So simple :) Thanks.

Works perfectly, reboot test, will be done with the next update :P

The short text version is for version 1.0:

Install Package:

Code Select Expand

pkg add https://github.com/cloudfence/dev-packages/raw/master/os-apuled-1.0.txz

Then add the minute cron refresh for APULED, Apply and finish

Hey Julio,

Neat, do you want to do a PR against our plugins for inclusion? I'm sure there's a bit of work and discussion coming up but it's better than a compiled daemon so ideally we should go for merging this simple script instead. :)


Cheers,

Hi Franco!

Sure! Done!

Hi Franco

I assume the APULED plugin should show up on my OPNsense 20.1.3 plugin page as I can see it in the 20.1 repo (https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/tree/stable/20.1)? Or where can I see which are the "current" plugins available for 20.1.3 ?

Kind regards
KoS

os-apuled is still in development mode due to missing community feedback.

# pkg install os-apuled-devel


Cheers,
Franco

Thank you Franco. I'll try it.

Is there a way to see which of the plugins are in the normal repo and which are only available as dev?
I am new to OPNsense and haven't found it yet. e.g. something like http://packages.debian.org/).

How/where shall I provide feedback on the plugin? github? create a new issue on github?

[franco]

Feedback anywhere is nice, just let us know you're using the plugin successfully and want to have it released. :)

I added the "(development only)" notes to https://github.com/opnsense/plugins#a-list-of-currently-available-plugins


Cheers,

I am using the plugin successfully :-)

FYI, due to a change in the APU Bios I had to add the line

Code Select Expand

debug.acpi.avoid="\_SB_.PCI0.GPIO" to loader.conf to make the general APULED module work again.
(see https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/2114#issuecomment-609365754 and https://github.com/pcengines/coreboot/issues/329#issuecomment-526217280)
-> It survived the OPNsense upgrade from 20.1.3 to 20.1.4

I want to do changes on the module, e.g. I would suggest to have the 1st LED always blinking to have "heartbeat", as I had in the past APU boards that freezed and if the LED is always on, you would not notice that the device got stuck. Should I "pre-discuss" it somewhere or just provide a pull-request in Github?

Hi kos!

Thank you!

I think you can submit a PR on the Github: https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/pulls

That is a long running story, unfortunately with no result. Somebody demoed a youtube video that it works under linux. But under Freebsd i think it was never done.

Do LEDs work with the 21.7 version and apu4d4?

[senser]

Works for me on OPNsense 21.7.4-amd64. But under plugins it sais the plugin is (misconfigured).

Hi,

sorry for chiming in,

I made a simple plugin to get APUs boxes more shiny!

I've compiled the LED's module from this source code: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189772

I know that isn't a good idea to put a binary (compiled) in a plugin package, but I don't know exactly how put this module with the plugin yet... maybe build a custom port and put it as plugin dependence... Anyway ideas are very welcome!

did you succeed to compile that source code against freeBSD 14 current? If yes would you be so kind and make the binary available?

Thank you and have a nice day,
firedog

It has been included in OPNsense for ages.
