Hi all!
The Ninux Valsamoggia team is configuring every antenna with specific settings like name,
frequency and distance.
So we developed a new feature: the mac based configuration.
You can create a configuration file /etc/config/lime-[mac address] containing the setting
for the single antenna.
Running lime-config the configuration is read from that file (if available), and has
priority between lime-community and lime-node.
So you can compile a single firmware including multiple config files, one for every
antenna.
EG: the config file for my antenna is lime-9c417c4c8b38 and contains setting: option
hostname 'Lime-foo'
This is a great idea for your use case! Thanks for sharing the code :)
I am not sure if priority should be between lime-community and lime-node or if it should
be the highest priority.
Anyway I think it is a good feature for "centrally managed" communities and/or
other fixed deployments.
You can find the changes here:
https://github.com/itec78/lime-packages/compare/master...itec78:feature/mac…
If you want to test this feature, you can use the feed
https://github.com/itec78/lime-packages.git;feature/mac_config when compiling.
Let me know if it can be a useful feature for the community, and if I can create a pull
request.
I think that this feature may be valuable to other communities too so I would suggest you
to open a pull request so others can comment
and help merging this.
Best!
