Ignition Edge 8.3.4 on ARM64

Ignition

I am currently using a Asus IOT Tinker System 3N, installing and running Ignition Edge 8.1.53 worked fine, on other AARCH64 devices (such as raspberry Pi) Ignition Edge 8.3.4 worked fine. However for 8.3.4 it does not want to start and the wrapper log does not generate anything.

What OS are you running?
What command (or process) are you using to start Ignition?
Was 8.3.4 installed on top of the working 8.1 install (as an upgrade)?

I am running Tinker OS Bookworm with Kernel 6.1 V1.0.4. At one point I had it running but messed up my OS and had to re-start the whole process. As part of a test I went back to 8.1.53. Unfortunately the wrapper log is pretty much empty.

I was able to start the gateway with

/usr/local/ignition$ sudo ./ignition-gateway /usr/local/ignition/data/ignition.conf

but not using ./ignition.sh start (even when made executable)

Can you try running the following command?

uname -s

I'm hopeful it returns Linux but would like to verify.

Any other outcome if you execute the wrapper script elevated: sudo ./ignition.sh start?

That script does suppress many Standard Error outputs...I wish there were an argument to permit verbose / console logging for issues like this.

You could try running bash -x ./ignition.sh start to print each command that is executed before executing them. Hopefully the last several lines that are printed will give you some insight as to where the problem is.

Another (more invasive) option would be temporarily edit that ignition.sh file (take a backup first) and replace all instances of 2>/dev/null with 2>/dev/tty.

Yes it does say Linux, I was able to run it but not from the ignition.sh , i ended up creating a service going straight to ignition-gateway and pointing it to the config file.

Example:

[Unit]
Description=Ignition Gateway
After=network.target
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/ignition
ExecStart=/usr/local/ignition/ignition-gateway /usr/local/ignition/data/ignition.conf
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
