Software#

Versioning is reported at /opt/settings/sys/ver.X and at the Raspberry Shake’s internal rs.local/ web-page.

Note

Raspberry Shake updates are automatic updates and do not require you to do anything. Within a week’s time from the release date, your Raspberry Shake will automatically update.

Note

All models of Raspberry Shake, including the RS1D, RS3D, RS4D, RBOOM, RS&BOOM and RJAM use the same software.

Note

How automatic updates work: In order to avoid overwhelming the update server, normal non-mission critical updates are randomly staggered throughout the week. Each Shake will request an update from the server at its own, unique time. During the update data flow will be detained temporarily. When the update process has finished, the unit will be rebooted as part of the update procedure. This will result in a small data gap.

Note

If you notice that the web front-end is not updating after an automatic software update, clear your browser cache using CTRL+F5 for Windows and Linux users (Command+Shift+R for Mac users).

Most recent#

ver.20

Original Release date: February 14, 2022

Update May 9, 2023: Added support for newer GPS modules, for both 3 Model B and 4 Model B Pi types.

Bug Fixes:

  • FE config screen (rs.local/) could sometimes be blank on 1st-time system startup.Now there are measures to prevent this.

  • Data Forwarding option would get turned OFF when rebooting the unit using the FE config ACTIONS button. This issue has been resolved.

  • Added support for 4 Model B Pi boards, including the most recent Pi Foundation builds.

This release also contains some under-the-hood improvements and general maintenance modifications.

Older versions#

ver.19

Release date: September 22, 2021

Enhancements:

  • Provide fallback DNS servers when DHCP-provided servers fail

  • Identify serial port name (to Shake board) automatically instead of relying on Pi revision numbers. This fixes the problem when new Pi versions are released, but Shake-OS didn’t know about them yet.

  • Non-essential services are disabled to tighten potential security holes, i.e, this disallows unneeded network connections

  • Better WiFi management

  • Better exception logging throughout the Shake-OS

  • FE-config: better password management

Bug Fixes:

  • GPS clock management now handles the case when GPS clock lock is delayed after system boot-up.

  • GPS: guarantee that ipv6 bindings are always turned off (since ipv6 is turned off at the OS leavel)

This release also includes many under-the-hood improvements and general maintenance modifications. As well, infrastructure modifications in anticipation of the next releases.

ver.15

Release date: March 9, 2019

Note

raspberryshake.local was replaced by rs.local/.

Enhancements:

  • Web Front End Configuration Program:

    • Network configuration

      • Wifi Settings: Sophisticated interface to select Wifi network to connect to and setting static IP

      • Ethernet static IP

      • DNS configuration

    • UDP configuration, removing any need to configure UDP data-streaming from command line. Any number of destinations is now configurable.

    • Setting location using map has been simplified and made more intuitive.

    • MAC address displayed on home page for both Ethernet and Wifi interfaces. This is intended for easy access to the MAC address for network configuration purposes (thanks Alan K.)

  • Stand-alone mode added: new setting where the system no longer assumes there is a connection to the Internet at large. What this means is that the system will startup and be fulling operation without DNS and NTP servers. This is relevant for remote installations where connections to the Internet is impossible yet data acquisition is still desirable. Timing can be set using the date command OR, preferably, by attaching a GPS antenna. This was done for a user who wanted deploy a Raspberry Shake in Antarctica (thanks Tiegan H.).

  • Enhancement to data transfer protocol where a reset of the server program, does not result in a lost data packet

  • timing quality parameter stored in the miniSEED record finalized to match the following specifications:

    • NTP lock: timing quality parameter set to 90

    • NTP not started: 0

  • tty overruns in system log files are now detected and logged to /opt/log/system.log (thanks John B.)

