+ | ==== Starting the protherm service at bootstrap ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Raspberry Pi OS based on **Debian 11 Bullseye** uses **systemd** to start services on bootstrap. The **protherm** service requires the **/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | First of all we create an //udev// rule; the rule will force //systemd// to create a " | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | # Inform systemd when the kernel device / | ||
+ | # Systemd will create a systemd device named " | ||
+ | # can be used to trigger the start of a service. | ||
+ | ACTION==" | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | We use three keywords that must matched (because of the **%%==%%** sign) during an udev event. If the event is of type device **add**, the device belongs to the **spidev** subsystem and the kernel device name is **spidev0.0**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Systemd includes the **systemd-udevd.service** which will notice every device tagged witht the string **systemd** and dynamically creates a **device unit**. In this case the unit will be called **dev-spidev0.0.device**. You can ask systemd to list all the existing device units (because of the **%%--all%%** option, also the short name is listed): | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | systemctl list-units --all --type=device | ||
+ | ... | ||
+ | dev-spidev0.0.device | ||
+ | ... | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the systemd device does not exist, it probably means that the udev rule did not worked as expected. Thanks to this systemd device unit, we can write a protherm systemd unit that will start the service only after the device is instantiated by the kernel. The systemd unit will be **/ | ||
