Mspang: add disclaimer to script

The amount of funding we get is determined by MathSoc policy 4 (see http://www.mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca/pinkbook.php). In particular, the maximum amount of funding is proportional to the number of full members we have.

1.k).vi.iv. A recognized Club may apply to the Society for funding by submitting a budget proposal to the Vice-President, Finances within the first three weeks of the term
for which they are seeking funding.

==Recruitment and election funding==
1.k).vi.v At the beginning of each term, a recognized Club is entitled to the following, over and above their budget proposal:
1.k).vi.v.i. a fifty dollar ($50) budget for recruiting activities and
1.k).vi.v.ii. a twenty dollar ($20) budget for elections
Only expenditures deemed reasonable for their respective purposes, in the estimation of the Vice President, Finances, may be applied to the respective amounts.

In Winter 2008, we ran our first recruitment drive. We gave out 4 free pops to people who registered for the current term. In order to keep track of who was entitled to pops, we gave people red tickets (stored in the desk in the CSC).

We've noticed that people on co-op terms tend not to pay for membership during their co-op term. A suggestion is to allow people to sign-up for 2 terms at a price of $3.

==Membership list==
1.k).vi.vi. A recognized Club must present to the Society a list of its members before or with its proposed budget. An acceptable membership list will consist of the names of
members as well as at least one corresponding University issued unique identifier, including but not limited to UWDir ID, or Student Identification number. An
electronic copy of this list must be submitted to the Director of Internal Affairs.

In order to generate this memberlist, 'ceo memberlist' can be used. The following script estimates the number of full members.

Note: This script is flawed, and the number it gives you is not even in the right ballpark. You have been warned!

#!/bin/bash
REGEX="(mat/|vpa/se|computer science|math)"
BADUSERS="(dtbartle|dlgawley|cpdohert|mbiggs|tmyklebu)"

echo -n 'Members with Math/CS as their program: '
ceo memberlist | egrep -i "$REGEX" | egrep -v $BADUSERS | wc -l

==The Budget==
1.k).vi.vii. The Society will allocate funds to the Clubs on the basis of the submitted budget proposal, in accordance with, but not necessarily limited to, the following
considerations:
1.k).vi.vii.i. A Club may not receive in funding from the Society an amount greater than that determined by the following formula:
[(Student Fee) – (Dedicated Revenues) + (Club Fee)] X (Club Membership)
Where “Student Fee” refers to the present fee collected by the Society on the University tuition fee bill, and where “Dedicated Revenues” refers to portions of
the ‘Student Fee” that are dedicated to specific funds or external organizations, including but not limited to mathNEWS and the Capital Improvements Fund, and
where “Club Fee” refers to the fee levied by the Club in accordance with this Policy, possibly zero, and where “Club Membership” refers to the number of Full Members
of the Club, as indicated by the most recently received list submitted by the Club and verified by the Director or Internal Affairs.
1.k).vi.vii.ii. The appropriateness of any given budget item in light of the stated purpose of the Club and the financial state of the Society.

It is worth noting that MathSoc essentially matches our membership fee. When submitting budgets, we are required to include membership revenues. Currently, as per the above formula, MathSoc will give us about $11.50 per member. In the past, MathSoc has had very few complaints about the appropriateness of our budgets. We typically ask for:
* Hardware; in the past, we've asked for up to $1500 worth of hardware and have had it approved.
* Office supplies; usually $100 or so.
* Food for talks and events: usually $200 or so.
* Advertising for talks and events: usually $200 or so.

==Submitting expense forms==
1.k).vi.viii. Clubs shall receive their funding following an activity upon submitting an Expense Reimbursement Form to the Vice-President, Finances. The Vice-President, Finances
may dispense funds prior to an activity, but the Club must submit an Expense Reimbursement Form afterward in order to reconcile the difference.
1.k).vi.viii.i. The Vice President, Finances may withhold reimbursements to a Club deemed to be delinquent in its duties as prescribed by this Policy as advised by the Director
of Internal Affairs. If this becomes the case, the Vice President, Finances will give written notice to the executive of the Club, detailing the rationale for
withholding reimbursement and what steps must be taken in order to fulfill the duties of the Club.

It is the treasurer's responsibility to submit expense forms to MathSoc, and to ensure that MathSoc issues the CSClub cheques accordingly.