Updates:

  • IMPORTANT!!!!: raspberryshake.local will no longer resolve, now replaced by rs.local/ where solution is now platform specific to work on Linux, MAC and Windows with no need for external software solutions such as Fing (thanks to many users who notified us that the raspberryshake.local solution was not working on Windows)

  • SWARM:

    • Swarm’s default.maxFreq changed from 25 to 50 Hz, allowing full spectrogram to be shown for all channels- the adjustment from 50 to 25 Hz is done automatically by Swarm for SHZ channels

    • Updated to version 2.8.8

  • helicorder directory pruning enhanced to also base deletion rule on filename timestamp, not just OS timestamp (thanks Marco W.).

  • rc.local file updated to remove spurious action 17 OS error messages (thanks ChrisR)

  • Save only last 7 days of data on station name change to avoid possible filling up of disk

  • Data Producer Program:

    • Save last message sent to data server, available for re-send on server disconnect / reconnect sequence - an attempt to reduce gaps on server bounce

    • No NTP on unit? Then no data is sent to the server

    • Timing Quality parameter now set as:

      • No NTP => 0

      • NTP => 90

ver.9

Release date: February 10, 2018

Enhancements:

  • Added USB GPS timing solution. See GPS Antenna for details. Visit our shop to get your GPS antenna.

  • NTP mods:

    • Better detection of accessible network. Internet detection relies less on ping than before. Instead, the Raspberry Shake first tries to issue a curl command to common websites. When this succeeds (as it most likely will), no ping is attempted. Meaning: you can now configure your router to disallow incoming pings without a negative effect on how the Raspberry Shake will determine internet access.

    • More accurate assessment of NTP to eliminate possibility of false positives- this will solve some timing issues

    • Restart after power cycle better handles out-of-order restart of components (router, IP address assignment, etc.)

    • Rely less on ping for network detection

  • Swarm config file is regenerated if IP address changes between reboots (per Jefferson’s request)

  • Logging was enhanced. A special new logging routine was included to gather system information we commonly requested users to do from command-line. Execute “myshake” from command-line to check it out. Output of the myshake command is logged to /opt/log/myshake.out

    $ myshake

  • Output memory usage to /opt/log/mem-usage.out once per day

  • Loads of under-the-hood stuff to improve overall experience

Updates:

  • Wifi one-time modification:

    • If Ethernet is on, and wifi is enabled in user config file, wifi is set to OFF in config file

    • Users wishing to have both Ethernet and wifi interfaces active will need to reset the config file back to ON explicitly, apologies for the inconvenience.

  • Swarm updated to new version: 2.8.2

  • Support for Raspberry Pi revision a52082 added

  • UDP Port Output: Added missing config file for port 8888

  • NTP: changed from init.d to systemctl

Bug Fixes:

  • Postboot enhanced to handle multilple interfaces have saming prefix (e.g., eth*), allowing both a GPRS and an ethernet connection simultaneously. We have added a section to the manual to cover this:: How to setup USB GPRS

ver.8

Release date: October 21, 2017

Bug Fixes:

  • Front-End - When a network connection was detected sometime after boot-up (likely to happen after a general power outage), the IP address would be defined as NONE, when that obviously wasn’t true. There were no other negative effects from this.

Updates:

  • Enabling use of WiFi has been simplified. Instead of defaulting WiFi to OFF (to avoid RF spikes in the data stream), it now defaults to ON unless an Ethernet interface is found, in which case it is turned OFF during the boot-up process.

    For those users who want both WiFi and Ethernet ON, a simple configuration file is provided to override the WiFi OFF rule when an Ethernet interface is found. Please see the User Guide for details: How to configure Wifi and USB wifi dongles from command-line

    This change will eliminate data spikes that occur when using an Ethernet connection but the wifi modules are left enabled, periodically awakening to check the surroundings for new wifi connections.

  • Swarm has been updated to the latest and greatest, version 2.8.0. The Swarm config file also now defines the connection to the CAPS data server.

