I keep getting the SysRq HELP printout, basically seems i can send over serial the sysrq but it won't accept the next key within 5 seconds ie the command key (b) to reboot.
I need to send the command programmatically over serial console connection to reboot system.
I can reboot the system via echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger and cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq is 1 (ie full sysrq is enabled)
But I notice that kernel (2.6.32) image I'm booting with only has CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y and there's no mention of CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL. I'd like to know if that setting is required for 2.6.32 or if it was "assumed enabled" and its only required in new kernels.
According to this, I don't need that in my kernel since it was only added to apparently optionally disable sysrq over serial to prevent unwanted triggers.
Anyway I don't really care if PERL is used or PYTHON or C code with tcsendbreak or any programmatic method to send alt-sysrq-b over /dev/ttyUSB0 to reboot linux over serial. So far all i can do is send break sequence and see output of:
SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom
l-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registe
-blocked-tasks(W)
But the command key sent afterward never does anything. So I'm not sure what's wrong. FYI, the system I'm trying to send sysrq over serial to is an embedded linux system that boots via uboot with uimage and dtb file.
Instead of using a break signal I would prefer a technique where the code actually sends the Alt-SysRq-b keyboard keys over the serial console connection.
I am working on Android 9 provided by qualcomm. There are two uart devices /dev/ttyHSL0, /dev/ttyHSL1. ttyHSL0 is used for console and ttyHSL1 for communicating another chip. But my application cannot open /dev/ttyHSL1 device successfully.
it gives;
03-21 13:27:17.635 10303 10303 W edev.serialtool: type=1400 audit(0.0:23): avc: denied { read } for name="ttyHSL1" dev="tmpfs" ino=16426 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app_25:s0:c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:serial_device:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=0
when i set selinux to permisive mode in console, it works. But it needs to be permanent.
How can i add necessary rule to solve this problem?
Thank you very much and

Using wpa_supplicant 2.4 on ARM Debian.
Is there a way to get signal level, in decibels or percents, of the wireless network I’m currently connected to?
STATUS command only returns the following set of values: bssid, freq, ssid, id, mode, pairwise_cipher, group_cipher, key_mgmt, wpa_state, ip_address, p2p_device_address, address, uuid
I can run SCAN afterwards, wait for results and search by SSID. But that’s slow and error-prone, I'd like to do better.
The driver should already know that information (because connected, and adjusting transmit levels for energy saving), is there a way to just query for that?
This question is not about general computing hardware and software. I'm using wpa_supplicant through a C API defined in wpa_ctrl.h header, interacting with the service through a pair of unix domain sockets (one for commands, another one for unsolicited events).
One reason I don’t like my current SCAN + SCAN_RESULT solution, it doesn’t work for hidden SSID networks. Scan doesn’t find the network, therefore I’m not getting signal level this way. Another issue is minor visual glitch at application startup. My app is launched by systemd, After=multi-user.target. Unless it’s the very first launch, Linux is already connected to Wi-Fi by then. In my app’s GUI (the product will feature a touch screen), I render a phone-like status bar, that includes WiFi signal strength icon. Currently, it initially shows minimal level (I know it's connected because STATUS command shows SSID), only after ~1 second I’m getting CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS event from wpa_supplicant, run SCAN_RESULT command and update signal strength to the correct value.
On the API level my code is straightforward. I have two threads for that, both call wpa_ctrl_open, the command thread calls wpa_ctrl_request, the event thread has an endless loop that calls poll passing wpa_ctrl_get_fd() descriptor and POLLIN event mask, followed by wpa_ctrl_pending and wpa_ctrl_recv.

You can get the signal level of the connected wifi by wpa_supplicant cmd SIGNAL_POLL
The wpa_supplicant would return:
RSSI=-60
LINKSPEED=867
NOISE=9999
FREQUENCY=5745
The value of the RSSI is the signal level.
You can get the signal level of the connected wifi by wpa_supplicant cmd BSS <bssid>.
About the bssid of the connected wifi, you can get from wpa_supplicant cmd STATUS.

For iw compatible devices:
Following command gives the current station(aka AP) signal strength:
iw dev wlp2s0 station dump -v
If you need C API, just dig the source code of iw.
After a quick glance, the function you need is here
For broadcom devices, try search broadcom wl. It is close source, don't know if C API is provided.
I can perform normal scan using ioctl SIOCSIWSCAN and SIOCGIWSCAN and get list of AP, but when I set card into monitor mode i get errno = Operation not supported.
Is there a different ioctl call for passive scans??
I know the wifi card is not the issue, because I get results with airodump-ng and I checked two different cards.
First, on the command line type:
iw phy <phy> info
and see if new_interface is listed under supported commands. You can get the phy for your cards by:
iw dev
Second, I have found that it's easier to set a card in monitor mode if I delete all interfaces on the phy first. Some cards don't play well if there are interfaces active.
Use ioctl to bring cards up or down and to get the card's hw addr. Otherwise you should be using netlink - You're looking for NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE in nl80211.h
Fatfs is a small library written in C ansi that lets us manage a file system on a storage device. I am planning on using it in an embedded project in order to store several files on an SD Card.
Therefore I try to make some tests on a USB flash drive, having downloaded the provided examples. I can mount my usb flash drive.
After having compiled the sources without the option FS_READONLY, I have initialized my drive and mounted it as well. But I cannot create a directory!
Here is the commands I entered within the prompt example provided here: http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/ffsample.zip
>fi 2 (force initialisation)
rc=0 FR_OK
>di 2 (mount the drive)
rc=0
Sector size = 512
Number of sectors = 30282525
>fj (switch the current drive to '2', which is actually my usb stick)
rc=0 FR_OK
>fk foo (Attempt to create a dir called 'foo')
rc=1 FR_DISK_ERR
Taking a look at the documentation, we're informed that FR_DISK_ERR refers to an hardware error.
Is my flash drive badly formated? Did I miss something else during the initialisation?