ARM

2012-10-27T10:13:09Z

Mspang:

== Prerequisites ==

* Email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca asking to be added to the board group.
* An ARM compiler and build environment. If you do your development on corn-syrup this is already set up for you.
* Basic working knowledge of [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU screen].

== Hardware ==

* The TS-7800 is connected by serial port to corn-syrup. We have ported U-Boot to the board and installed it to the onboard flash memory. U-Boot is used to load a compiled program from our TFTP server over the network. We have also wired the board so that it resets when COM3 is opened; this is used to reset the board when a user program crashes it.

== Development Environment ==

Every CSC machine has a utility called "become_board" installed that is used to connect to the board's console. You must use this program to interact with the board.

The board also sometimes runs a linux environment ([http://goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca]). It is okay to reset the board while linux is running; don't worry about shutting it down safely.

== Rules & Regulations ==

* Only the systems committee touches the board hardware. You can power cycle the board without touching it. If there is a problem, email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
* Share the board. If other people are connected, keep your sessions short and reset the board when you've finished testing.

== Compiling and Running Your First Program ==

We have modified the busy-wait I/O library used by CS 452 to work with the TS-7800. The following steps explain how to compile and run the test application on the TS-7800. These steps should be completed on corn-syrup.

* Clone the test git repository from [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=arm/ts7800-bwio.git csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git]:

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git
cd ts7800-bwio

* Build the test application:

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

* Create yourself a directory on our TFTP server (caffeine):

ssh caffeine mkdir -p /srv/tftp/ARM/$USER

* Copy the test application (bin/iotest) to your directory on the TFTP server.

scp bin/iotest caffeine:/srv/tftp/ARM/$USER/

* Run become_board to attach to the TS-7800 screen session.

become_board goto80

* Reboot the board from the radreboot window. Press C-a 1 (control-A, then 1) to switch windows, then press enter to reboot.

* Execute your test program on the board. Press C-a 0 (control-A, then 0) to switch windows. Replace $USER by your user name.

tftp ARM/$USER/iotest
bootelf

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

Hello
***Hello
Hello world.
Well, hello world23.
-23 worlds for 1 person.
ffffffe9 worlds for 723 people.

If you press any key the program will end and return to U-Boot.

== Further Steps ==

* Write some C code. You can start by modifying iotest.c.
* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].
* Port your code to Binaerpilot.

== Binaerpilot ==

We also have a Gumstix Overo Tide machine that is newer and faster than the TS-7800. Access it using

become_board binaerpilot

The base files for this board are available using

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/overo-bwio.git

The documentation for this board is available at http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/docs/.

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board. Press C-a \ (control-A, then backslash) to terminate the screen session. Note that this disconnects everyone and should be used sparingly.

== Documentation ==

* The hardware documentation is available at [http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=ts-7800 embeddedarm.com] and locally at [http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800 csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800].

New CSC Machine

2012-04-21T17:38:49Z

Mspang: /* Configuration */

Draft of how to set up a new CSC machine

= Booting =

* Put the TFTP image in place (if dist-arch pair installed before, you may skip this).
e.g. extract http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz to caffeine:/srv/tftp/oneiric-amd64

* Configure DHCP server; see caffeine:/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. This allow caffeine to identify the host by its MAC address and give it the correct IP and boot image. e.g.
host bit-shifter {
hardware ethernet 6C:F0:49:08:49:48;
fixed-address 129.97.134.111;
next-server 129.97.134.17;
filename "precise-amd64/pxelinux.0";
}

* Force network boot in the BIOS. This may be called "Legacy LAN" or other such cryptic things. If this doesn't work, boot from CD or USB instead.

It is preferred to use the "alternate" Ubuntu installer image, based on debian-installer, instead of the Ubiquity installer. This installer supports software RAID and LVM out of the box, and will generally make your life easier. If installing Debian, this is the usual installer, so don't sweat it.

= Installing =

== debian-installer ==

At least in expert mode, you can choose a custom mirror (top of the countries list) and give the path for mirror directly. This will make installation super-fast compared to installing from anywhere else.

Please install to LVM volumes, as this is our standard configuration on all machines where possible. It allows more flexible partitioning across available volumes. Since GRUB 2, even /boot may be on LVM; this is the preferred configuration for simplicity, except when legacy partitioning setups make this inconvenient.

