Utilities and Tools online

Very very quick procedure: download and install kernel’s modules

Download and unzip usb_serial_kernel_modules_fritxbox.zip. Copy the folder usbserial and class in a USB PenDrive.
Start FritxBox telnet by call *78*8 from a phone attached to FritxBox.
Attach USB Hub to FritxBox and the PenDrive to Hub.
Login telnet on FritxBox and go to /var/media/ftp/PENDRIVE/usbserial (where PENDRIVE is the label of your PenDrive)

Digit:

# cd serial
    # modprobe usbserial
    # cd ../class
    # modprobe cdc-acm.ko
    #

Attach the Arduino to the USB Hub, now you can see the /dev/ttyACM0, the serial port of Arduino.

Very very slow procedure: install cross compile tool and build the kernel (and modules) for MIPS architecture (the CPU of FritxBox):

Do it all yourself is a long way, but learn more things, and you have the possibility to expand the functionality of your great FritzBox by develop C program that can run in your modem. I known that isn’t easy, but isn’t impossible!

What you need: A Linux box (real or virtual), a littel experience with C programming languare, experience with Linux and kernel compilation, few hours of time, a PenDrive, an USB Hub and an Arduino of course!

Connect the PenDrive to Hub and the Hub to FritxBox. Configure with the Web interface the FritxBox to show the PenDrive with FTP Nas functionality. In all example below the label of my PenDrive is Kingston-DataTraveler2-0-01.

Let’s go!

1. Login into FritxBox to see what model/cpu mount the machine

From a phone attached to FritxBox compose #96*7* to enable the telnet service, this is my console:

[dometec@precision2 ~]$ telnet 192.168.1.1
    Trying 192.168.1.1...
    Connected to 192.168.1.1.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    Fritz!Box web password:
    
    
    BusyBox v1.18.5 (2012-03-27 14:03:03 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
    
    ermittle die aktuelle TTY
    tty is "/dev/pts/0"
    Console Ausgaben auf dieses Terminal umgelenkt
    #

Do a cat of /proc/cpuinfo to see the detail of CPU:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo
    system type             : TI UR8 (7270)
    processor               : 0
    cpu model               : MIPS 4KEc V6.8
    BogoMIPS                : 359.62
    wait instruction        : yes
    microsecond timers      : yes
    tlb_entries             : 16
    extra interrupt vector  : yes
    hardware watchpoint     : no
    ASEs implemented        :
    shadow register sets    : 1
    core                    : 0
    VCED exceptions         : not available
    VCEI exceptions         : not available
    
    #

The CPU is a MIPS 4KEc V6.8 at 360MHz, which is a MIPS32 enhanced (Release 2) architecture.
Optionally, for another check, you can copy an executable file from FritxBox to PenDrive and back to Linux box and do a file command to see more info on ELF Format:

# cp  /usr/bin/dsl_info  /var/media/ftp/Kingston-DataTraveler2-0-01/

And from PC:

[dometec@precision2 ~]$ cd /tmp/
    [dometec@precision2 tmp]$ wget --password='xxxx' ftp://[email protected]/Kingston-DataTraveler2-0-01/dsl_info
    [dometec@precision2 tmp]$ file dsl_info
    dsl_info: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), with
    unknown capability 0xf41 = 0x756e6700, with unknown capability 0x70100 = 0x3040000, stripped
    [dometec@precision2 tmp]$

Now we are sure that it’s a MIPS architecture rel2, 32 bit.
We need other three info: endianness of CPU, kernel version and version of C library used (the FritxBox use the uCLibC instead of standard glibc, uClibc is used when you don’t have enougth space as in this device).
This model of CPU is little endian see here.

The version of kernel is 2.6.32.41:

# uname -a
    Linux fritz.fonwlan.box 2.6.32.41 #1 Mon Jun 4 16:38:22 CEST 2012 mips GNU/Linux
    #

The version of uCLibC is 0.9.32 as you can see from:

# ls -l  /lib/ | grep uCl
    -rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root         22660 Jul 26  2012 ld-uClibc-0.9.32.so
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Jul 26  2012 ld-uClibc.so.0 -> ld-uClibc-0.9.32.so
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Jul 26  2012 libc.so.0 -> libuClibc-0.9.32.so
    -rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        659996 Jul 26  2012 libuClibc-0.9.32.so

Recap the info collected that we need for next step:

Architecture: MIPS 32bit
Version: Mips32r2 littel endian
uClibc version: 0.9.32
Kernel version: 2.6.32.41

The next operation are execute in a fresh installation of Fedora 16 64bit.

2. Download and extract the same kernel’s version from kernel.org:

[dometec@localhost ~]$ mkdir Downloads/
    [dometec@localhost ~]$ cd Downloads/
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/v2.6.32/linux-2.6.32.41.tar.bz2
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ tar xjf linux-2.6.32.41.tar.bz2

3. Install crosstool-ng to build the kernel modules (and other executable) for MIPS platform.

Install the gcc compiler:

[dometec@localhost Downloads]$ su -
    Password:
    [root@localhost ~]# yum install gcc
    [root@localhost ~]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ bison flex gperf texinfo patch libtool ncurses-devel expat expat-devel
    .
    .
    .
    [root@localhost Downloads]# exit

Download the latest release (1.18.0 at this time) and extract it on a folder:

[dometec@localhost Downloads]$ wget http://www.crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ tar xjf crosstool-ng-1.18.0.tar.bz2
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ cd crosstool-ng-1.18.0/
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ mkdir $HOME/bin/
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ mkdir $HOME/bin/crosstool-ng
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/bin/crosstool-ng
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ make
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ make install
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ export PATH="${PATH}:$HOME/bin/crosstool-ng/bin"
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$

Now we have to create the tool chain for our architecture, we start with mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu default configuration:

[dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ mkdir $HOME/toolchain
    [dometec@localhost crosstool-ng-1.18.0]$ cd $HOME/toolchain
    [dometec@localhost toolchain]$ ct-ng mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu

now we personalize the version of Target Options and Libraries of the toolchain:

[dometec@localhost toolchain]$ ct-ng menuconfig

And go to Target options and sure that:

Target Architecture (mips)
Endianness: (Little endian)
Bitness: (32-bit)
ABI (o32)

Go to Operating System:

Select Linux kernel version (custom tarball or directory)

and set the dir of just extracted kernel ($HOME/Downloads/linux-2.6.32.41) Path to custom source, tarball or directory

Go to C-library and select:

C library (uClibc)
uClibc version (0.9.32)

Go to Debug facilities:

enable only strace

ESC → ESC → and SAVE

Now we have to build the tool chain:

[dometec@localhost toolchain]$ ct-ng build
    .
    .
    .

Go forward until the buil end with the error:

[ERROR]    You did not provide a uClibc config file!

Yes, we have to configure uClibc now that is downloaded and extracted:

[dometec@localhost toolchain]$ cd .build/src/uClibc-0.9.32/
    [dometec@localhost uClibc-0.9.32]$ make menuconfig

Select:

Target Architecture (mips)

In Target Architecture Features and Options select:

Target Processor Architecture (MIPS II)
Target Processor Endianness (Little Endian)

ESC → ESC → and SAVE

run againg menuconfig of ct-ng:

[dometec@localhost uClibc-0.9.32]$ cd ..
    [dometec@localhost src]$ cd ..
    [dometec@localhost .build]$ cd ..
    [dometec@localhost toolchain]$ ct-ng  menuconfig

And set in C-library → configuration file with: $HOME/toolchain/.build/src/uClibc-0.9.32/.config

ESC → ESC → and SAVE

and rebuil toolchain:

[dometec@localhost toolchain]$ ct-ng build
    .
    .
    .

Now we have all tool for cross compile installed in $HOME/x-tools/. Update the PATH environment:

[dometec@localhost toolchain]$ cd ..
    [dometec@localhost ~]$ export PATH="${PATH}:$HOME/x-tools/mipsel-unknown-linux-uclibc/bin"
    [dometec@localhost ~]$

For a very simple test we can compile a HelloWord C programm and compile it for MIPS Architecture.

[dometec@localhost ~]$ echo -e "#include<stdio.h>\n\nmain() {\n\tprintf(\"Hello World on MIPS.\\\n\");\n}" > hello.c
    [dometec@localhost ~]$ mipsel-unknown-linux-uclibc-gcc hello.c -o hello
    [dometec@localhost ~]$

copy the file hello to PenDrive and execute it on FritxBox:

# ./hello
    Hello World on MIPS.

This is the md5 of hello compiled file, if you have any problem compare this md5 with md5 of your compiled hello programm.

