    On this page, we present the installation of Basilisk on a Raspberry Pi 4 computer https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/.

    For the Pi 5, we try..

    For fun, we define the Pi4 as an USB-C gadget. It means that we use the USB-C alimentation as a network interface and run the Pi 4 in a VNC window of our computer…

    … which is a mac. This solves part of the problem of installing Basilisk on a mac…. because we use basilisk on the Pi4!

    It is then possible either:

    • connect to the Pi4 drive (the SD card) with apple talk and exchange files

    • connect to the Pi4 as an USBC network and open remote terminal (unfortunately I did not succeed to open X11 window)

    • connect to the Pi4 with VNC and have a full real Pi4 in a virtual window.

    Compared to 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7 the velocity of a 1/3.6 (a computation of 172 min on a Pi4 1.5 GHz takes 47 Min on 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7 mac and 42 min on a Dell i59500 3GHz).

    Note that a a factor 1/4 is obtained with the http://basilisk.fr/sandbox/Vierron/raspberry-pi/cluster.md

    Installing Basilisk on Raspberry Pi 4

    Start by checking that VLC is installed.

    Installing Basilisk is straight forward, just follow the standard install http://basilisk.fr/src/INSTALL

    sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo apt install darcs flex bison make gawk

darcs clone http://basilisk.fr/basilisk

cd basilisk/
darcs pull
cd src
export BASILISK=$PWD
ln -s config.gcc config
make -k
echo "export BASILISK=$PWD" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:$BASILISK" >> ~/.bashrc
##### verif
sudo apt-get install gnuplot imagemagick
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
sudo apt-get install smpeg-plaympeg graphviz valgrind gifsicle pstoedit --fix-missing
cd $BASILISK/gl
make
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev libglew-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
make libglutils.a libfb_osmesa.a
make libglutils.a libfb_glx.a
### fatal error: GL/osmesa.h: 
cd ../examples/

CFLAGS=-DDISPLAY=-1 make karman.tst 
CFLAGS=-DDISPLAY=-1 make tangaroa.tst

    strange problem fixed

    chmod 777 /home/pi/basilisk/src/ppm2mp4
chmod +x ./basilisk/src/ppm2mpeg

    add the X applications

    Just for fun, for the pleasure of xeyes and xcalc -rpn

    sudo apt-get install xcalc
sudo apt-get install x11-apps

    Install netatalk to afp Mac protocol

    It is usefull to exchange files to have the afp protocol on the raspberry https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-afp/ or https://chicagodist.com/blogs/news/using-netatalk-to-share-files-between-a-raspberry-pi-and-mac

    sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade
reboot
 
sudo apt install netatalk

    you have to edit /etc/netatalk/afp.conf

    sudo nano /etc/netatalk/afp.conf

[Global]
guest account = pi
[Homes]
basedir regex = /home
[My AFP Volume]
path = /home/pi

 CTRL  X , Y , ENTER

    then restart Netatalk

    sudo systemctl restart netatalk

    check IP address

    sudo hostname -I

    connect with afp:// from the mac

    Install pi4 as usb-c gadget

    Final touch: plugging the Pi4 as an “gadget” allows to connect internet via USB cable.

    This is described in https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress/2019/11/02/pi4-usb-c-gadget/ which is the magazine MagPi N°16 p54 (it describes how to connect an iPad and a Pi4)

    Enable ssh in Configuration/ Interfaces

    Add dtoverlay=dwc2 to the /boot/config.txt .

    sudo vi /boot/config.txt

    Add modules-load=dwc2 to the end of /boot/cmdline.txt

    sudo vi /boot/cmdline.txt

    Add libcomposite to /etc/modules

    sudo vi /etc/modules

    Add denyinterfaces usb0 to /etc/dhcpcd.conf

    sudo vi /etc/dhcpcd.conf

    then install

    sudo apt install dnsmasq -y

    Create /etc/dnsmasq.d/usb with in it

    sudo vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/usb

interface=usb0
dhcp-range=10.55.0.2,10.55.0.6,255.255.255.248,1h
dhcp-option=3
leasefile-ro

    Create /root/usb.sh

    sudo vi /root/usb.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget/
mkdir -p pi4
cd pi4

echo 0x0104 > idProduct # Multifunction Composite Gadget

# Add functions here

# End functions
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0

SELF="00:dd:dc:eb:6d:a1" # "BadUSB"
echo $HOST > functions/ecm.usb0/host_addr
echo $SELF > functions/ecm.usb0/dev_addr
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1/
udevadm settle -t 5 || :
ls /sys/class/udc > UDC
ifup usb0
service dnsmasq restart

    make it executable

    sudo chmod +x /root/usb.sh

    update the task manager

    sudo crontab -e

    and add at the end

    @reboot bash /root/usb.sh

    close teh file

    Then turn on VNC on the Pi and download https://www.realvnc.com/fr/connect/download/viewer/macos/

    and shutdown

    sudo shutdown -h now

    You can then plug the USBC power cable of the Pi to your computer. As the IP is fixed 10.55.0.1 you always connect to the Pi4 with this dress trough the OSBC network. With VNC, you have a keyboard, a mouse and a screen.

    “en joie”
