Re: RPi Model 3B+ - NOT COMPATIBLE

While it’s not compatible with the standard image, there is a hack that will work though not as well as I’d like. See this thread :
https://forum.meteohub.de/viewtopic.php?p=25234#p25234

That was a pretty awful hack, and I never bothered updating it for the 4 series because I doubt you could get ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

So after the Meteohub install on the Pi died for the last time I decided to bite the bullet and switch to WeeWX. I wasn't looking forward to this task much because it seemed like there was a lot of potential for things to not work, but to my surprise it worked the first time. Here's a quick recipe ...

Re: Development MeteoHub

This issue has been covered in other threads, since Meteohub development appears to have stopped some time ago and as a result it's only possible to run it on long-obsolete hardware that's getting harder and harder to find, you could consider switching to WeeWX as an alternative, it's open-source ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

I've been looking at switching to WeeWX, runs on any Unix system - I'm planning to use an ODroid N2 or XU4, much better hardware than a Pi and with eMMC storage if you're worried about data safety - and supports the Meteostick which is needed to get data off Davis sensors. Currently my Frankenkernel ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

Development seems to have switched mostly to the Meteobridge/Bridge Pro. I haven't tried the Frankenkernel hack for the Pi 4, but I would imagine it'd be even more hairy than on the 3B+. So the only way to run it on a Pi, unless you're prepared to go the Frankenkernel route which means never being ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

Entries with /home/meteohub/msmtprc are correct, because I compared it my other running meteohub RPi installation on Raspberry3 without the +.
Here's a guess, because the Meteohub images are running very old distros it could be that whatever Meteohub is expecting isn't there any more in a current ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition


today I did the MH update, 5.1b was installed and that is the sad outcome


Yeah, that's the problem, once you've got MH running on a 3B+ using the Frankenkernel approach you can never update it, because the official MH image still doesn't appear to support the 3B+. So the Frankenkernel approach ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

A general note to people trying the Frankenkernel approach, the old images I prepared some time ago are now rather out of date, so rather than trying to find equally old drivers that match the kernel, you'd be better off creating a new image from the current kernel release and current drivers and ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

Does anyone have an updated stats on whether the Frankenkernel hack still works with current kernel releases? In other words using the latest kernel image and drivers off the Github repository along with the latest Meteohub release, is this still possible? Note that you'll need to grab both the ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

I'm not the admin, but no, it doesn't. The 3B+ isn't compatible with the 3B, and 5.0s doesn't run on the 3B+.

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

I assume it'll be the same problem as with the Meteostick drivers, the combination of the very old kernel image that Meteohub ships with and the updated kernel files in the Frankenkernel configuration means that the Wifi drivers aren't loaded. You could try and find more recent drivers that match ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

In your procedure, you tell to copy rpi-firmware-master.zip after SSH on the booted rpi. Could you tell how you copy it ? If I understand well, the SD card is running on the Raspberry Pi and I don’t know how you can copy the zip file since it is only downloadable from another computer (such a PC ...

Re: HOWTO: Run the Meteohub image on the Pi 3B+: Meteohub Frankenkernel edition

So just to repeat those steps:

Download the latest rpi-firmware-master.zip.
Copy the contents of /boot, including subdirectories, onto /boot on the SD card.
Put the SD card in the Pi and boot it (hopefully).
SSH in to the booted Pi and copy rpi-firmware-master.zip onto the system.
Follow the ...
