Building

• Clone:

  mkdir -p ~/go/src/3mdeb && cd ~/go/src/3mdeb
  git clone [email protected]:3mdeb/RteCtrl.git
  cd RteCtrl
  

if $GOPATH is set, change ~/go to $GOPATH

• For host system:

  make
  

• For arm system:

  make build-arm
  

• For amd64 system:

  make build-amd64
  

Installation

• Install RteCtrl binary to $PATH

• Install config/RteCtrl.cfg to /etc/RteCtrl/RteCtrl.cfg

• Install web directory to path pointed in RteCtrl.cfg:

  "web_directory" : "web",
  

• Adjust path to flashrom in RteCtrl.cfg if necessary:

  "flashrom_bin" : "/usr/local/sbin/flashrom",
  

Usage

Required connection:

• connect DUT's power button pin to J11 header pin 9 (GPIO header with OC buffers)
• connect DUT's reset pin to J11 pin 8 (GPIO header with OC buffers)
• connect DUT's power supply to RTE J13 connector
• connect RTE J12 connector with DUT's DC connector via DC Jack - DC Jack wire
• (only for flashing procedure) connect DUT's SPI header with RTE J7 SPI header

Open in browser: <RTE_IP>:8000

Buttons responsible for power control:

Power ON  - sends a pulse on power button pin to power on DUT
Power OFF - ground power button pin on DUT to force it into ACPI S5 state
Reset     - send a pulse on reset pin on DUT
Relay     - toggles the RTE relay on/off deriving the power to DUT

Buttons responsible for flashing firmware:

Browse... - browse for file to flash DUT's firmware
Upload    - uploads chosen file to RTE (required)
Flash     - starts flashing firmware process
