On installing this node, node-red just crashes on startup with the message Illegal Instruction.

if i delete this node node-red starts as normal. i think zero is arm6. Is this node for armv7?

I've installed from pallette manager as well as from command line in ~/.node-red$ npm install node-red-node-xyz and the same problem

That's weird. How did you install Node.js? Can you try upgrading Node.js?

Also, can you check if the examples in https://github.com/thethingsnetwork/node-app-sdk do work? Let's see if we can isolate this issue from Node-RED, which is harder to debug.

$sudo apt-get install nodejs

Following the instructions here: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/applications/nodejs/quick-start.html

i get:
pi@zeropi:~/app $ node .
Illegal instruction

based on suggestions, i installed from https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.11.1/node-v9.11.1-linux-armv6l.tar.xz installed to /opt and changed the symlink form /usr/bin to v9.11 and ttn seems to work without any problem!!
pi@zeropi:~/.node-red $ node -v
v9.11.1
then i ran npm install from ~/.node-red
then the same problem of illegal instruction.
sorry for wasting your time..but strange that only ttn used to crash node-red and nothing else

That is weird indeed. Can you confirm that the Node version that Node-RED reports is now v9.11.1?

I deleted :~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-ttn and all the reference to ttn in package.json as well as in the package-lock.json. restarted node-red, and installed from pallette...node-red dies with illegal instruction!! Looks like i won't be able to use ttn in node-red on the pi zero...and by the way, another lora related node called lora-packet-decoder works ok.
and node-red reports v9.11.1

After a little more effort, there is some problem with ttn-app. See the following:

pi@zeropi:~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-ttn/ttn-app $ node ttn-app.js
Illegal instruction

But if i run node with other nodes, no such error message..

pi@zeropi:~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-ttn $ ls

If i delete ttn-app.js, node-red works without any trouble. Not sure what could be the reason:

It seems that the node in ttn-event and ttn-app are instantiated differently; the former one has a more graceful early exit, which may not crash Node-RED but still does not work.

The error Illegal instruction doesn't give any pointers, so best is to isolate the issue.

Can you try with the node-app-sdk examples, regardless of Node-RED?

Thanks. Can you git clone https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/node-app-sdk.git and follow instructions on https://github.com/thethingsnetwork/node-app-sdk?

Specifically the sections Test, Quality, Build and Example.

It might be that the Build step produces different output for your processor architecture, so building it on your Pi Zero may make it work in the Example.

I am new to this nodejs environment and toolchain. so i might have missed some step. anyhow make test gives the following illegal instruction

So looks like i'm stuck.

In addition to this, i've unrelated problem in TTN http integration, i've forwrded all the payload to google firebase via its REST API (starting from here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/database/ enabling anonymous access using POST method. i've tried both https as well as http). requests are delayed by upto 4-5 hours! i raised a question on ttn forums but there was no response...not sure what is the right place to go..

Thanks. It may be a platform issue indeed with one of the dependencies, making the Pi Zero an unsupported platform for this library.

Can you verify and run the examples (so not dist)? See https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/node-app-sdk/tree/master/examples

It seems some dependencies were outdated. I upgraded them, see the feature/update-deps branch (https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/node-app-sdk/tree/feature/update-deps)

Can you check again? Best is to remove the node_modules and try install everything with yarn.

Finally, please let me know your node -v output.

i will try again after a month or so. i'm a bit busy with my "real life" maybe i will try with some swap memory on the pi zero which only has like 512mb ram. to save sdcard corruption i turned off swap. if i use node directly with any of the .js it gives me some import error

@johanstokking : Did you ever reach a conclusion with this issue? Unsupported platform armV6l? I have put mosquitto and Node-Red on a Pi Zero W which already runs a TTN packet forwarder (Rak radio) for a student needs to do some LoRaWAN project work. Everything is stable until I use the palette manager to install this node. Node-red crashes and node hogs almost all cpu and memory. Has this been a recurring issue? Will this ever work on Pi Zero W? Thanks GryKyo

@GryKyo I'm quite sure the issue is related to the compilation of a gRPC dependency. Can you try running npm install -g ttn from command line and copy the output?

I thought I would share this as the exact same thing just happened with me on booth Raspberry Pi Zero W and Raspberry Pi 3 B+
if of any help, see my pots on Node-Red Forum: https://discourse.nodered.org/t/code-killed-status-4-ill/9627?u=ruifcsilva

Yes, I can also confirm this on RPi0W, RPi3B+, and RPi1B+ happing.
Any news on this?

I can confirm as well, as soon as I install node-red-contrib-ttn on the raspberry pi zero w either from the palette manager or via npm i from the console, node-red just doesn't want to start. I have to remove it with
rm -rf node_modules/node-red-contrib-ttn sudo service nodered restart
and it comes back alive.

I managed to knock out Node-Red on a PiZero based TTN gateway once again by installing this, so yes I can confirm that this is still an issue.

I think I have found the culprit... https://github.com/grpc/grpc
Specifically this issue
grpc/grpc#13258
mapbox/node-pre-gyp#348
Going to try and do a workaround

dusnoki commented Jun 10, 2019

I found a workaround,
Install the package from either the palete manager in node red, or through npm i,
cd ~/.node-red
npm rebuild --build-from-source=grpc
!Warning, it will take a long time, don't know exactly how long cause I just left the terminal open.
and then do:
sudo service nodered restart

And you should be all set to go.

RPi support is now deprecated. We'll add guides for V3 to work with builtin Node-RED nodes (i.e. the MQTT input and output nodes)
