Prequisites

  • Debian or Ubuntu based distribution
  • armhf or arm64 architecture (no x64 at the moment!)
  • At least kernel 4.14 (Mainline is prefered)
  • HM-MOD-RPI-PCB is supported only on Armbian and on supported hardware platforms

Installation

  1. Create full backup of your SD card

  2. Add the public key of the repository

    wget -q -O - https://www.pivccu.de/piVCCU/public.key | sudo apt-key add -

  3. Add the package repository

    sudo bash -c 'echo "deb https://www.pivccu.de/piVCCU stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pivccu.list'
sudo apt update

    Instead of stable you can also use the testing tree, but be aware testing sometimes means not that stable.

  4. Install the neccessary packages for building kernel modules

    sudo apt install build-essential bison flex libssl-dev

  5. Install the matching kernel headers, this highly depends on your distribution

  6. Install the neccessary kernel modules

    sudo apt install pivccu-modules-dkms

  7. If you are using a HB-RF-ETH, install the neccessary support package

    sudo apt install hb-rf-eth

  8. Add network bridge (if you are using wifi please refer to the debian documentation how to configure the network and the bridge)

    • Verify, that eth0 is the name of your primary network interface:

      sudo ip link show | cut -d' ' -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | grep -e '^e.*'

    • Update your config. (Replace eth0 if necessary)

      sudo apt install bridge-utils
sudo bash -c 'cat << EOT > /etc/network/interfaces
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
  bridge_ports eth0
EOT'

    • You can use an static IP address, too. In that case use instead:

      sudo apt install bridge-utils
sudo bash -c 'cat << EOT > /etc/network/interfaces
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
  bridge_ports eth0
  address <address>
  netmask <netmask>
  gateway <gateway>
  dns-nameservers <dns1> <dns2>
EOT'

  9. Reboot the system

    sudo reboot

  10. Install CCU container

    sudo apt install pivccu3

  11. Start using your new virtualized CCU, you can get the IP of the container using

sudo pivccu-info
