Pi shuts down on ControlBlock driver install

jimkill

I'm trying to setup the drivers for a Control block and when I run through the quick install with

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/master/install.sh | sudo bash

It runs through and it seems like it's just about done and the Pi shuts off completely, there are no error messages and I have to turn it back on by hand. All the folders are there and the files from what I can tell but the config file is blank and it's not recognized by retropie.

I have run all the prerequisites and I've tried this 3 times from scratch with the same outcome.

This is on a Pi4 with a brand new ControlBlock I got a few months ago.

UPDATE on this. I restarted the build from scratch and tried installing the driver without the quick install and I get an error during building. I follow all the steps and when I type make it gets 42% through and gives me.

Any ideas what is going on? It was making it further than this on the quick install.

You're missing the libgpiod-dev package. If you already have RetroPie installed, then I suggest to install the driver from the RetroPie-Setup script - it's in the drivers package section. The install script will take care of any dependencies and build options.

@mitu Thanks for pointing to that! From the terminal output above, I come to the same impression.

@jimkill The install script from https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2#quick-installation contains the installation of said library, though (see https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/blob/master/install.sh#L10). So, something seems to go wrong with the installation of that package. What does it say when you directly execute

apt-get install -y git cmake g++ doxygen libc6 libc6-dev libgpiod-dev gpiod

?

Besides that the terminal output above looks a bit scrambled. Maybe it is just a copy-paste or an encoding issue or it is something more severe, like the file system is corrupted.

@petrockblog the github instructions seem to be missing the libgpiod-dev and gpiod. It looks like it just stops after libc6-dev. I'll get these two things added and see if that fixes the problem. Thank you!

The terminal output text above was copied from a screengrab so I think it read some characters incorrectly.

@petrockblog ok that got me a bit further but now when I get to

sudo make installservice

it crashes and the pi shuts off completely. Any ideas?

I finally got the driver to enable through the retropie config screen without shutting the whole thing down. I had to update all drivers, packages and everything on the pi through the retropie config screen and then I was able to enable the ControlBlock driver. When I edited the controlblock config file it was blank so I added all the code that is usually there and configured it to work with arcade and a power button. I restarted everything and it's like it's not even there. jtest doesn't even pull up, ControlBlock isn't on services running. I'm at a loss. I've been messing with this for a week now and it doesn't work like it should.

Anyone willing to take a look at my boot and see if they can see what I'm missing?