You may enable unattended upgrades, but do not enable Canonical's remote management service or any such nonsense. This is mostly a straightforward Debian/Ubuntu install.

== Ubiquity ==

Ubiquity is the Ubuntu GUI installer. For it to have lvm support, run:
apt-get install lvm2

If you still can't see the partitions (even if lvscan sees them, but no devices exist), run <tt>vgscan</tt> and <tt>vgchange -ay</tt> as root. Now the partitioner should be able to see them. We prefer to use LVM for partitions. Since GRUB 2, even /boot may be on LVM; this is the preferred configuration for simplicity, except when legacy partitioning setups make this inconvenient.

After installing with Ubiquity, you must also add LVM support to the newly installed system, and in particular its initramfs.

mount /dev/vg0/root /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
chroot /mnt
apt-get install lvm2

You should see an update-initramfs update. Reboot.

= After Installing =

== apt ==

If you did not during installation, change all references in <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use <tt>mirror</tt>instead of the usual mirrors.

Also add support for the CSC packages. Add the following to <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/csclub.list</tt> (or copy from another host):

deb http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ <distribution> main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ <distribution> main contrib non-free

You'll also need the CSC archive signing key (if <tt>curl</tt> is not installed, install it).
curl -s http://debian.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/csclub.asc | apt-key add -

You should now run <tt>apt-get update</tt> to reflect these changes.

Next, install <tt>inapt</tt> (it is in the CSC Debian archive). If it hasn't previously been built for the current platform, clone and build it (TODO: describe how to do this).

Clone <tt>~git/public/packages.git</tt>, update it if necessary (notably updating <tt>nodes.ia</tt> to reflect the distribution and role of the machine), then run:
inapt *.ia

(Due to a bug, if a warning is thrown, this will segfault. Until fixed, just temporarily remove whatever packages it complains about from the list.)

Warning: this will take a long time due to the large number of packages being installed. Some of the below can be done once the relevant packages are installed, but while other packages are still being installed.

== Keys ==

If this is a reinstall of an existing host, copy back the SSH host keys and <tt>/etc/krb5.keytab</tt> from its former incarnation. Otherwise, create a new Kerberos principal and copy the keytab over, as follows (run from the host in question):
kadmin -p sysadmin/admin # or any other admin principal; the password for this one is the usual root password
addprinc -randkey host/[hostname].csclub.uwaterloo.ca
ktadd host/[hostname].csclub.uwaterloo.ca

This will generate a new principal (you can skip this step if one already exists) and add it to the local Kerberos keytab.

Also copy <tt>/etc/ssl/certs/GlobalSign_Intermediate_Root.pem</tt> from another host, as many of our services use a certificate issued by this CA.

== Configuration ==

The following config files are needed to work in the CSC environment (examples given below for an office terminal; perhaps refer to another host if preferred).

<tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.

Notably, <tt>allow_weak_crypto</tt> is currently needed to mount <tt>/users</tt> (though oddly, not <tt>/music</tt> or <tt>/scratch</tt>). Otherwise, you will get a mysterious "permission denied" error (even though the server claims to have authenticated the mount successfully).

This file is notably different on syscom-only hosts. Look at an existing syscom-only host to see the difference.

Alter <tt>/etc/default/nfs-common</tt> to enable <tt>statd</tt>, and more importantly <tt>gssd</tt> (needed for Kerberos NFS mounts). Start both daemons manually for now.

Add <tt>/users</tt>, <tt>/music</tt> and <tt>/scratch</tt> to <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> (as appropriate for the machine's role), make their mount points and mount them.

Mspang:

== Prerequisites ==

* Email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca asking to be added to the board group.
* An ARM compiler and build environment. If you do your development on corn-syrup this is already set up for you.
* Basic working knowledge of [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU screen].

== Hardware ==

* The TS-7800 is connected by serial port to corn-syrup. We have ported U-Boot to the board and installed it to the onboard flash memory. U-Boot is used to load a compiled program from our TFTP server over the network. We have also wired the board so that it resets when COM3 is opened; this is used to reset the board when a user program crashes it.

== Development Environment ==

Every CSC machine has a utility called "become_board" installed that is used to connect to the board's console. You must use this program to interact with the board.

The board also sometimes runs a linux environment ([http://goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca]). It is okay to reset the board while linux is running; don't worry about shutting it down safely.

