# PeachCloud
## Development Environment
### Background
In order to be flexible in supporting single-board computers beyond the Raspberry Pi alone, and to take full advantage of 64-bit support on ARMv8 devices, development for PeachCloud is being targeted at Debian ARM64.
No official image has yet been released by Debian for the Raspberry Pi 3, though a preview image of Debian 10 (Buster) is available [from their wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3). The major known issue with that preview image is broken wireless (the built-in wireless interface does not work). Fortunately, Michael Stapelberg has posted [an updated version of the preview image](https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2018/01/08/raspberry-pi-3) with WiFi that works out of the box.
### Operating System
Debian 10 (Buster). Kernel version: 4.14.0-3-arm64.
### Hardware
Raspberry Pi 3B+.
### Packages
List of all packages manually-installed during development environment setup.
`man-db, locales, sudo, vim, git, build-essential, wget, network-manager, net-tools, curl, hostapd, dnsmasq, openssh-server, iptables-persistent, ufw, bridge-utils, ntp, ssl-cert, wpasupplicant, avahi-daemon, libssl-dev, pkg-config, i2c-tools, nmtui`
_Note: This list may be incomplete and will be checked during the next phase of development._
### Software Setup
Install Rust using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/):
`curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh`
_Note: This method of installation will fail with SSL cert errors if the datetime is not correctly set on the Pi and / or the `ssl-cert` package is not installed._
Set Rust to nightly (necessary for compiling [Rocket](https://rocket.rs)):
`rustup default nightly`
### Hardware Setup
**RTC over I²C**
_Tested with DS1338 RTC module._
Ensure `i2c-tools` Debian package has been installed. Then run the following to ensure the RTC is correctly wired and connected to the Pi:
`sudo modprobe i2c-dev`
`sudo i2cdetect -y 1`
The final command in the sequence prints an array to the console, with 68 denoting the presence of the RTC module. This is a sign that the device is properly wired and connected.
Append the following two lines to `/boot/firmware/config.txt`:
`dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307`
`dtparam=i2c_arm=on`
Add required kernel modules:
`sudo modprobe i2c-bcm2835`
`sudo modprobe rtc-ds1307`
Append the following three lines to `/etc/modules`:
`i2c-dev`
`i2c-bcm2835`
`rtc-ds1307`
Apply the `dtb` patch detailed in the **Bug Fixes** section of this document (below).
Initialize the device by running the following commands:
`sudo bash`
`echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device`
`exit`
Run the `i2cdetect` tool to ensure the RTC kernel driver is working:
`sudo i2cdetect -y 1`
A `UU` entry in the output arrays denotes success. If you still see `68` or similar, the module is not being controlled by the kernel driver.
_Note: This Scuttlebutt dev-diary post by @glyph documents the process step-by-step (%aEVy1gyTSl4qrbazrwrgnrLs4pRVobELwQjH/TUtsAc=.sha256)._
**GPIO**
GPIO appears to be working out-of-the-box, but be aware that all pin numbers are offset by 458 for Debian on the Raspberry Pi 3 (as mentioned in the [Debian RaspberryPi3 wiki](https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi3)).
### Bug Fixes
The clock frequency property is not set for I²C in the device tree of the Debian image we are working with. The `dtb` (device tree blob) must be decompiled, patched, and recompiled.
Copy the existing `dtb` to a temporary working directory (exact location is up to you):
`cp /boot/firmware/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /tmp/`
`cd /tmp`
Install the compiler / decompiler:
`sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler`
Generate a human-readable decompiled device tree (`dts`):
`dtc -I dtb -O dts > bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dts`
Open the `dts` and add the clock-frequency property (line 570):
`clock-frequency = <0x186a0>;`
Save and exit the document. Recompile the patched `dts` to binary blob format:
`dtc -O dtb -o bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dts`
Replace the existing `dtb` with the newly-patched version (you may wish to backup the old `dtb` first):
`cp bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /boot/firmware/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb`
Reboot and ensure no `i2c could not read clock-frequency property` errors persist in the kernel logs (`/var/log/kern.log`).
