Yes, that's a very good point, SAn. I think keeping lime-node as the one
the overrides everything else, makes more sense.
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!
SAn