Enhancements:

  • And in an exciting development (pun intended), the Data Producer Service now outputs the seismometer data to any number of configurable UDP ports, located on the local Shake Pi, or any other computer located on your network. This allows you to programmatically connect to the port(s) to read the seismometer data in the fastest way possible, allowing you to process the data in any way you like, and in real time. Complete description and documentation can be found in the Developer’s Corner of the User Guide. We look forward to user submissions resulting from this exciting new feature!: Raspberry Shake Data Producer UDP Port Output

ver.7

Release date: August 29, 2017

Under the Hood Changes:

  5. Web front-end: Better backwards compatibility on reading data files in older format

  6. Web front-end: small bug fixes

Under the Hood Changes:

  1. System - On station name change, guarantee that new name is properly propagated to server

  2. Helicorder display: number of plots displayed = (Days of data to save) * (2 helicorders per day)- a work around for the Days2Keep bug in heli_ewII program

  3. Raspberry Shake 3D / 4D support for helicorder display

  4. Raspberry Shake 3D / 4D support for Data Producer service

  5. Some under the hood changes meant to ensure a smooth user experience

Outstanding issues:

  1. Data producer program can reset under certain circumstances creating a one minute gap in the data when access to the server intermittently is not available, as seen in the web helicorder. Fix available within the next week.

ver.4

Release date: June 14th, 2017

Web Interface Changes:

  1. Web front-end: It is no longer necessary to use port :5000 to access the Raspberry Shake’s internal webpage

  2. Web front-end (Home page): Added station-specific hyperlink to stationView

  3. Web front-end (Home page): Display status of: system, data services and connection to server

  8. Web front-end (Settings): Number of days of waveforms to save now configurable

    Warning

    Be careful when configuring this parameter! You risk filling up the disk space. If this happens, you will not longer be able to access your Raspberry Shake. By default we ship Raspberry Shakes with an 8 Gb micro SD card. We estimate the that OS and software consume ~3 Gb of disk space, leaving you with ~5 Gb for data. At 15 Mb/ day/ channel, that is ~330 days MAX for the RS1D and much less for the 3D.

  9. Web front-end (Settings): Added two questions about floor level to help the automated earthquake processing system on the Raspberry Shake Community Server more accurately determine magnitudes

  10. Web front-end (Settings): Save and Restart Button - previously rebooted machine, now does a restart of data services instead, resulting in a quicker system re-initiation

  11. Web front-end (Actions): Log files now directly downloadable from web front-end

  12. Web front-end (Actions): Added the ability to reboot and shutdown the Raspberry Pi (these functions are password protected)

  13. Web front-end (Actions): Added the ability to change the Raspberry Pi (ssh) password

  14. Web front-end (Actions): Added hyperlinks for Instagram, Google+ and the manual

  2. Data Producer: Improved NTP timing algorithm including NTP bug fixes that could result in 1 millisecond timing errors

  3. Data Producer: Make units work in field when there is no Internet connection (when NTP is not available)

  4. Data Producer: Raspberry Shake now detects network availability after system boot

  5. Data Producer: More sophisticated read of firmware output to work with all Raspberry Shake models now and in the future

  6. Data Consumer: watch-dog implemented for all programs, auto-restarted on crash

  7. Data Consumer: OSOP Wave Server (OWS) updated to latest version

  8. PostBoot: Output of all system commands forced to be English for successful parsing

  9. PostBoot: On station name change, all waveform files are saved to a tar file and placed into directory /opt/data/.

  10. PostBoot: Station name tied to MAC address of Ethernet interface only. This fixes the problem where station name changed when the network interface changed from wifi to Ethernet or vice versa.

  11. PostBoot: Correctly handle the case when eth0 has an IP address starting with 172. IP’s beginning with 172.17 will continue to be unrecognized.

  12. PostBoot: Enhanced for quicker startup

  13. Support added for the latest 3 Model B revision (a32082), latest Pi Zero (920093) and the new Pi Zero W (9000c1) to the SD card image
