Run interactive PyACI on an embedded linux OS ?

[ValentinL]

Hello Nordic,

I worked with the interactive PyACI during several months by using my PC (running the interactive PyACI) connected through usb to a DK used as provisioner.
Everything works fine. Now I would like to run this script (interactive PyACI) on a Embedded Linux running on a IMX28 processor.
The purpose is that the Linux processor can communicate with the nrf52 for provisionning, configuration,... I just want the same behaviour as now with the nRF52 connected to the PC via USB.
I just replace the PC by an embedded linux running on a IMX28 processor.

Is it possible ? How can I do that ? how do I have to configure the serial com so that the OS can communicate with the nrF52 ?
What do I have to configure in the Embedded Linux kernel,... ?

I am a bit lost, I need some help :)

Thank you very much !

Hi VelentinL, 

What you are trying to do is a bit outside of what we support. So I don't know if it would run on your platform. 
You would need to check if python can be compiled and run on your platform. Next is to check if the library used in PyACI is compiled and can be used on your platform. They are the modules listed in requirements.txt

So most importantly you need to find if you can run Python and access UART on your IMX28 processor.

Hello,

Yes I realize today that it was a bit outside the box of "nrf devices" so thank you very much for your answer. 
So I will try to install the python packages on the IMX28 and test the UART communication with the nrf52832.
I will let you know if it works :)

have a nice day,

Valentin
