I have gotten LCD4Linux working on ASL 3 & 5 with CPU and Network Graphs.
LCD4Linux Home Page
Notes:
You should put your LCD on COM2. Some versions of ASL seems to have their own uses for COM1.
COM2 is /dev/ttyS1
ASL has it's own /dev/lcd.
I recommend leaving it alone and using
/dev/ttyS1
I compiled from the CVS version of LCD4Linux as the last release is very old and lacking in features I needed.
I have it configured for CrystalFontz 634 v2.0, but you can change the config file for any supported LCD. All the LCD drivers are compiled in.
It will take about 5 secs to startup on the CF634 because I had to add a delay due to a bug in my display version.
Different versions of the 634 use different baud rates. Try 9600 if you have trouble.
1st config file shows:
CPU load in Percent. Upper graph is total, lower half is system.
Eth0 traffic
Eth1 traffic
Eth2 traffic
(Numbers are in kiloBytes)
Wireless config file replaces CPU with WLAN0 traffic.
(I couldn't get the signal quality, etc., working with ASL/HostAP driver, so it just shows traffic.)
Instructions:
Put the files somewhere on your ASL box.
chown root.root lcd4linux*
chmod 755 lcd4linux.conf
chmod 600 lcd4linux.conf # IT WON'T RUN IF YOU DON'T DO THIS
as root, run
./lcd4linux -f lcd4linux.conf
Once you're happy with it, you can add it to startup in somewhere like /etc/init.d/beeps
