Prepare or Fix Linux for EmuFlight, BetaFlight, CleanFlight, ButterFlight, all the flights

Prepare or Fix Linux for EmuFlight, BetaFlight, CleanFlight, ButterFlight, or any other *Flight

Linux Serial/USB device access

Edit/create udev rules: (use vi, nano, or any text editor)

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-myusb.rules

Copy/paste this content and save it: (See STM list here: https://devicehunt.com/view/type/usb/vendor/0483)

# ALL STMicroelectronics devices & DFU
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="****", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="****", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"

Then reload the rules:

sudo udevadm control --reload

You must add yourself (username) to plugdev group.

sudo usermod -a -G plugdev $USER

You must add yourself to the dialout group for tty/serial permissions: (This fixes Failed to open serial port: FILE_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED)

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

You must now logout/login to update user access rights. Afterward, you may run Configurator which should properly connect to flight controllers.


note: some older OS could use GROUP="users", but newer OS seem to not allow it.

PowerCLI enable CBT

PowerCLI enable CBT on VM’s where CBT is disabled

Problem: Some VM’s have CBT disabled.

Warning: Maybe CBT should not be enabled in your environment. There are pre-requisites and if unpatched hosts, potential bugs with CBT. Please be diligent in researching CBT (Change Block Tracking) first.

Solution: (note: bypasses any VM's with existing snapshots)



~~~
As always, good luck.

List VMWare VM's with attached ISO's

Problem: I need to find all VM’s with ISO’s attached to the virtual CD-Roms.

Prerequisite: VMWare PowerCLI for PowerShell

Solution:

$vCenter = "YOURVCENTERHOSTNAME"
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core | Out-Null
Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenter | Out-Null

#The actual working code to list attached ISO's
Get-VM | Get-CDDrive | Where-Object { $_.IsoPath -ne $null } | Select-Object Parent, IsoPath | Format-Table -auto

Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Good Luck!!!
