Web2Board works in raspberry pi¿?

[blascarr]

Hi.

I´m trying to install web2board on a Raspberry Pi with deb packages but architechture does not match.

I´m running it specifycally on Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie)

Is there any option to work web2board on a raspberry with a different package or a different Raspberry distro?

Thanks

Hi @blascarr, web2board can't work in ARM architecture. You can use Bitbloq in a raspberry pi using the online compilation option to avoid the web2board install. Remember to add the user to the dialout group to give them access to the serial port, you can use this command
"sudo adduser username_to_include dialout"

To activate the online compilation option, go to Bitbloq, then go to profile configuration, and activate the flag, and reload the website, you can try to compile and upload now.
The compile process will be done in our servers, and a chrome extension will be installed to upload the compiled program to the board.

Kind regards!

Thanks, but i wanted to use bitbloq_offline in order to avoid online compilation.

Sometimes wifi connection does not work properly. If web2board does not work with ARM architecture, i will search an alternative solution.

Thanks for your support and platforms.

Hi again, sorry :( , maybe one option can be use the arduino ARM ide (https://blog.arduino.cc/2016/05/17/discover-the-latest-arduino-build-for-arm-linux/) inside Bitbloq to compile with the command line, and you can upload with the arduino ide too, or the avrgirl project.
I create a functional PoC time ago in the dev-mkb branch in bitbloq offline (https://github.com/bq/bitbloq-offline/tree/dev-mkb) with the arduino ide, maybe you can try to change the arduino ide in this branch with the arm version.
Another option is install platformio (http://platformio.org/get-started/cli) in the raspberry, and call the pio commands from Bitbloq (https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback).

You can change the process to compile/upload in the actionBar.js file in the 157 line (https://github.com/bq/bitbloq-offline/blob/dev-mkb/app/scripts/controllers/actionBar.js)

Later you can compile Bitbloq-offline to ARM architecture with the "grunt build:linuxArm" command

@blascarr I'm looking for exactly the same thing. Did you manage to find a way to do what you wanted? Did you take the roads suggested by @tocalvo?