== Rules & Regulations ==

* Only the systems committee touches the board hardware. You can power cycle the board without touching it. If there is a problem, email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
* Share the board. If other people are connected, keep your sessions short and reset the board when you've finished testing.

== Compiling and Running Your First Program ==

We have modified the busy-wait I/O library used by CS 452 to work with the TS-7800. The following steps explain how to compile and run the test application on the TS-7800. These steps should be completed on corn-syrup.

* Clone the test git repository from [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=arm/ts7800-bwio.git csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git]:

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git
cd ts7800-bwio

* Build the test application:

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

* Create yourself a directory on our TFTP server (caffeine):

ssh caffeine mkdir -p /srv/tftp/ARM/$USER

* Copy the test application (bin/iotest) to your directory on the TFTP server.

scp bin/iotest caffeine:/srv/tftp/ARM/$USER/

* Run become_board to attach to the TS-7800 screen session.

become_board goto80

* Reboot the board from the radreboot window. Press C-a 1 (control-A, then 1) to switch windows, then press enter to reboot.

* Execute your test program on the board. Press C-a 0 (control-A, then 0) to switch windows. Replace $USER by your user name.

tftp ARM/$USER/iotest
bootelf

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

Hello
***Hello
Hello world.
Well, hello world23.
-23 worlds for 1 person.
ffffffe9 worlds for 723 people.

If you press any key the program will end and return to U-Boot.

== Further Steps ==

* Write some C code. You can start by modifying iotest.c.
* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].
* Port your code to Binaerpilot.

== Binaerpilot ==

We also have a Gumstix Overo Tide machine that is newer and faster than the TS-7800. Access it using

become_board binaerpilot

The base files for this board are available using

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git

The documentation for this board is available at http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/docs/.

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board. Press C-a \ (control-A, then backslash) to terminate the screen session. Note that this disconnects everyone and should be used sparingly.

== Documentation ==

* The hardware documentation is available at [http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=ts-7800 embeddedarm.com] and locally at [http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800 csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800].

Every CSC machine has a utility called "become_board" installed that is used to connect to the board's console. You must use this program to interact with the board.

The board also sometimes runs a linux environment ([http://goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca]). It is okay to reset the board while linux is running; don't worry about shutting it down safely.

== Rules & Regulations ==

* Only the systems committee touches the board hardware. You can power cycle the board without touching it. If there is a problem, email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
* Share the board. If other people are connected, keep your sessions short and reset the board when you've finished testing.

== Compiling and Running Your First Program ==

We have modified the busy-wait I/O library used by CS 452 to work with the TS-7800. The following steps explain how to compile and run the test application on the TS-7800. These steps should be completed on corn-syrup.

* Clone the test git repository from [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=arm/ts7800-bwio.git csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git]:

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git
cd ts7800-bwio

* Build the test application:

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

* Create yourself a directory on our TFTP server (caffeine):

ssh caffeine mkdir -p /srv/tftp/ARM/$USER

* Copy the test application (bin/iotest) to your directory on the TFTP server.

scp bin/iotest caffeine:/srv/tftp/ARM/$USER/

* Run become_board to attach to the TS-7800 screen session.

become_board goto80

* Reboot the board from the radreboot window. Press C-a 1 (control-A, then 1) to switch windows, then press enter to reboot.

* Execute your test program on the board. Press C-a 0 (control-A, then 0) to switch windows. Replace $USER by your user name.

tftp ARM/$USER/iotest
bootelf

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

Hello
***Hello
Hello world.
Well, hello world23.
-23 worlds for 1 person.
ffffffe9 worlds for 723 people.

If you press any key the program will end and return to U-Boot.

== Further Steps ==

* Write some C code. You can start by modifying iotest.c.
* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board. Press C-a \ (control-A, then backslash) to terminate the screen session. Note that this disconnects everyone and should be used sparingly.

Serial Connections

2011-07-19T22:23:03Z

Mspang:

This article documents the physical serial ports on each machine and the connections between them. These connections are used for console access using [[Conserver]].

