OpenCPN on Raspberry PI Raspbian

[Captain_Steve]

Hi,

Download of OpenCPN and dependencies ok as well as compilation &
installation but can't run it because of the following errors.

Thanks very much for your help.
Regards.

I have tried OpenCPN on a Raspberry PI with the Lubuntu OS.

It was possible to get it working. However with zooming in or zoomen out the system locked up.

The Raspy has not enough power to get OpenCPN running.

Now I have changed to the Banana PI. Also an ARM "nano" board for about the same price and the same dimensions.

But the Banana PI has much more processor power and more memory.

And on the latest version the Lubuntu OS and OpenCPN latest beta version the system is running perfect and very stable. And the video processor give a very nice display.

And with a power supply of 5 volt is it a perfect system for on board.

I'am using now 2 sets for daily use at home with Chromium, Firefox, Samba netwerk. Network printer also works. With a very low power consumption.

There is now also an Banana Pro with wireless on the system board.

I'am now looking for a sturdy alu case for the use of the Banana on the boat.

Regards,


Bram

Bram, were you able to get hardware video acceleration working on the Banana pi? or Pro?

Allo Akopac,

yes, the Banana PI and also the Pro does GLS hardware accellation and 4 colours in combination with OpenCPN. OS is Lubuntu from the Lemaker board and the latest beta of OpenCPN.

The Banana is a clone of the Raspberry PI but with much better specifications and
a GPU ARM Mali400MP Complies with OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1.

CPU ARM Cortex A7 Dual-Core 1.0 Ghz SDRAMM 1 GB DDR3 shared with GPU.

This small system work so good that I'am using it for my daily internet use. Does Firefox, Chromium, printer support, Samba etc. Also Citrix works on this little system.

Ethernet 10/100/1000

OpenCPN can easly be installed if you fill in the right sever adresse in Synaptic.

To spare one usb port for NMEA input I'am using an Logitech wireless keyboard with a pad. KT400.

I'am using HDMI output to a dvi monitor. With a change connector HDMI/DVI.

The SD card is a 16 Gig 10 speed type. With the standard setup the cards is only partly used. But you can make more room with Gparted.

This message also comes from my Banana !

Regards from the Netherlands,

Not sure if this will help, but there's a precompiled v3.2 here might be worth a go...

It will run on a pi.

The information is somewhat dated, however I'll be updating the site with scripts & .deb packages in the next week or so .. my Raspberry Pi 2 arrived today and OpenCPN's already running ... 30 minutes to compile is a great improvement

Can you post the opencpn log file from the rpi2? What kind of performance do you experience?

When you compile, did you use "make -j4" ? it should be 4 times faster on a quad core.

30 minutes seems terribly slow.

That was on a clean machine, so the time incuded downloading sources and installing the dependencies.

make -j4 took 15 minutes

I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet so can't comment on performance; I did notice that the world map is missing.


package is here if anyone's interested: http://agurney.com/raspi/opencpn_4.0.0-1_armhf.deb

I found that it still needs framebuffer tweaks to /boot/config.txt

Considerably slower than cubie truck which is only dual core.

Did you download the gshhs data?

10:19:15 UTC: OpenGL-> Version reported:  2.1 Mesa 8.0.5

So you are using slower software rendering.

So you are using slower software rendering.

That was out of the box, no overclocking, following vanilla instructions from opencpn.org.

It's far quicker when openGL is turned off, and I couldn't see any difference in the quality (on my small display).

Rear all this with interest. Would like to know if RP2 is working OK with open CPN. I'm using a Lenova screen that is connected via USB port and run w low amps. Cm93 and GE pictures made into charts with GE2KAP is the best I have used where I sail in Papua New Gu in each, Solomon Island, charts are way out here but GE is spot on. Also using SAS Planet on a memory stick with lots of charts I need cache.

It seems to working fine thus far; won't be able to give it a decent trial until I'm afloat.
