How to build Red Pitaya rp-counter-server

Before proceeding follow the instructions on how to set up working environment. Then proceed by simply running the following command.

make clean all

Note: The easiest way to build rp-counter-server is on a running redpitaya board. Login as root on the live redpitaya and copy the source code of rp-counter-server, e.g.

scp -r /path/to/rp-counter-server root@rp-host:/root/

Then login using ssh and build rp-counter-server

ssh root@rp-host
cd /root/rp-counter-server
make clean all
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p1 /opt/redpitaya
make install
mount -o remount,ro /dev/mmcblk0p1 /opt/redpitaya

This will compile rp-counter-server and copy the resulting binary to /opt/

Starting Red Pitaya counter server

Before starting the counter service, make sure Nginx, Wyliodrin and SCPI services are not running. Running them at the same time will cause conflicts, since they access the same hardware.

systemctl stop redpitaya_nginx
systemctl stop redpitaya_wyliodrin
systemctl stop redpitaya_scpi

Now we can try and start Red Pitaya counter server.

systemctl start redpitaya_counter

Starting Red Pitaya counter server at boot time

The next commands will enable running the counter service at boot time and disable Nginx, Wyliodrin and SCPI services.

systemctl disable redpitaya_nginx
systemctl disable redpitaya_wyliodrin
systemctl disable redpitaya_scpi
systemctl enable redpitaya_counter