==== MC 3015 ====

corn-syrup ttyS1 LOM <- corn-syrup-ipmi - 57600
mirror ttyS1 LOM <- sodium-benzoate-ipmi - 57600
taurine ttyS1 LOM <- taurine-ilo - 115200
glomag ttyS0 LOM <- glomag-ipmi - 115200
denardo ttyS0 LOM <- denardo-alom - 9600
ascorbic-acid ttyS0 LOM <- sodium-benzoate ttyS0 9600
goto80 ttyS0 <- corn-syrup hub1 115200
goto80 ttyS1 <- corn-syrup hub2 115200
goto80 power <- corn-syrup hub3 115200
potassium-citrate ttyS0 <- corn-syrup hub4 9600
kvm - <- corn-syrup hub5 115200
electrons - <- corn-syrup hub8 9600

The "hubN" ports are on the 8-port serial hub. To access, look in /dev/csc.

== Machine Ports ==

Most machines either have no serial ports, or one [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_DE-9|DE-9]] serial port. Details of other configurations are listed here. We do not have any modems (DCE), so all connections should be crossed (i.e., use null modem cables or compatible).

==== taurine ====

taurine has a virtual serial port that can be accessed via telnet or SSH

ttyS0 physical DE-9
ttyS1 virtual

==== ascorbic-acid ====

ascorbic-acid has two [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_8P8C_.28Sun.29|Sun 8P8C]] serial ports stacked vertically, with the first port on top. The first port may be used to access LOM, and probably has to be set to 9600 baud.

A (ttyS0, LOM)
B (ttyS1)

These ports should be connected to another system's DE-9 using a DE-9<->8P8C modular adapter and an [[Serial_Pin-outs#Almost_Rollover_Cable|Almost Rollover]] or standard rollover.

==== potassium-citrate ====

potassium-citrate has two DE-9 serial ports side by side, with the second port on the left

101102 (ttyS1) 101101 (ttyS0)

==== citric-acid ====

citric-acid has two DE-9 serial ports stacked vertically, with the second port on the bottom, and a dead DE-9 labeled "modem" to its right. The first port must be run at 9600 baud to access the embedded remote console.

ttyS0
ttyS1 modem

==== sodium-citrate ====

sodium-citrate has two DE-9 serial ports side by side, with the second port on the left

ttyS1 ttyS0

==== caramel-colour ====

caramel-colour has two DE-9 serial ports

ttyS0 on motherboard I/O shield
ttyS1 on motherboard in a PCI header

==== phosphoric-acid ====

phosphoric-acid has two DE-9 serial ports

ttyS0 on motherboard I/O shield
ttyS1 on motherboard in a PCI header

==== dumbterm ====

dumbterm has one DB-25 serial port. It is currently connected to a black [[Serial_Pin-outs#Grey_DB-25_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard DB-25<->8P8C adapter]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Dumbterm_Cable|special twisted pair cable]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Black_DE-9_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard 8P8C<->DE-9 adapter]]. All of these pieces are labeled "dumbterm". The dumbterm cable is not symmetric; the end labeled "DE-9" must be plugged into the DE-9 adapter.

Club Hosting

2011-07-12T23:08:56Z

Mspang:

The Computer Science Club provides web hosting to other clubs free of charge. We host many club web sites and mailing lists. If you have a question about our hosting service, contact systems-committee@csclub.uwaterloo.ca or visit our office in MC 3036.

=== Hosting Features ===

* 4 GB web space
* Scripting
** PHP (mod_fcgid)
** Perl (mod_fcgid)
** Python (mod_fcgid)
** Ruby (mod_fcgid)
* Databases
** [[MySQL]]

This is not an exhaustive list. Contact us if you want something not listed or installed.

=== Getting Hosted ===

To get hosted, you need:

# a club account
# one user account for each person who will be updating the club's web site or other files

==== Club Account ====

Each club we host has a "club account" that owns and stores club resources. You can request a club account via email or in person. The club account:

* Is named after the club, possibly abbreviated.
* Has a home directory named /users/clubname, where club files are stored.
* Is not permitted to login. You must use your own user account to login.

Anyone with office staff or greater privileges may create club accounts using [[ceo]].

==== User Accounts ====

Each user who needs access to the club account must have his/her own user account on our machines. There are two ways to get an account:

* Become a member of the Computer Science Club. Membership is $2.00 per term.
* Request a free "club representative" account. These accounts are to be used solely for managing the club account, and expire at the end of the term.

In both cases, you must come to MC 3036 in person for initial registration. Club representatives can request renewal of their free accounts if they still need the account in future terms. Renewal can be done in person or via email.

Your user account must also be authorized to change club files. Each club has a "club group" whose members may update the clubs files. We add users to the group upon request, or when we're setting up the club account.