# md5sum hello
    cc226dfd058ba585d056e43283a8699d  hello
    #

4.Now we can compile the kernel for MIPS Architecture:

[dometec@localhost ~]$ cd Downloads/
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ cd linux-2.6.32.41/
    [dometec@localhost Downloads]$ export ARCH=mips
    [dometec@localhost linux-2.6.32.41]$ export CROSS_COMPILE=$HOME/x-tools/mipsel-unknown-linux-uclibc/bin/mipsel-unknown-linux-uclibc-
    [dometec@localhost linux-2.6.32.41]$ make menuconfig

Under Machine selection:

Select System type (MIPS Malta board)

Under Linux Kernel Configuration:

Select Endianess selection (Little endian)

Under CPU selection:

Select CPU type (MIPS32 Release 2)

Under Device Driver → USB support:

Select <M> USB Serial Converter support and ensure that all driver are as modules.

ESC → ESC → and SAVE

Now compile the kernel:

[dometec@localhost linux-2.6.32.41]$ make
    .
    .

If you get this error:

  HOSTCC  Documentation/video4linux/v4lgrab
    Documentation/video4linux/v4lgrab.c:34:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: File o directory non esistente
    compilation terminated.
    make[2]: *** [Documentation/video4linux/v4lgrab] Errore 1
    make[1]: *** [Documentation/video4linux] Errore 2
    make: *** [vmlinux] Errore 2
    [dometec@localhost linux-2.6.32.41]$

Remove video4linux/ from file Documentation/Makefile.orig (in the last line):

[dometec@localhost linux-2.6.32.41]$ cat Documentation/Makefile.orig
    obj-m := DocBook/ accounting/ auxdisplay/ connector/ \
            filesystems/configfs/ ia64/ networking/ \
            pcmcia/ spi/ video4linux/ vm/ watchdog/src/

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1009812/ for more info.

5. Where kernel compilation is done, copy the two folder:

drivers/usb/class
drivers/usb/serial

on PenDrive and from FritxBox telnet console do:

# cd serial
    # modprobe usbserial
    # cd ../class
    # modprobe cdc-acm.ko
    #

We have DONE!

6. Test with Arduino

Now load into Arduino a sketch that write something on serial, I use the ASCIITable example from Arduino IDE, and attach Arduino to USB Hub. You can see a new device, ttyACM0:

# ls /dev/tty*
    /dev/tty      /dev/ttyACM0  /dev/ttyS1    /dev/ttyp1    /dev/ttyp3    /dev/ttyp5    /dev/ttyp7    /dev/ttyp9    /dev/ttypb    /dev/ttypd    /dev/ttypf
    /dev/tty0     /dev/ttyS0    /dev/ttyp0    /dev/ttyp2    /dev/ttyp4    /dev/ttyp6    /dev/ttyp8    /dev/ttypa    /dev/ttypc    /dev/ttype
    #

cat from /dev/ttyACM0 to see the output:

# cat /dev/ttyACM0
    AASCII Table ~ Character Map
    !, dec: 33, hex: 21, oct: 41, bin: 100001
    ", dec: 34, hex: 22, oct: 42, bin: 100010
    #, dec: 35, hex: 23, oct: 43, bin: 100011
    
    .
    .
    .

Now you can comunicate with Arduino from internet or intranet without use the Ehetnet shild!

I look forward to your feedback!

If something go wrong, you can find some log on /dev/debug:

# cat /dev/debug
    .
    .

Build Kernel Modules for FritxBox 7270 (for usb serial comunication)

Very very quick procedure: download and install kernel’s modules

Very very slow procedure: install cross compile tool and build the kernel (and modules) for MIPS architecture (the CPU of FritxBox):

1. Login into FritxBox to see what model/cpu mount the machine

2. Download and extract the same kernel’s version from kernel.org:

3. Install crosstool-ng to build the kernel modules (and other executable) for MIPS platform.

4.Now we can compile the kernel for MIPS Architecture:

5. Where kernel compilation is done, copy the two folder:

6. Test with Arduino
