Driver installation

Warning

The driver is only tested with Venus OS > 3.00 and < v3.3. It will not work with Venus OS other than that.

Install or update over SSH

Note

Requires root access.

Log into your Venus OS device using a SSH client like Putty or bash. Please change directory to /tmp and run these commands to start the installer:

wget -O /tmp/install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mworion/dbus-cpu/master/install-target.sh
bash /tmp/install.sh

The installer will download the latest released version of the driver and installs it on your system. The location of the install will be in

/data/etc/dbus-cpu

The installer will also create a service file for the driver and enable it. All the installations to the system will be done from this origin with symlinks.

In addition the installer will add lines to

/data/rc.local

to keep the installation persistent over reboots und firmware updates of the venus system. Uninstall will remove this entry.

Last the installer will backup / add some files to the GUI system to make the GUI aware of the more detailed information provided by dbus-cpu. Uninstall will remove these files and changes.

You could customize the installation by editing the script. All scripts are located in the same directory:

/data/etc/dbus-cpu/scripts

Settings

Basically no settings could be made as the driver is designed to be plug and play.

Behavior

dbus-cpu will start automatically after installation. It will read CPU stats (usage, memory) from /proc/stat and /proc/meminfo and publish them on the D-Bus.
