Cannot seem to successfully install on FPP device

Trying to use this fix with Falcon Pi Player (FPP) for a pixel lightshow controller running bbb black with kulp controller cape and it gets errors below:

Any ideas if I can use this fix as I have to reboot sometimes to get the controller to see the ethernet connection?

Thank you,

John

Try running as root?

What distribution/version of Linux?

[iamwally]

Actually unsure what kernel FPP runs....I will have to find out

[iamwally]

Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

[iamwally]

You know what.....you can probably close this as I think i just copied and pasted the code to install it and when I just ran
sudo ./install it went through without errors...duh!!.... sorry.....is there a way to test that it is working?

[bigjosh]

To check if the reset utility is working, you can enter the line...

/usr/sbin/bbb-long-reset

...and wait for the board to execute a hardware reset (takes about 30 seconds).

To test if the service is running, you can enter...

systemctl status chkphy

To test if everything actually works end to end, well you just have to power on your BBB a few times until you get a time that the Ethernet port comes up dead... and then wait about a minute to make sure it reboots. It will print messages saying that it is rebooting to the console.

[iamwally]

So it seems like the service is running but I can't seem to get the reset to work. Is it because raspbian (bookworm) is using kernel 6.1? Is there any way to make it work?

[bigjosh]

What happens when you try to do the manual reset? Do do you see any error messages?

[iamwally]

This is what I get:
