[SOLVED] TypeError: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

Hello,
I am evaluating the use of the GrovePi for a robotics application, but can’t limit myself to the robotics image. I started with a stock, fully updated and upgraded PIXEL image.
I successfully followed the instructions at
https://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/get-started-with-the-grovepi/setting-software/

However, when I run sudo ./all_tests.sh I get an error. The log.txt is pasted below. How do I fix the error?

Hi @mikeseiler,


I think this is related to an issue we have been having for a week or so already.

There’s a temporary issue with the Raspberry Pi's kernel.
We have filed a bug report and we’re waiting for an answer.


In the mean time, we can downgrade to the previous version we have been using so far (which works).
In your Raspberry Pi, please open up a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo rpi-update 52241088c1da59a359110d39c1875cda56496764

I would highly suggest to use copy-paste here, as typos can easily happen with this long command.
This command will downgrade you’re Raspberry Pi's kernel to version 4.4.50 - v7+.

Please, try it out and let us know if it solves your issue.


Thank you!

Awesome. Yes. that fixes it. Case closed.

Now, let me generalize a bit. Does the fact that we are tied to a specific kernel rev mean that the GrovePi is tied to the Raspberry Pi?
Note that there are other SBCs that have the Raspberry Pi GPIO header such as the Odroid C2 or the Intel based UP board. Both will run versions of Ubuntu, which is a different branch of *nix than the Debian Jessie running on the Raspberry Pi.
How difficult might it be to get the GrovePi working on the Odroid C2 or the UP board?

@mikeseiler really glad to hear it works! Phew! Still talking to folks about what changed about the kernel, but hopefully we can keep it a little more updated.

Our software is only really written for the Pi. However, it can be very easily ported to another system like Odroid or even the CHIP (and other languages too). The key is just figuring out the smbus/i2c modules you’re going to use and making sure you have a way to talk to them in python. I think for many of he boards they will port easily if they’re Debian based.
