Install fzf/zellij/zoxide

Download them from windows side

• fzf

Or just use samba on windows side.

python

• install pkgs

  sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv

• add pypi mirrors

  # pip config set global.index-url https://mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn/pypi/web/simple
  pip config set global.index-url https://www.piwheels.org/simple

• create venvs

  mkdir -p ~/.virtualenvs
  cd ~/.virtualenvs
  python3 -m venv epics
  source ~/.virtualenvs/epics/bin/activate

• failed to build wheels, then use piwheels

  pip3 install numpy -i https://www.piwheels.org/simple

• numpy failed to import, cannot find openblas

  sudo apt install libopenblas-dev

epics on orange pi zero

sudo apt -y install git net-tools build-essential re2c libnet-dev libpcap-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

• https://epics.anl.gov/download/base/index.php

mkdir $HOME/EPICS
cd $HOME/EPICS
wget https://epics.anl.gov/download/base/base-7.0.8.1.tar.gz
tar xf base-7.0.8.1.tar.gz && ln -s base-7.0.8.1 epics-base
cd epics-base
make -j2
~/EPICS/bin/linux-arm/softIoc

[!IMPORTANT]
You need to set PYEPICS_LIBCA to load the correct libca.so on rpi
Refer to: pyepics issue 238

cat >> ~/.bashrc << 'EOF'

export EPICS_BASE=$HOME/EPICS/epics-base
export EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linu-arm
export PYEPICS_LIBCA=$HOME/EPICS/epics-base/lib/linux-arm/libca.so

pythonsoftioc on raspi

# because it will install 7.0.7.99.0.2 which will not work with latest softioc
uv pip install epicscorelibs==7.0.7.99.1.1
uv pip install softioc

Then try with this test.

pcaspy on raspi

sudo apt install -y swig

mkdir ~/EPICS/support
cd ~/EPICS/support
wget https://github.com/epics-modules/pcas/archive/refs/tags/v4.13.3.tar.gz
mv v4.13.3.tar.gz pcas-4.13.13.tar.gz

source ~/.bashrc

uv pip install pcaspy

If encountered with: ImportError: libca.so.4.14.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, Check version first:

caget -V

ldd ~/.virtualenvs/opi/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pcaspy/_cas.cpython-311-armhf-linux-gnu.so

If epics version not matched with pcas build, then use ln -s to make softlinks for shared libs.

cd $EPICS_BASE/lib/linux-arm/
ln -s libca.so.4.14.4 libca.so.4.14.3
ln -s libCom.so.3.23.1 libCom.so.3.23.0
