Svipul Documentation

Abstract

Svipul is a private documentation article, this is knowledge I have found that is worth to remember for me, but feel free to use all of it.

Find the online Documentation here….

The name Svipul comes from Norse mythology, and the domain is only taken because it was free and I wanted a domain name with Scandinavian reference.

The documentation is made with AsciiDoc and tools from AsciiDoctor.

All references that includes computer Operating Systems is for (Linux) Fedora, FreeBSD or OpenBSD, so do not expect to find any help in the world of other Operating Systems.

The information can be picked up here as a svipul.pdf file.

1. Information Technology

top

Systems being used, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Fedora.

1.1. FreeBSD

Tips and trix in my setup of FreeBSD, configuration and use.

1.1.1. FreeBSD Work Station

Laptop Work Computer

Initial Steps

After a new install of FreeBSD is there several tasks and scripts to be performed.

root perform:

# freebsd-update fetch install
# mkdir /usr/local/etc/pkg
# mkdir /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
# sed -i '' -e 's/quarterly/latest/g' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf (1)

1	The change in the pkg handling is because I prefer "latest" instead of the "quaterly".

Normal user perform:

$ rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' 192.168.0.5:bin .
$ mkdir doc
$ rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' 192.168.0.5:doc/defaults doc/
$ bin/init_dotfiles.sh

When all is running correct (X, xfce etc..), copy the rest of the files from the server:

$ rsync_server.sh new

The scrips mentioned above (ending in .sh) is own scripts.

Find a lot of extra information in ports installation files.

Check /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (both 5G and 2.4G)
Check bin/inst_pkg.lst
Run bogofilter for ham and spam to build initial database
Run freshclam for latest virus database.
Fetch ports from git server, see Handbook.
Make zfs ready for jail and install jail, check /etc/rc.conf.local.
SMTP to be set, either "msmtp" or the new base "dma".

Configuration

For the terminal with messages in english, edit .login_conf:

me:\
	:charset=UTF-8:\
	:lang=en_GB.UTF-8:\
	:setenv=LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.ISO8859-1,LC_NUMERIC=da_DK.UTF-8,LC_COLLATE=C:

For Lynx browser, add environment variabel (here tcsh) to .tcshrc:

setenv LYNX_CFG ~/.lynxrc

Then create .lynxrc with minimum following:

CHARACTER_SET:utf-8
ASSUME_CHARSET:utf-8

For shell scripts (sh) to supply correct locale if called from cron, add the LANG variabel to the shell script:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

Using HeadPhones

To fix the headphone connector/jack (Lenovo T470s) on left side of the computer, find address:

$ sysctl -a |grep Headphones
dev.hdaa.0.nid33_original: 0x03211020 as=2 seq=0 device=Headphones
	conn=Jack ctype=1/8 loc=Left color=Black misc=0

dev.hdaa.0.nid33_config: 0x2121101f as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones
	conn=Jack ctype=1/8 loc=Ext-Rear color=Black misc=0

dev.hdaa.0.nid33: pin: Headphones (Black Jack)

Pin config: 0x2121101f as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones conn=Jack
	ctype=1/8 loc=Ext-Rear color=Black misc=0

So, it is hdaa.0.nid33_original that is on left side.

Now add to /boot/device.hints:

hint.hdaa.0.nid33_original="as=1 seq=15"

1.1.2. Z File System

Useful commands for the zfs, as root or sudo:

History of commands and actions in the zfs.

# zpool history

1.1.3. FreeBSD Server

Currently is the server a Lenovo ThinkCentre.

ZFS

Internal SSD:
+-------+
| zroot |
+-------+
      \
       +--------+
       | ada0p4 |
       +--------+

USB SSD for backup:
+---------+
| zbackup |
+----+----+
     |
+----+-----+
| mirror-0 |
+----------+
/           \
+-------+    +-------+
| da0p1 |    | da1p1 |
+-------+    +-------+

1.1.4. Format USB Stick

Format an USB stick with FAT32:

# gpart create -s MBR ${devicename}
# gpart add -t fat32 ${devicename}
# newfs_msdos -F 32 -L thumbdrive ${devicename}s1

1.1.5. SQLite3 Compiler

Use the gcc compiler, clang will not work… also add -lsqlite3 to the command line.

1.1.6. Garmin Quirks

To make FreeBSD "see" Garmin devices (on Lenovo T470s) when connected to USB and the device not is listed in the source code, add to /boot/loader.conf:

# Below is for Garmin to make it USB available or both LUNs available
#
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x091e 0x0d8a 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Instinct Solar
#
hw.usb.quirk.1="0x091e 0x23c0 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Dakota 20
#
hw.usb.quirk.2="0x091e 0x26c8 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Edge Touring+
hw.usb.quirk.3="0x091e 0x272c 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Edge 1030

See also the sourcecode in head/sys/dev/usb/quirk/usb_quirk.c and head/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs.

1.1.7. NanoVNA/TinySA Firmware

Install the dfu-util port to the FreeBSD system.

Make device enter DFU mode by one of following methods.

Jumper BOOT0 pin at powering device …or Select menu Config→DFU (needs recent firmware)

Then, flash firmware using dfu-util via USB.

$ dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D build/ch.bin

The "-D" option is the path and name of the .bin file.

1.1.8. Arduino

More information about Arduino and the port arduino.

Install the avrdude port.

Command line uploads with avrdude, in the examples below the blink.c object code blink.hex is uploaded.

The hex code from the Arduino IDE (after it is compiled/verified), is placed in "/tmp/build*/\*.cpp.hex".

