UPS PIco on LibreELEC [RTC and i2c issue]

  • Dear all,


    I'm struggling to install the UPS PIco HV3.0A "Top end" on the RPI3 running libreelec...

    I tried to follow the instructions provided there:

    UPS PIco HV3.0A Stack Plus on LibreELEC - olausson.de

    but I still can't make the UPS work properly. Here are the points I'm having issue


    So I have the RPi running with libreelec properly, I installed the rpi-tools and system-tools addons

    I plugged the UPS and the battery

    1st issue: nevertheless how to check that

    rtc-ds1307 is available as module

    i2c-dev is compiled into the Kernel

    i2c-bcm2708 is compiled into the Kernel


    2nd issue: RTC is giving issues and hwclock does not respond properly:

    PortableKodi:~ # hwclock -s

    hwclock: can't open '/dev/misc/rtc': No such file or directory


    here is what I added to /flash/config.txt (depending on several website:

    Code
    dtparam=i2c_arm=on
    enable_uart=1
    dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307
    # Since LibreELEC 8 is running Kernel 4.9.8 we need to add the below
    # See <a href="http://www.forum.pimodules.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&amp;t=3442">http://www.forum.pimodules.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&amp;t=3442</a> for an explanation
    dtparam=i2c1_baudrate=10000

    3rd issue: modification of picofssd

    the tutorial recommend to modify the "top picofssd", I have no idea what file I should modify

    then I guess I'm stuck there and need to solve those issue before to continue to install the UPS PIco

    I have also posted this post on the pimodules forum PiForum • View forum - UPS PIco HV3.0A and email the author of the tutorial, but if anyone has some hint on those issue I'll be very gratefull to read it!

    as well not sure in which of the forum category I should post I assume dev is ok...?

    Thanks in advance

    Jeremie
