B4J Question UP-BOARD

[micro]

Hi
Someone used this board?
This board is similar (as dimension and GPIO) to the raspberry but with Intel atom Cpu
and also can install windows OS.
The JPIO and JP4J can work on this board?
This board is more powerful.

The JPIO and JP4J can work on this board?

No.

You can probably use jShell to control the pins.

You can probably use jShell to control the pins.

I hope it's simple
The board comes in few days, but I know it will not be easy for me.
This is a link where show a example in javascript but as invokes the mraa library with B4J?
https://up-community.org/wiki/MRAA/UPM
https://iotdk.intel.com/docs/master/mraa/up.html

javascript example

var m = require('mraa'); //require mraa
console.log('MRAA Version: ' + m.getVersion()); //write the mraa version to the console

var myLed = new m.Gpio(7); //LED hooked up to digital pin 7
myLed.dir(m.DIR_OUT); //set the gpio direction to output
var ledState = true; //Boolean to hold the state of Led

function periodicActivity()
{
  myLed.write(ledState?1:0); //if ledState is true then write a '1' (high) otherwise write a '0' (low)
  ledState = !ledState; //invert the ledState
  setTimeout(periodicActivity,500); //call the indicated function after 1 second (1000 milliseconds)
}

periodicActivity(); //call the periodicActivity function

A wrapper for MRAA library is available: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/iot-jmraa-intel-edison.60665/#content
I'm not sure whether it will work with this device or not.

In Raspberry Pi there is a command line tool named gpio: http://wiringpi.com/the-gpio-utility/

You need to check whether there is a similar tool for this device.

Ok, the board has arrived.
I started with some tests using the jmraa library but in mraa.Initialize
I have these errors:

Attached a file for test I/O downloaded from up-board site

 

[Erel]

jMRAA will not work with your board.

 

[micro]

Is possibile use a Windows DLL or python script?
On Up-board site ther's a library RPI.GPIO for this board but for Linux.

 

[Erel]

You cannot use a Windows DLL.

Python: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/rpi-piface-control-and-display-cad.62610/#content...

jMRAA will not work with your board.

On this link https://iotdk.intel.com/docs/master/mraa/index.html
reports the various boards supported by mraa:

• Galileo Gen 1 - Rev D
• Galileo Gen 2 - Rev H
• Intel Edison
• Intel(R) NUC DE3815tykhe
• Intel(R) MinnowBoard Max / MinnowBoard Turbot
• Raspberry Pi
• Banana Pi/Pro
• Beaglebone Black
• phyBOARD-Wega
• Intel NUC NUC5i5MYBE
• UP Board
• Intel Joule
• FTDI FT4222H

If you have wrapped mraa lib for the board intel edison why it does not work with up-board?
I think the problem can only be the matching of the pins but at least it must work
I'm wrong?
Thanks for all.

 

[Erel]

jMRAA was compiled with native libraries on the Intel Edison. Different native libraries will be required for other platforms.

 

[micro]

Different native libraries will be required for other platforms.

Ok Erel but I've never compiled a library.
On this link

• UP Board

there are the various libraries for mraa, are you able to compile it?
Thanks again

 

[micro]

This link attached is DIO project in C# and use aaeonEAPI.dll and EAPI.cs class.
In Form1.cs you see the calls to the aaeonEAPI.dll and the variuos dll entrypoint.
It seems simple if the program was in C# but with B4j i can not make it.

Some help if you have time to devote?
Thanks

 

[Erel]

The C# libraries will not help. It is also not simple to compile the MRAA library. It should be done on the board itself and it requires a very specific configuration.

I recommend you to go with the python approach. It shouldn't be too difficult.

I need install python on windows but RPI.GPIO or WIRING PY how i install it on windows?
Around I see only installations under linux.

Thanks so much for the support.

 

[Erel]

I'm sorry but I never installed it on Windows.

 

[micro]

I'm back Erel,
forgive me but I want to see to use the UP-BOARD to the best.
I found this new file with the mraa.jar and various upm*.jar, can you see how to use them with b4j?
Thanks

file

 

[micro]

Hi Erel
I tried to decompile the mraa.jar file of the previous link and your and are identical, but in your mraa.jar there is libmraajava.so file, what is it for?
Is this that show the error when initialize your jmraa library, but i can not see what's inside in this file (libmraajava.so).
Thanks

P.S.
I looked better, they are not exactly the same

 

[micro]

The libmraajava.so is refers to linux folders paths.
So I think the problem is not the up-board but the operating system, on my board run windows 10.
It's correct?

 

[Erel]

The .so file is the native library. The B4J library copies it at runtime to File.DirApp and loads it. This step should work on both Windows and Linux. It is possible that the native library itself needs to be recompiled.