Anyone with office staff or greater privileges may create both of the above types of accounts using [[ceo]]. Currently, only systems committee may add users to club groups.

=== Accessing Club Resources ===

==== Shell Access ====

At this point, you have a user account and a club account, and need to get started with your web site. Before you can do anything, you need to log into our machines somehow. You can:

* Log in using a terminal in the office
* Log in from anywhere using SSH. Our web server (caffeine) is available at csclub.uwaterloo.ca.

The club's files are stored in /users/clubname.

If you want, you can become the club user by typing "become_club clubname". This is not usually necessary, as the permissions usually allow you to make changes as yourself.

==== SFTP File Access ====

You may access files stored on our servers, or upload new ones, via SFTP and SCP. If you are a Windows user you should use [http://winscp.net/ WinSCP] or a similar client with SFTP/SCP abilities. If you are using OS X you can use the sftp or scp Terminal commands, or you can install a graphical client such as [http://cyberduck.ch/ Cyberduck]. Similarly on GNU/Linux you can use the shell commands or a graphical client such as gftp.

=== Services ===

==== Web Hosting ====

The /users/clubname/www directory is accessible via the web at http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~clubname. This is set up by default and requires no special configuration.

If you want a domain of the form clubname.uwaterloo.ca, you can request this via email. You can also use your own domain (e.g. club.org), if you purchase it yourself.

==== Databases ====

MySQL databases are available.

You can create a MySQL database yourself through [[ceo]] by following [[MySQL#Using_ceo|these instructions]].

==== Mailing Lists ====

We can set up [http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html GNU Mailman] for you upon request.

This article documents the physical serial ports on each machine and the connections between them. These connections are used for console access using [[Conserver]].

==== MC 3015 ====

corn-syrup ttyS1 LOM <- corn-syrup-ipmi - 57600
mirror ttyS1 LOM <- sodium-benzoate-ipmi - 57600
taurine ttyS1 LOM <- taurine-ilo - 115200

electrons - <- corn-syrup ttyS0 9600

== Machine Ports ==

Most machines either have no serial ports, or one [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_DE-9|DE-9]] serial port. Details of other configurations are listed here. We do not have any modems (DCE), so all connections should be crossed (i.e., use null modem cables or compatible).

==== taurine ====

taurine has a virtual serial port that can be accessed via telnet or SSH

ttyS0 physical DE-9
ttyS1 virtual

==== ascorbic-acid ====

ascorbic-acid has two [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_8P8C_.28Sun.29|Sun 8P8C]] serial ports stacked vertically, with the first port on top. The first port may be used to access LOM, and probably has to be set to 9600 baud.

A (ttyS0, LOM)
B (ttyS1)

These ports should be connected to another system's DE-9 using a DE-9<->8P8C modular adapter and an [[Serial_Pin-outs#Almost_Rollover_Cable|Almost Rollover]] or standard rollover.

==== potassium-citrate ====

potassium-citrate has two DE-9 serial ports side by side, with the second port on the left

101102 (ttyS1) 101101 (ttyS0)

==== citric-acid ====

citric-acid has two DE-9 serial ports stacked vertically, with the second port on the bottom, and a dead DE-9 labeled "modem" to its right. The first port must be run at 9600 baud to access the embedded remote console.

==== dumbterm ====

dumbterm has one DB-25 serial port. It is currently connected to a black [[Serial_Pin-outs#Grey_DB-25_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard DB-25<->8P8C adapter]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Dumbterm_Cable|special twisted pair cable]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Black_DE-9_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard 8P8C<->DE-9 adapter]]. All of these pieces are labeled "dumbterm". The dumbterm cable is not symmetric; the end labeled "DE-9" must be plugged into the DE-9 adapter.

== Machine Ports ==

Most machines either have no serial ports, or one [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_DE-9|DE-9]] serial port. Details of other configurations are listed here. We do not have any modems (DCE), so all connections should be crossed (i.e., use null modem cables or compatible).

==== taurine ====

taurine has a virtual serial port that can be accessed via telnet or SSH

ttyS0 physical DE-9
ttyS1 virtual

==== ascorbic-acid ====

ascorbic-acid has two [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_8P8C_.28Sun.29|Sun 8P8C]] serial ports stacked vertically, with the first port on top. The first port may be used to access LOM, and probably has to be set to 9600 baud.

