Hi,
something I was unable to find in the manuals or online: Can I run custom software (in the background) in addition to Victron's own on a CerboGX/VenusOS?
There are a few use cases I'm looking at, one specifically is to interface with a LIN-Bus via USB and act as a slave device to the LIN-master.
Any hints of where to look?
Thanks,
Michael
Hi @MichaelFr
Venus os is just embedded linux, so yes. (I'm not sure on warranty implications so please do your research first if that's a concern).
If the program/code you have can run on a linux machine (assuming it doesnt require too many resources) it can be done.
This might be a useful starting point: howto add a driver to Venus · victronenergy/venus Wiki · GitHub
It's specific to adding a device to dbus/gx system. But gives you a flavour of what's doable. (There's a load of info on that github wiki page)
(You may increase your chances of more responses you move the question to modifications section of forum rather than question and answer)
Thanks, I'll take a look.