Arduino Duemilanove

For the board Arduino Duemilanove:

$ avrdude -V -F -c stk500v1 -p m328p -b 57600 -P /dev/cuaU0 -U flash:w:blink.hex

Arduino Uno

For the board Arduino Uno:

$ avrdude -V -F -c stk500v1 -p m328p -b 115200 -P /dev/cuaU0 -U flash:w:blink.hex

To get the serial communication to the USB/Serial port, use "cu":

$ cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 9600

1.1.9. Convert Mail eml to mbox

Install procmail that includes formail.

$ formail < file.eml > file.mbox

Open the mbox file with neomutt.

$ neomutt -f file.mbox

1.1.10. Hosting Hetzner

Web site and NextCloud is hosted in Germany / Iceland / Finland.

Hetzner Hetzner Documentation.

sFTP and FTP access is at following addresses, for sFTP is public keys uploaded to the "konsole" interface for each computer that need access (laptop and server):

$ ftp -N .netrc www163.your-server.de

$ sftp -i .ssh/id_rsa name@www163.your-server.de

Incoming and outgoing mail server is mail.your-server.de

1.1.11. ImageMagick

Mogrify Batch to Reduce Image Size

To reduce several images to 20% and orientate to correct orientation:

$ mogrify -verbose -auto-orient -enhance -resize 20% *.jpg

the -enhance option will increase the time to convert/resize.

1.1.12. Webcam on FreeBSD

pkg install webcamd
rc.conf.local webcamd="YES"
service webcamd start
devfs.rules add path 'video\*' mode 0660 group operator
use in browsers pkg install v4l-utils v4l_compat
test webcam with pwcview -d /dev/video0

1.1.13. Network File System NFS

The NFS system to mount a server filesystem on the laptop when a firewall is running will need changes to the server mountd to start with a fixed port. This involves:

/etc/rc.conf.local
- mountd_flags="-r -S -p xxx"
- mountd_enable="YES"
/usr/local/etc/pf.conf
- add port xxx

1.1.14. OpenSSH CA

Certficat Authority

Using certificates authorized by CA instead of the public key being send around to all machines.

The CA machine can be both client and host.
Use a dedicated machine for signing keys.
Use different private keys for signing host keys and user keys.
All machines can be both client and host.
Never transport a private key over network.
Public keys and certificates can be transported on the network.
The CA private keys should really be kept off-line.

CA Machine Set-up:

Create directories for each user and each host:

/usr/local/sshca/
- hosts/laptop
- hosts/server
  - users/hmj@laptop
  - users/hmj@server
Create the host key with pass-phrase, ca_host_key
Create the user key with pass-phrase, ca_user_key

Create ca_user_key and ca_host_key, both with a pass phrase, the private part must be moved to an offline device.

Edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config to list:

HostKey (private key)
HostCertificate (-cert.pub)
TrustedUserCAKeys (ca_user_key.pub)

On Client and Host Machines:

In the /etc/hosts file is the first names after the numerical ip address used for "look-up" by ssh.

cat ca_host_key.pub to /etc/ssh_known_hosts on all clients and hosts, just copy between machines (clients only machines, not needed).

Edit /etc/ssh_known_hosts so first line starts with a keyword and all hosts this key is valid for (clients only machines, not needed):

@cert-authority laptop,server,fedora ssh-rsa…
copy ca_user_key.pub to /etc/ssh/

Host Machine Set-up:

change sshd_conf to have all host keys (primary) and host certificates path:

HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
HostCertificate /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
HostCertificate /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key-cert.pub
HostCertificate /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub

change sshd_conf to include path to ca_user_key.pub:

TrustedUserCAKeys /etc/ssh/ca_user_key.pub

Client Machine:

Place the certificate id_rsa-cert.pub in ~/.ssh/
remove authorized_keys from ~/.ssh/
you can remove known_hosts from ~/.ssh/

For loading or flashing on a FreeBSD release 13.0 system, all required tools are part of the standard or package system… after finding the serial port (on my system /dev/cuaU3), start a cu communication, either as root or use sudo:

Load or Download Memory

$ sudo cu -s 38400 -l /dev/cuaU3

…and activate serial console on the DM15L, "C" + "on":

Figure 16. Serial Console with FreeBSD cu command

…possible options shown with "?" + "Enter":

Figure 17. Serial Console list

…dump the memory with "s" + "Enter"

Figure 18. Serial Console dump or save

…leave/drop cu with ~. (tilde and dot).

Flashing Software

For flashing the DM15L, install the package lpc21isp and just follow the procedure described in the DM15L manual.

…command line for flashing:

$ sudo lpc21isp /tmp/DM15_M1B_31.hex /dev/cuaU3 115200 12000

6. HamRadio

top

My interest is in digital radio and satellite, so voice mode will most likely not be covered here.

See my collection of HamRadio related links.

See my collection of Electronics related links

Computer installation is on my Lenovo Thinkpad T530.

6.1. Linux HamRadio

Linux focused HamRadio software packages, my installation is with Fedora.

Linux Fedora Amateur Radio Wiki.

6.2. APRS

Be aware of there is digital APRS and analog APRS, some radios do only have one of these. Anytone AT-D878UVII PLUS has both.

TNC=Terminal Node Controller, radio modem.

6.2.1. APRS on DMR+

Send GPS position to talkgroup (Denmark):

5050 = without SSID (SSID-0)
5055 = House QTH (SSID-5)
5056 = Camping (SSID-6)
5057 = Walking (SSID-7)
5058 = Boat (SSID-8)
5059 = Car (SSID-9)

It should also be possible use a private call to the destination address 238999 (Denmark). The SSID-9 is then used here.

6.3. DMR

6.4. FLrig

FLrig (and FLdigi) help pages for all the software from W1HKJ.

6.4.1. Configuration

On Linux will the USB to serial be a device like /dev/ttyUSB0.

Make sure to have the permission to use this device, add the user to the dialout group.
