lysmarine / lysmarine_gen

Lysmarine is build with the stability of the raspbian operating system to provide an easy to use, stable, low-cost navigation computer for boats.

Lysmarine gen

This repository contains all the script and files used to create Lysmarine images.

The ready to use image and documentation can be found at http://lysmarineos.com

---

Supported Boards

Since version 0.9.X Lysmarine now have it's custom build tool to be able to compile for multiple single boards computer.

At this time, The tested SBCs are :

• RaspberryPi 3 (armhf and arm64)
• PineA64 LTS (based on the Pine64so kernel)
• Liveusb
• Desktop install

Lysmarine probably build out of the box for most armbian supported SBC, it's just a matter of testing and reporting it.

Content

This repository contains 2 section. The install-scripts contain all the steps needed to create lysmarine on a fresh install while cross-build-release contain the necessary scripts to download the upstream os, mount them, build lysmarine and repackage them for distribution.

The repository also include instructions for circle-ci continuous integration and automatic deployment.

In place build

apt install git
git clone https://github.com/lysmarine/lysmarine_gen.git
sudo mv ./lysmarine_gen/install-scripts / 
cd /install-scripts
sudo chmod -v u+w *.sh
sudo ./install.sh

When the build script is done, you need to reboot. Few things are configured on the first boot.

Do not use round image in the splash screen at boot

The splash screen ratio tend to change a lot across different screens. It's a bad idea to use something round in it (as i did with the compass image). The splash screen image should be changed. Maybe by something animated ;)

UDP vs TCP for NMEA

UDP I think would be a better choice for LAN NMEA network traffic than TCP.
UDP is connectionless so it restores automatically, while I've seen
bugs in SignalK or something else where it wouldn't restore lost TCP connections.

OverlayFS integration tread

Build Stage 97 have been dedicated to the integration of overlayFS
with https://github.com/chesty/overlayroot as work base.

Consider text to speech app

Like here:

(Not free, but you can package install script)

Thanks

Use a fork of OpenCPN to have better touch gestures support

Patch exists.

See
OpenCPN/OpenCPN#2057

Hopefully it will make it into OpenCPN when WxWidgets gets to 3.2 release.

Thanks

Lysmarine need a logo !!!

lysmarine need a logo !!!
And im not a frontend guy so help is welcome.
The logo must fit as icon (24px X 24px) and splash screen (1920X1080) So .svg is kinda a must
And it must not be round as splash screen tend to be stretched to fit screens.
Bonus points if it have reference to the glider of game of life :D

pypilot_control and xterm don't need window borders

pypilot_control and xterm applications don't need window borders.

This can be removed in the openbox config file. There are softwares that have removed borders in it already so it's pretty much a copy/paste/adjust job.

Support for RDP protocol

VNC is good and more wildly supported But RDP provide better integration.

Consider adding some GIS geospacial database and GIS front end UI app

Create tutorials to install lysmarine.

Make a nice graphical install tutorial for:

• linux
• mac
• windows

I only did the Command line install procedure for linux power users cuz that's what I am. But I guess it's a major turnoff for other people.

All the documentation is writhen in markdown sot it's pretty simple to make it look nice.

Sound dosen't work

The sound work, The problem is, HDMI capture it.

tuktuk don't query charts form signalk

Signalk plugin work as expected but tuktuk don't see it... that's probably an upstream problem with the original tuktuk. But this should be confirmed.

Add documentation site to the Operating system.

Please use Ubuntu Fonts on desktop theme (menus, forms, etc) They are much more readable on small touchscreens in a cockpit
(than the fonts raspberry OS is using)

sudo apt-get -y install fonts-ubuntu

And the default theme should be dark like on most smartphones.

Breeze-Dark is a nice theme. I've played with many,

sudo aapt-get -y install breeze-gtk-theme breeze-icon-theme breeze-icon-theme breeze-icon-theme-rcc breeze-cursor-theme

Start lxappearance

and choose 'Breeze-Dark'

Onboard setting reset at every reboot

In openbox autostart there is a line that reload dconf on every boot.
**Workaround is to delete the line in /home/pi/.config/openbox/autostart after the first boot. **

The pi-gen file to blame is stage4/02-onboard/01-run.sh at line:
echo "dconf load /org/onboard/ < /usr/share/onboard/onboard.dconf &" >> /home/pi/.config/openbox/autostart
It's the only way so far I found to load the configs. It's ugly and should be fixed.

Clock does not always set it self alone.

chrony is better then ntpd for devices that goes offline. Many gps device provide pps time format that can be read as a pool server by chrony or ntpd.
I saw that openplotter just set date with on command line from the nmea of the GPS witch have a loose accuracy.

QtVlm instead of packaging it, package a script which makes it simple for a user to install it

This way no licensing issues. User will have to accept the license on a first run of QtVlm.
