Cross-Compiling Bottlerocket for CM17a Firecracker on Synology

Cross-Compiling Bottlerocket, which uses the Firecracker CM17a:
http://www.linuxha.com/bottlerocket/

Following the 3rd-party app integration guide; configure, make, make install. This puts it in your local machines /usr/local/bin. You then have to upload the program 'br' to your Synology in the same directory.

Set your cross-compiling environment variables to point to the toolchain you installed in /usr/local:

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export CC=/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc
root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export LD=/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-ld
root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export RANLIB=/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-ranlib
root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include"
root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/powerpc-linux/lib"

Run the configure that came with the code giving it a few extra parameters as specified in the guide:

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# ./configure \
> --host=powerpc-unknown-linux \
> --target=powerpc-unknown-linux \
> --build=i686-pc-linux \

Run make:

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# make
/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include -I. -Wall  -O2 -DX10_PORTNAME=\"/dev/ttyS0\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./br_cmd.c
/usr/local/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc -I/usr/local/powerpc-linux/include -I. -Wall  -O2 -DX10_PORTNAME=\"/dev/ttyS0\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./br.c

Run 'make install' which installs it in /usr/local/bin on your local machine:

root@xubuntu-vm:/usr/local/bottlerocket-0.04c# make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 555 br /usr/local/bin

Now copy the file /usr/local/bin/br to your synology in the same directory.


Once that is running, you issue commands as such:

DiskStation> cd /usr/local/bin/
DiskStation> ./br
BottleRocket version 0.04c

Usage: ./br [][()  ...]

  Options:
  -v, --verbose   add v's to increase verbosity
  -x, --port=PORT  set port to use
  -c, --house=[A-P]  use alternate house code (default "A")
  -n, --on=LIST   turn on devices in LIST
  -f, --off=LIST  turn off devices in LIST
  -N, --ON   turn on all devices in housecode
  -F, --OFF   turn off all devices in housecode
  -d, --dim=LEVEL[,LIST] dim devices in housecode to  relative LEVEL
  -B, --lamps_on  turn all lamps in housecode on
  -D, --lamps_off  turn all lamps in housecode off
  -r, --repeat=NUM  repeat commands NUM times (0 = ~ forever)
  -h, --help   this help

  is a comma separated list of devices (no spaces),
  each ranging from 1 to 16
 is an integer from -12 to 12 (0 means no change)
 is a letter between A and P
 is one of ON, OFF, DIM, BRIGHT, ALL_ON, ALL_OFF,
  LAMPS_ON or LAMPS_OFF

For native commands,  should only be specified for ON or OFF.