A (ttyS0, LOM)
B (ttyS1)

These ports should be connected to another system's DE-9 using a DE-9<->8P8C modular adapter and an [[Serial_Pin-outs#Almost_Rollover_Cable|Almost Rollover]] or standard rollover.

==== potassium-citrate ====

potassium-citrate has two DE-9 serial ports side by side, with the second port on the left

101102 (ttyS1) 101101 (ttyS0)

==== citric-acid ====

citric-acid has two DE-9 serial ports stacked vertically, with the second port on the bottom, and a dead DE-9 labeled "modem" to its right. The first port must be run at 9600 baud to access the embedded remote console.

ttyS0
ttyS1 modem

==== sodium-citrate ====

sodium-citrate has two DE-9 serial ports side by side, with the second port on the left

ttyS1 ttyS0

==== caramel-colour ====

caramel-colour has two DE-9 serial ports

ttyS0 on motherboard I/O shield
ttyS1 on motherboard in a PCI header

==== phosphoric-acid ====

phosphoric-acid has two DE-9 serial ports

ttyS0 on motherboard I/O shield
ttyS1 on motherboard in a PCI header

==== dumbterm ====

dumbterm has one DB-25 serial port. It is currently connected to a black [[Serial_Pin-outs#Grey_DB-25_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard DB-25<->8P8C adapter]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Dumbterm_Cable|special twisted pair cable]], to a [[Serial_Pin-outs#Black_DE-9_Female_to_8P8C_Adapter|nonstandard 8P8C<->DE-9 adapter]]. All of these pieces are labeled "dumbterm". The dumbterm cable is not symmetric; the end labeled "DE-9" must be plugged into the DE-9 adapter.

== Machine Ports ==

Most machines either have no serial ports, or one [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_DE-9|DE-9]] serial port. Details of other configurations are listed here. We do not have any modems (DCE), so all connections should be crossed (i.e., use null modem cables or compatible).

==== taurine ====

taurine has a virtual serial port that can be accessed via telnet or SSH

ttyS0 physical DE-9
ttyS1 virtual

==== ascorbic-acid ====

ascorbic-acid has two [[Serial_Pin-outs#RS-232_over_8P8C_.28Sun.29|Sun 8P8C]] serial ports stacked vertically, with the first port on top. The first port may be used to access LOM, and probably has to be set to 9600 baud.

A (ttyS0, LOM)
B (ttyS1)

These ports should be connected to another system's DE-9 using a DE-9<->8P8C modular adapter and an [[Serial_Pin-outs#Almost_Rollover_Cable|Almost Rollover]] or standard rollover.

ARM

2011-03-14T05:56:07Z

Mspang:

== Prerequisites ==

* Email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca asking to be added to the board group.
* An ARM compiler and build environment. If you do your development on corn-syrup this is already set up for you.
* Basic working knowledge of [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU screen].

== Hardware ==

The TS-7800 is connected by serial port to strombola, one of the office machines. We have ported U-Boot to the board and installed it to the onboard flash memory. U-Boot is used to load a compiled program from our TFTP server over the network. We have also wired the board so that it resets when COM3 is opened; this is used to reset the board when a user program crashes it.

== Development Environment ==

Every CSC machine has a utility called "become_board" installed that is used to connect to the board's console. You must use this program to interact with the board.

The board also sometimes runs a linux environment ([http://goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca]). It is okay to reset the board while linux is running; don't worry about shutting it down safely.

== Rules & Regulations ==

* Only the systems committee touches the board hardware. You can power cycle the board without touching it. If there is a problem, email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
* Share the board. If other people are connected, keep your sessions short and reset the board when you've finished testing.

== Compiling and Running Your First Program ==

We have modified the busy-wait I/O library used by CS 452 to work with the TS-7800. The following steps explain how to compile and run the test application on the TS-7800. These steps should be completed on corn-syrup.

* Clone the test git repository from [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=arm/ts7800-bwio.git csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git]:

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git
cd ts7800-bwio

* Build the test application:

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

* Create yourself a directory on our TFTP server (caffeine):

ssh caffeine mkdir -p /srv/tftp/ARM/$USER

* Copy the test application (bin/iotest) to your directory on the TFTP server.

scp bin/iotest caffeine:/srv/tftp/ARM/$USER/

* Run become_board to attach to the TS-7800 screen session.

become_board

* Reboot the board from the radreboot window. Press C-a 1 (control-A, then 1) to switch windows, then press enter to reboot.

