Tried to run Cumulus on Raspberry Pi

Post by rolly »

Got the error "File does not contain a valid CIL image."
I was running Cumulus 1.9.3 on Mono on the soft floating point variant of Debian for the RPi.

I wonder what it would take to have Cumulus in a form with a valid CIL image?

A headless RPi ($35 cost) with an Internet connection, and a USB to its weather station base would make a great, low power (5V X .7 amp = 3.5 watt?) station, that I would happily leave going 24 X 7.

Cumulus is a native Win32 application, not a .NET application, so it won't work with mono.

I'm working on another version of Cumulus which does work with mono, but it's very much a background activity; developing and supporting the current version of Cumulus occupies most of my time.
