Trying to use DroneBridge on AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato)

[ccardiff]

Due to inability to purchase RPi 3 or 4 here in Canada I bought AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) boards to use with my FPV.

I have followed the instructions on wiki but get this error.

gndpi@raspberrypi:~/DroneBridge $ sudo ./start_db start

Is the situation hopeless or can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

The ready made images with many of the camera and OSD related things are only compatible with the raspberry pi. It is possible to run it on other platforms (except for the OSD), however you will have to do the debugging yourself. You can not use the ready-made images and expect them to just work.

Some hints:
/home/pi/DroneBridge/syslog_server/db_syslog_server
Seems like that file is missing or the path is not existing. Try coping it to that location.

vcgencmd: command not found
Raspberry Pi specific command.

/tmp/undervolt: Permission denied
Raspberry Pi specific bit

/home/pi/DroneBridge
folder seems not existing. You need to create user "pi" and copy the files to that location.

As you see there is a lot of info to get things fixed. You will need to do that without my support, since there are simply too many SBCs out there and I can not support them all.

I completed dronebridge work on RK3588 with reference

https://dronebridge.gitbook.io/docs/developer-guide/downloading-and-compiling

It should be noted that if you use OSD, you may not be able to complete the compilation, because OSD uses the strong association module of Raspberry Pi, and compilation cannot be completed directly in other architectures.