* Execute your test program on the board. Press C-a 0 (control-A, then 0) to switch windows. Replace $USER by your user name.

tftp ARM/$USER/iotest
bootelf

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

Hello
***Hello
Hello world.
Well, hello world23.
-23 worlds for 1 person.
ffffffe9 worlds for 723 people.

If you press any key the board will reboot.

== Further Steps ==

* Write some C code. You can start by modifying iotest.c.
* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board. Press C-a \ (control-A, then backslash) to terminate the screen session. Note that this disconnects everyone and should be used sparingly.

== Documentation ==

* The hardware documentation is available at [http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=ts-7800 embeddedarm.com] and locally at [http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800 csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~board/ts7800].

* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board. Press C-a \ (control-A, then backslash) to terminate the screen session. Note that this disconnects everyone and should be used sparingly.

Mspang:

== Prerequisites ==

* Email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca asking to be added to the board group.
* An ARM compiler and build environment. If you do your development on corn-syrup this is already set up for you.
* Basic working knowledge of [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ GNU screen].

== Hardware ==

The TS-7800 is connected by serial port to strombola, one of the office machines. We have ported U-Boot to the board and installed it to the onboard flash memory. U-Boot is used to load a compiled program from our TFTP server over the network. We have also wired the board so that it resets when COM3 is opened; this is used to reset the board when a user program crashes it.

== Development Environment ==

Every CSC machine has a utility called "become_board" installed that is used to connect to the board's console. You must use this program to interact with the board.

The board also sometimes runs a linux environment (goto80.csclub.uwaterloo.ca). It is okay to reset the board while linux is running; don't worry about shutting it down safely.

== Rules & Regulations ==

* Only the systems committee touches the board. You can power cycle the board without touching it. If there is a problem, email syscom@csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
* Try not to reset the board while another user is running their program.

== Compiling and Running Your First Program ==

We have modified the busy-wait I/O library used by CS 452 to work with the TS-7800. The following steps explain how to compile and run the test application on the TS-7800. These steps should be completed on corn-syrup.

* Clone the test git repository from [http://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/?p=arm/ts7800-bwio.git csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git]:

git clone csclub.uwaterloo.ca:/srv/git/arm/ts7800-bwio.git
cd ts7800-bwio

* Build the test application:

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

* Create yourself a directory on our TFTP server (caffeine):

ssh caffeine mkdir -p /srv/tftp/ARM/$USER

* Copy the test application (bin/iotest) to your directory on the TFTP server.

scp bin/iotest caffeine:/srv/tftp/ARM/$USER/

* Run become_board to attach to the TS-7800 screen session.

become_board

* Reboot the board from the radreboot window. Press C-a 1 (control-A, then 1) to switch windows, then press enter to reboot.

* Execute your test program on the board. Press C-a 0 (control-A, then 0) to switch windows. Replace $USER by your user name.

tftp ARM/$USER/iotest
bootelf

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

Hello
***Hello
Hello world.
Well, hello world23.
-23 worlds for 1 person.
ffffffe9 worlds for 723 people.

If you press any key the board will reboot.

== Further Steps ==

* Write some C code. You can start by modifying iotest.c.
* Write some ARM assembly. You can start by modifying ts7800.S.
* Work through the CS 452 kernel assignments (skip the train parts). These are available on [http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~wmcowan/teaching/cs452/ Bill Cowan's web site].

== Troubleshooting ==

* If the shared screen session is not working properly, such as when an important window is closed, the easiest way to recover is to terminate the screen session entirely and rerun become_board.

SNMP

2011-03-05T21:10:19Z

Mspang:

The Computer Science Club runs Net-SNMP on all of our host machines. This provides real-time data on network, cpu and disk load, as well as memory usage. We also record temperature and fan speed data for capable hosts. On caffeine, we record apache and postfix statistics.

Update: SNMP is annoying and complicated and has been removed almost everywhere. Mirror still runs it however.

Installation of snmpd on our machines is done via puppet.

If you want to enable sensors:
* sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
* sudo sensors-detect
* sudo modprobe the recommended modules and them to /etc/modules as needed; run sensors to verify that correct modules are loaded and working
* sudo invoke-rc.d snmpd restart
