And here I was wondering if anyone was still using this.
I've pushed a new version of libcip (0.1.1.6) which builds for EL 8, so feel free to give that a try.
That said, I haven't tried EL 8 on my NAS, and I'm not optimistic that the whole thing is going to work, particularly the kernel stuff. If you do want to try it, I recommend against trying to build/use the n5550 RPM. Instead, take a look at the n5550.spec
file to see what it's doing to build the RPM and try to do that stuff manually, adjusting for the new OS as you go.
Thanks. I am going to give it a whirl this evening. I am also considering using LCDproc on a 4x20 LCD module as I have just gotten a quick Perl script running that can connect and write messages to the screen. I can interpolate the outoput of /proc/mstat to give a health report as one screen on the LCD display.
I'll update if I can get the built-in screen working under Centos 8.
Much thanks again for the help you gave previously as well as his time.
How did it go?
I gave up. I realized I could get what I want from using a small LCD panel with LCDProc. I built a custom Perl script that displays the core and hdd temperatures and the disk array status.
I also am using a LCD module in my OpenWrt router. I had to some inventive things to display custom messages for that. I display the usual core and hdd temperatures, a check that my security cameras are working and a check to see that I can reach the internet. I'm planning on incorporating an Ookla SpeedTest results page just for fun.
I'm planning to pull all of my notes and scripts together to share on GitHub.

HI:
I got caught by the boothole bug when I updated and used this as a reason to update to Centos 8. When compiling libcip, I get the following output. I am hoping that you can help. This was working quite well under Centos 7.
