python support for hardware driver?

  • Hi,

    I noted the penta sata tower is getting hot, so I'd like to add the fan control of it.

    radxa build a package - but only for debian systems.

    I looked into the driver and it looks as if it where only some python scripts.

    I don't know, what linux is libreElec based on - but it has python and I read, that ubuntu is the most commonly used build system.

    The radxa driver installation installs the following python packages on a debian system:

    Code
    python3-rpi.gpio
    python3-setuptools
    python3-pip
    python3-pil
    python3-spidev
    pigpio
    python3-pigpio

    So I'd like to know, whether these modules are available on libreElec too. If not, is it possible to add them?

    This is a listing of the driver package content:

  • I looked into some of the python packages - guess I have to build my own libreElec from git, as python does not contain pip module.

    Is there any advice / intro on how to do things right for libreElec?

    (of cause I have read wiki pages about building libreElec).
