I recently purchased an Asus Tinkerboard S computer for use as a portable telescope mounted computer. I've noticed others have had luck getting kstars / ekos working and I wanted to post my notes so others might benefit. First off, Armbian Bionic is the OS you want. So far its worked with
minimal issues. Kstars installs but
as of right now, there is a missing sql5 dependency and kstars won't start. This has been mentioned several times in these forums so I won't go into detail. You simple add the missing dependancy:
sudo apt-get install libqt5sql5-sqlite
and kstars will load as expected. For those wondering, the uname -a output looks as follows:
Linux ekos 4.19.16-rockchip #5.72 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 17 09:56:02 CET 2019 armv7l
Indiweb:
Before you can install indiweb, you will need to install pip:
sudo apt install python-pip
But wait... your not done. First you need to install some additional modules and libraries:
pip install setuptools
pip install wheel
And the python dev libraries:
sudo apt install python-dev
sudo apt install python3-dev
And finally, you can install indiweb:
As I find out other useful information about this config, I'll update this post. One thing I can say for sure, this thing is fast!
Cheers
