Topic: Wake On Lan (WOL) binary for Chumby

Hey @all,

does anybody have an precompiled wol tool for chumby ? I wan't to use the chumby to wake up any devices in my home...

I don't have any cross-compiling  experiences so maybe someone could post this binary ?


P.s. is there any kind of repository like for "apt-get" ??

Thanks

You do not need a special tool - you can use the command "nc" to send the packet yourself. The command would look something like this:

nc -u -w 1 host port <magic_packet

You just need to prepare your magic_packet file with a hex-editor.

You'll need to get another version of netcat - the one shipped with Chumby doesn't support udp mode.

It seems that the binary in the following package works on the chumby:

I believe ipkgs are just tarballs.

Yes, it's just packet several times. I opened it with 7zip; the binary is called "netcat-nc".
