System requirements

Current development system

Windows 10 WSL2:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

Python 3.8.5 (default, Jan 27 2021, 15:41:15)

Non-standard dependencies are: 

 uhal (from IPbus)
 PyQt5
 pymongo

requires Ipbus and MongoDB

below are my steps to set it up for WSL2, and not tested for anything else. The general steps should be the same regardless. Terminal lines are marked with $.

Installing dependencies:

IPbus

following https://wiki.uib.no/pct/index.php/Using_IPbus: Guide found under "Smart Dummy Hardware" More step by step (Instructions partly copied from link above, order slightly changed): 

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git g++ make erlang python3 python-is-python3 libboost1.71-all-dev libpugixml-dev

using the IPbus fork of Alf Herland 

git clone https://github.com/alf000/ipbus-software.git
git checkout smartdummy

In the directory where the repository have been downloaded: 

 make
 sudo make install prefix=/home/user/ipbus-install

Adding paths to envirorment: 

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/ipbus-install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/ipbus-install/lib/python3.8/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Originally the second path was user /software-dev/ipbus-install, but i did not have the software-dev part, causing the path to be broken, and the uhal module for python was not found.

Qt5 designer

Following https://askubuntu.com/a/1294861 

 sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools (Not sure if needed)
 sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev

Then 'designer' command worked for me.

PyQt5

Install PyQt5 library with pip: 

 pip3 install PyQt5


MongoDB

Using a fix for WSl from this https://stackoverflow.com/a/62496101 Could work for regular Ubuntu and perhaps others, but the important thing is to have the mongodb service open somehow. Did not need anything like this when running other pymongo code in Windows 10. 

 mongodb-org
 sudo nano /etc/init.d/mongod

Enter this text in the above file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mongodb/mongo/master/debian/init.d 

 sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mongod
 sudo service mongod start

The last two reset after some time, consistent with new updates.

Pymongo

Simple. 

 pip install pymongo



To run the code

access the ipbus

  • go to ipbus-install. for me its /home/user/ipbus-install. To start it:
  • Go to bin and
 ./controlhub_start
  • go to /uhal/tests/
 ./DummyHardwareUdp.exe -p 50001 -v 2 -V

Run program: When IPbus is running, open a new terminal window, go to /production_tests/Config_gui/ 

 python config_v1.py
