Python six is already installed in the image though local.conf
IMAGE_INSTALL_append_pn-mdm9x28-image-minimal = " python-six python-paho-mqtt"

pymodbus recipe is created using the recipetool in Bitbake command:

recipetool -d create -o yocto/meta-openembedded/meta-python/recipes-devtools/python/pymodbus_2.5.2.bb GitHub - riptideio/pymodbus: A full modbus protocol written in python

Attached is the recipe which is giving error .

looking for any modifications required to build the recipe
pymodbus_2.5.2.bb (4.1 KB)

how about adding the following recipe in
./meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/recipes-core/images/mdm9x28-image.inc

IMAGE_INSTALL_append =" pymodbus"

Pankaj · July 29, 2021, 11:00am

@jyijyi

Will try the suggestion but I think it should not make a difference as "IMAGE_INSTALL_append_pn-mdm9x28-image-minimal mentions the correct target to add the recipe.

Pankaj · July 29, 2021, 11:11am

In case if python six is not installed I believe Rdepends should take care of providing a error but it doesn’t. Below is the RDEPENDS from the recipe:

RDEPENDS_${PN} += “python-2to3 python-contextlib python-core python-crypt python-distutils python-io python-json python-lang python-logging python-math python-netserver python-setuptools python-shell python-six python-threading python-unittest”

So ideally I should have got a build error with no provider for Python-six , but rather I see error reported on import statement in compat.py

I believe may have to add some tasks intially before compiling pymodbus

I found that I cannot add
IMAGE_INSTALL_append =" python-pymodbus"

it seems it is not officially supported.

Hi Pankaj,

If you are trying to make a Modbus master, maybe have a quick read of this wiki link,
https://bitbucket.org/m2mconnectivity/pyrtedoc/wiki/Modbus%20master
If it helps, here is the home of wiki which tries to include Python3 and popular modules(such as pyserial, requests) without rebuilding Linux image for Legato modules/FX30s,
m2mconnectivity / PyRTEdoc / wiki / Home — Bitbucket

@billzhou

Yes looking for Modbus master this one looks to be helpful the implementation seems to be based on Minimal Modbus which supports only RTU any suggestions for modbus TCP.

billzhou · July 30, 2021, 9:06am

Hi Pankaj,

Here pls find the guide on how to install Python modules without rebuilding image and it uses PyModbus as example,
m2mconnectivity / PyRTEdoc / wiki / Install a Python module — Bitbucket

Hope it helps.

@billzhou

Can you let me know where do we get the pyrte application?

Thanks

Hi Pankaj,

The download page of PyRTE looks not ready. If you’d need it now, please message me your email, with your FX30/WP model and firmware version, I’d be happy to arrange you the installers.

Pankaj · August 4, 2021, 7:14am

@billzhou ,

you can email me the installers for wp76 rel13.1 firmware on pankajrsant@gmail.com

billzhou · April 12, 2022, 12:37am

The free download page for PyRTE is here if any one needs it,

Currently it supports FX30 Cat M1 and WP7702. Firmware Release 14.
