A new installation I've been working on...

[erpel]

I've been working on a refresh of this system based on a newer release of GNU/Debian. The previous version was Lenny; the images for Squeeze are ready; I'm just writing up a detailed HOWTO. Drop me a message if you cannot wait and you want the bare bones GNU/Debian images to flash in the SheevaPlug.

• Linux kernel 3.1.4
• Debian Squeeze (6.0.3)

[erpel]

The first version of the HOWTO can be found on http://scorpius.homelinux.org/~marc/debian-squeeze-on-sheeva-nand.html. I've uploaded all the images to flash the SheevaPlug from scratch.

Most of the text is about creating the images, if you're not interested in the process, just browse down to the end (almost) of the page. The final images are available from the web page and should make flashing it pretty trivial.

If something is not quite clear, just let me know.

great work erpel!
played a bit around with my dockstar and your repo and everything works fine!

but since some days there is a new version of linknx (0.0.1.29) and also knxweb2 available!
would really be awesome if you could update your repo with the new linknx!

[erpel]

http://linknx.sourceforge.net/ still lists the linknx-0.0.1.28 as the last release;

[BOCA]

its currently only available via cvs: http://linknx.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/linknx/linknx/linknx/

[erpel]

Yeah, checked that; but there is no TAG indicating an official release of the code.

I noticed that the snapshot of webknx is gone from the sourceforge page, I am adding the original shapshot I took for the web interfaces here:

http://crichton.homelinux.org/~marc/downloads/knxweb-20080408.tar.gz

There is a new version (knxweb2); available and I have had a look at it; but it seems to be lacking some functions that the old version has and is more complex to use.

[erpel]

I just noticed that the archive I added last week was an old version, I added a more recent one, and as far as I know, the last official release.

http://crichton.homelinux.org/downloads/knxweb-0.6.1.tar.gz

I also added a small patch that allows you to show the readout value of a e.g. a 9xxx value; this allows to print e.g. Wind speeds, brightness values or even temperatures. It's pretty simple; but allows me to print the values (brightness, temperature and wind speed) from a Theben outside weather station or even the brightness values from Argus detectors.

Happy hacking.

Hi.
First i am sory i Didnt Seqrch all forum full. only find This topic. and i want ask because i tried much with search.
i am need information about Knx Communication. i want comunication Knx Device with Berker USB interface.
i was looked internet There isnt enought information aabut this. but i find something about emi , cemi message ..
if i dont understand wrong USB interfaces use Cemi message.  Where Can i find Cemi mesage structure ? or how i can comunicate with them

[erpel]

Search the mailing list of eibd-server bcu-sdk. This topic has come up several times over the last years IIRC. I do not use a USB interface myself.

eibd should have support for this for quite some time.
