Debian 10.3 : nl802145 not found #20

Closed dpapdpap closed 4 years ago

dpapdpap commented 4 years ago

Hi I'm new in linux and I have setup a VMware machine with Debian 10.3. I install wpan-tools with these commands (acording to https://github.com/RIOT-Makers/wpan-raspbian/wiki/Create-a-generic-Raspbian-image-with-6LoWPAN-support#4-new-linux-kernels-for-the-pi) sudo apt install device-tree-compiler sudo dtc -@ -O dtb -o mrf24j40ma.dtbo mrf24j40ma-overlay.dts In Rasbian I append dtoverlay=mrf24j40ma to file /boot/config.txt after reboot i execute sudo apt install git sudo mkdir /opt/src sudo chown pi /opt/src cd /opt/src git clone https://github.com/linux-wpan/wpan-tools sudo apt install dh-autoreconf libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev cd /opt/src/wpan-tools ./autogen.sh ./configure CFLAGS='-g -O0' --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib make sudo make install but when i execute iwpan list i receive the message nl802154 not found I have done the same at Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and it works But in Debian there isn't /boot/config.txt to append How can I solve the nl802154 not found problem please ?

ieee802154 module is not loaded. Something is not working in your setup check if mrf24j40ma module is actually being loaded.

Thanks for your reply. I install Ubuntu 16.04 without mrf24j40ma and it doesn't complaint for nl802154. Contiki runs ok. That makes me suppose that is something in Debian. However, how can i check if mrf24j40ma is installed in Debian ? Thanks again

run lsmod.

Try also modprobe mac802154_hwsim, this is a virtual driver and you should see some virtual phy's at least. I cannot help you with your devicetree setup.

dpapdpap commented 4 years ago

I'll try it. Thanks again

dpapdpap commented 4 years ago

Indeed, it does not appear to have been installed. I tried modprobe mac802154_hwsim and with iwpan list I can see some phy's. You are very kind, thanks for the help

Sorry, I am pretty sure it is installed but somehow your devicetree setup is not working to match properly. Try modprobe mrf24j40ma, you will see. This issue is out of scope of linuw-wpan.

dpapdpap commented 4 years ago

sudo modprobe mrf24j40ma gives "modprobe: FATAL: Module mrf24j40ma not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.0-8-amd64" I have done what is suggested here At raspberry Pi 3B+ it works fine but not in vmware's Debian 10

This is simple because vmware doesn't support any kind of SPI bus communication so far I know. You connecting things here which are impossible to connect. Do you research better please.
