installing eibd

look here:

http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/~mkoegler/index.php/eibdeb

i link the page in case they want to modify it.. thus this page doesn't have to be modified too

installation of EIB

linuxmce 710

you first need to get a partially compiled version of linuxmce 710, and its sources. you may have problems doing so, but if the libs are compiled there is no actual matter. see Compiling from 710 sources to get one.
when it's done, grab the file at

http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=4299

(you need to create an account, until someone releases it )
then untar it and copy it instead of the former EIB sources.(rename them to be able to get them later, just in case).

then you must connect to lmce webadmin, and go in advanced=> templates. here modify the EIB template, so it has the following parameters:

bus type
bus address

both must be string. type must be one of:

• ft12
• bcu1
• tpuart24
• tpuart
• ip
• ipt
• bcu1s
• tpuarts
• usb

address is required for ip, ipt and usb
(type in console eibd --help for details.)

now you must compile and run sql2cpp: place yourself in the source folder, run

cd sql2cpp; make; ./sql2cpp

and you template modifications are recorded you just have to place yourself in the EIB source folder, type

make

to get the EIB programm. rename the former one in /usr/pluto/bin (such as old_EIB) and move the one you compiled instead. restart your lmce router

dont forget to modify the existing EIB so that it has good launching parameters!
