Embedded Uptime Project (euptime) for Asus RT-N66U & RT16 - help needed

Embedded Uptime Project (euptime) for Asus RT-N66U, RT16N & ARM-Devices (RT-AC68U)

Hi,

Is there a chance to compile the executable for the Embedded Uptime Project (euptime) for the Asus RT-N66U & RT16 router?
Edit: Now also avaliable for the ARM-based routers...

The background and sources of the euptime daemon can be found online at: http://www.euptime.de/index.php - in the download section.

Thank you for your kind support!

With kind regards
Joe

They seem to have a version for Linksys routers running DD-WRT - pretty good chance that this would also run on an RT-N66U.

No chance!

PS Fits to stock AsusWRT and AsusWRT-Merlin.

Thank you very much!!! It works like a charm!

Here is the uptime pictures of my Asus router:

I will writeup a small how-tow later today - in case somebody want's to have the uptime of his Asus routers published...

With kind regards

Howto: Setup Embedded Uptime Project (euptime) on your ASUS router

A small Howto for setting up the Embedded Uptime Project (euptime) for ASUS routers.

1) Create an account on www.euptime.de in the register dialog.
Later you can login and lookup the devices online and configure the status information design.

2) Copy the stbup executable to the router from here - many thanks to ryzhov_al for providing it!
Place the executable into a folder which will survive reboots (NOT in tmp) and even firmware update: In my case the Optware bin-folder (/opt/bin) was selected.

3) Change the file mode to make it executable:

chmod 755 /opt/bin/stbup
 
ls -lah /opt/bin/stbup
-rwxr-x-r-x    1 admin    root       21.2K Jun 13 09:21 /opt/bin/stbup

4) Create the stbup.conf file for the configuation. Again it should be stored on the router to survive reboots and firmware updates: In my case I have again choosen the Optware etc-folder (/opt/etc).

Example of an stbup.conf:

STBUP_ON=1
USERNAME=xxxxxx (Login-Name)
PASSNAME=yyyyyy (Password)
DESCRIPTION=RouterName
INTERVAL=60 (update interval in Minutes)
GROUPID=4 (4 for Routers)
DEBUGMODE=1
SERVERNAME=http://www.embedded-uptime-project.com

Remove the information in brackets () and add your inputs to the section!

5) Test the stbup setup via telnet command:

[ -e /opt/bin/stbup ] && /opt/bin/stbup -C /opt/etc/stbup.conf &

Output of the command should be like this:

[stbup] found 2 interfaces
[stbup]     MAC=000000000000 by Interface=lo
[stbup]     MAC=C43DC7xxyyzz by Interface=eth0
[stbup] Username='xxxxxx'
[stbup] GroupID=4
[stbup] Uptime Server='http://www.embedded-uptime-project.com'
[stbup] Interval=3600sec
[stbup] Description='RouterName'
[stbup] Host='www.embedded-uptime-project.com', Port=80
[stbup] Update OK Uptime 48917
[stbup] next Update in 60 min

6) Put the start command into a place to start it on reboot. For Merlin's firmware it would be a good place in the User Script post-mount (in /jffs/scripts folder).
Here my post-mount script (incl. the parts for Optware start as stbup and conf-file are there):

#!/bin/sh
/bin/sleep 3s
/usr/bin/logger -t START_$(basename $0) "started [$@]"
SCRLOG=/tmp/$(basename $0).log
touch $SCRLOG
echo "START_$(basename $0) started [$@]" >> $SCRLOG
if [ $1 = "/tmp/mnt/sdcard" ]
then
mkdir /tmp/opt >> $SCRLOG
/bin/mount -o bind /tmp/mnt/sdcard/Optware /opt >> $SCRLOG
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start >> $SCRLOG
[B][ -e /opt/bin/stbup ] && /opt/bin/stbup -C /opt/etc/stbup.conf &[/B]
fi
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Error in postmount execution! Script: $0" >> $SCRLOG
else
echo "Postmount execution OK. Script: $0" >> $SCRLOG
fi
/usr/bin/logger -t STOP_$(basename $0) "return code $?"
exit $?

Hope you have fun with this!

With kind regards
Joe

Hi,

Any change to get euptime compiled for the RT-AC68U (does not MIPSel CPU anymore)?

With kind regards
Joe

Any change to get euptime compiled for the RT-AC68U (MIPS CPU)?

May be ARM?

 

[joegreat]

May be ARM?

Yes, ARMed is always better!
