Cannot install piaware on Orange Pi Zero Plus (Allwinner H5 arm64)

ciprianxl · June 30, 2018, 11:28pm

Hello everyone,

Last month i’ve fried my OPi zero using an LG quick charger. I believe that the board requested more power and the charger pumped up 9V into it. Not sure, but now pulls 3,4V/1,3A and it’s getting hot instantly. The more you learn…

So,i’ve ordered another one. But i chosed the “plus” as it has a better processor without checking if it would be possible to install piaware on it.

At this moment, besides that the ArmbianOS for it is in testing phase for this board (but it works), piaware refuses to install and gives the following error:

sudo apt-get update
…

Reading package lists… Done
N: Skipping acquire of configured file ‘piaware/binary-arm64/Packages’ as repository ‘http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages jessie InRelease’ doesn’t support architecture ‘arm64’

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
** piaware:armhf : Depends: tcllib:armhf but it is not installable**
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Probably, Piaware cannot be installed as it is not a native 64bit application.

I have searched and found out that i can actually install 32bit apps to 64bit OS. Unfortunatelly, my coding skils are very low.

Any tutorials,ideas on how to install piaware on this board?

Thank you!

Try this

(1) First give following command to purge piaware repository which you have installed:

sudo dpkg --purge piaware-repository

.

(2) After purging the repository, run these commands

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install git  
git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-receiver.git  
cd ~/adsb-receiver  
chmod +x install.sh  
./install.sh

.
After the last command (./install.sh), you will be offered options.
In the options offered, choose:

dump1090-fa
Flightaware piaware (sometimes Flightaware piaware is not offered separately and is automatically installed when you choose dump1090-fa)

NOTE:
(a) To choose an option, move selection by arrow keys, then when on required option, press Space Bar, then press Enter key.

(b) You will be offered many other options also. Do NOT choose any other options.

Hello abcd567 (always to the rescue),

I have used jprochazka’s script on my last OPi0, and tried on OPI0+ also.

There are 2 versions of Armbian for OPi0+: Stretch & Bionic.

On Stretch, dump1090fa & piaware can be installed with the script (YAY!). Unfortunatelly, Stretch has a network DNS bug which is restricting the OPi to connect to the internet. I always need to reinitiate the network drivers (?!) in order to reconnect.

On Bionic, there is no network bug, but the script doesn’t show the dump1090-fa option. Just mutability. So, going further with mutability, i receive the following:

IndexError: tuple index out of range
debian/rules:55: recipe for target ‘build_cxfreeze’ failed
make[1]: *** [build_cxfreeze] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/root/adsb-receiver/build/piaware_builder/package-jessie’

_ Checking that the FlightAware PiAware client package was installed properly…_

_ INSTALLATION HALTED!_
_ UNABLE TO INSTALL A REQUIRED PACKAGE._
_ SETUP HAS BEEN TERMINATED!_

The package “piaware” could not be installed.

_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------_
_ FlightAware PiAware client setup halted._

At this point, it’s either fixing the DNS bug or finding a way to show 1090-fa option.

Thanks for the support!

Interesting. I am also trying to get an Orange Pi Zero Plus running; I am running into a funny error with the script. It runs for a while after I select the relevant options, and then fails out with the following:

There is a PR for the bladerf issue here: use correct type for bladerf_get_frequency by larsks · Pull Request #22 · flightaware/dump1090 · GitHub
(though it still needs some work)

wiedehopf · October 12, 2018, 8:24pm

I always just remove the bladerf dependencies from the file debian/control and change the compile option to BLADERF=no in debian/rules

That way i don’t need all those dependencies when compiling dump1090-fa.

I guess you would need to git clone and compile yourself though as the receiver-project probably clones the repository and instantly starts the compilation.

abcd567 · October 12, 2018, 8:33pm

Which one do you compile?

deb package (sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b)
OR
binary (sudo make BLADERF=no)

You should edit your file instead of copy pasting. copy/paste screws up spaces/tabs

git checkout the file to restore the original then edit manually.

abcd567 · October 12, 2018, 10:20pm

@wiedehopf
Thanks. Copy-paste has created the problem. Simple editing in place did the job.

No need for any of the 3 sudo in that post.

Much nicer than my diff to look at i suppose

abcd567 · October 13, 2018, 1:04am

True, but only if user is root. If I open the file as user pi, and dont use sudo, the file opens as write protected.

wiedehopf · October 13, 2018, 6:57am

That’s because you cloned the repository with sudo as well

abcd567 · October 13, 2018, 12:16pm

Yes, you are right, but I was forced to use sudo to clone (else it will fail to clone) because I did not clone in ~ (/home/pi) directory. I cloned it from inside ~/build-dump-fa-deb (/home/pi/build-dump-fa-deb) directory. This I did to keep all related files inside one exclusive directory build-dump-fa-deb to make it easy to find.

I have not shown build-dump-fa-deb directory in my above post to avoid confusion and keep things simple.

Hi! can I ask why you chose an OPi? (over an RPi).
I nearly used an OPi for one site because it offered an external WiFi antenna, but decided for an AP with the Pi connected via Cat5 (at this stage, there seemed no benefit to use anything other than a '3B (for this site)).
Did you ‘choose’ an OPi or just happen to have one available?

I purchased Orange Pi PC in December 2015, just out of curiosity and urge to explore.
