through?

The idea being to make it easier for end users to just put a .hex file on a usb stick. plug it in and on mount the arduino yun does something like

if .hex file exists
merge without bootloader
upload to 32u4

very handed for updating firmware in the field

Hi guys, I see that you have updated the node-socket.io to 1.x.
I was wondering when is it available with the http://downloads.arduino.cc/openwrtyun/1/packages/Packages.gz

Is there another source to add somewhere in order to get access to your changes?

Its all a bit unclear to me how and where these packages are generated.
Thank you.

In the examples I see instructions on how to use sqlite3 with php and with python. From what I can tell the npm sqlite3 module needs to be compiled and isn't in this package. Is that correct?

Hello,
I have installed the following packages:

imagemagick
imagemagick-tools
imagemagick-jpeg
imagemagick-png

I'm trying to create an animated GIF using two JPEGs. using animate 116.jpg 117.jpg
I get the following error:

animate: DelegateLibrarySupportNotBuiltIn `' (X11) @ error/animate.c/AnimateImageCommand/1472.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Does anyone have an ipkg for python-netifaces or instructions on how to cross-compile?
