In this blog post, we’ll demonstrate how to build GridDB for 64-bit ARM and run it on a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 running Ubuntu Server 18.04. In many use cases, it makes sense to store time series data in a NoSQL database at the edge of an IoT solution. Low-cost, low-power ARM devices are an excellent method of achieving this.<\/p>\n

First, why Ubuntu Server 18.04? Well, Ubuntu Server 18.04 is the only Linux distribution for Pi 3 or Pi 4 that was 64-bit and had GCC 4.8 packages, two things GridDB needs. It can be downloaded from here<\/a> and installed easily with Raspberry Pi Imager<\/a> as a custom image. <\/p>\n

Build the Server on Raspberry Pi<\/h2>\n

Next, with Ubuntu 18.04 installed and running on your Pi, we can install the build dependencies:<\/p>\n

\n
$ apt-get -y install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 build-essential git tcl tk ant libz-dev autoconf automake<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
There are fixes for ARM not in the main GridDB git repository that are in the griddbnet\/griddb_arm fork.<\/p>\n
\n
$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/griddbnet\/griddb_arm.git<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now, we can build the server:<\/p>\n
\n
$ cd griddb_arm\n $ .\/bootstrap.sh\n $ CC=gcc-4.8 CXX=g++-4.8 .\/configure\n $ make<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Start GridDB, Build and Run the Java Sample<\/h2>\n
With the build complete, we simply follow the README<\/a> to start GridDB and run the Java sample.<\/p>\n
Configure the server:<\/p>\n
\n
$ export GS_HOME=$PWD\n $ export GS_LOG=$PWD\/log\n $ export PATH=${PATH}:$GS_HOME\/bin<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\n
$ bin\/gs_passwd admin -p admin\n $ sed  sed -i -e s\/\"\"\/\"defaultCluster\"\/ conf\/gs_cluster.json <\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Start the server:<\/p>\n
\n
$ bin\/gs_startnode\n $ bin\/gs_joincluster -c defaultCluster -u admin\/your_password<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Build and run the sample program:<\/p>\n
\n
$ export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:$GS_HOME\/bin\/gridstore.jar\n $ mkdir gsSample\n $ cp $GS_HOME\/docs\/sample\/program\/Sample1.java gsSample\/.\n $ javac gsSample\/Sample1.java\n $ java gsSample\/Sample1 239.0.0.1 31999 defaultCluster admin admin\n  --> Person:  name=name02 status=false count=2 lob=[65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74]<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Build the C Client<\/h2>\n
Like the server, the C client requires a few small fixes to run on ARM and we build and install it using the instructions in the README<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n
$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/griddbnet\/c_client_arm.git\n $ cd client\/c\n $ .\/bootstrap.sh\n $ .\/configure\n $ make\n $ sudo make install<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
With that complete, you have GridDB running on your ARM-based Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. It’s also easy to build Python<\/a>, NodeJS<\/a> or other GridDB clients following the instructions to further enhance your experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
