I am using BATMAN on a raspberry pi b+ with a kernel version of 4.1.13+ but my problem also occured on an older kernel (I tried updating, which did not help). My BATMAN is on batctl debian-2012.1.0-1 [batman-adv: 2015.0].
please use a recent batctl which matches your version. There are newer debian packages out there, too.
I try to get the vis_mode up and running, which fails in multiple ways, because I can't even create logs.
For vis, please use alfred. Vis is not included in more recent batman-adv versions anymore.
sudo batctl loglevel -> "Error - can't open file '/sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level': No such file or directory"
sudo batctl vm -> "Error - can't open file '/sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level': No such file or directory"
and so on. The thing is, when I try:
sudo batmand s -> "Not using interface s (retrying later): interface not active" whereas if I try:
batmand is not batman-adv. batmand is the original Layer 3 version, while batman-adv is the layer 2 version. batctl only works with batman-adv. I'd suggest to use batman-adv only.
sudo batmand s IP bat0 -> batman cannot be pinged from any other interface any more
did I forget to install something?
I'd suggest to install recent versions of batman-adv and batctl and possibly alfred if you want vis, and deinstall batmand. After that, consider reading our docs again, we have a couple of nice getting started docs. :)
Cheers, Simon
