CCU/HomeMatic service changes:

• updated OCCU version to 3.63.9-1 integrating full compatibility to the CCU3 3.63.9 firmware which comes with the following changes:
  • Updated the RPI-RF-MOD co-processor firmware to version 4.4.22 which should fix an issue where rf communication with certain HomeMatic/BidCos-RF devices were not working reliable (https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=71025).
  • The ELV-SH-WUA device was not correctly recognized in the WebUI.
  • The device config pages for the HmIP-FALMOT was not correctly shown.
• added a new /bin/checkCoProcessor.sh check script and put it to the global monitrc to be executed regularly for performing regular rf-module/co-processor connectivity checks. In case of identifying a failed rf-module connection a WebUI alarm message will now be raised (https://homematic-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=73697).
• added a new experimental /usr/bin/checkPortForwarding.sh check script which can be used to try to identify any security critical port forwarding being enabled in the internet router where RaspberryMatic is being connected to.
• updated Mediola NEO SERVER to latest 2.9.0 package version.

WebUI changes:

• added new 0168-WebUI-Fix-HmipChannelDialogsInclude WebUI bugfix patch which adds a missing source include statement which fixes a WebUI crash bug in the new BOILER_TRANSMITTER functionality of 3.63.8. This should make the device config settings page for the HmIP-FALMOT-C12 accessible again.
• added a package patch 0001-default-identity-encoding.patch to the tcl package to make the "identity" character encoding the default+system encoding like it had been with tclsh 8.2 and which seem to have caused the umlaut character encoding issues recently seen. In addition, adapted tclrega and tclrpc accordingly so that they only actively perform character conversion in case no "identity" encoding is used. Furthermore, removed the explicit "convertto" char conversion calls in jsonrpc.tcl so fix similar issues. This altogether fixes the char encoding issues seen in the WebUI and external CCU addons like hm_pdetect, etc. (Umlaute werden nicht korrekt angezeigt #1782).
• added a tcl package patch which will make sure that the tcl_precision will be set to 12 as a default value like this was the case with the older tcl 8.2 version. This should fix recently appearing floating point arithmetic issues which resulted in incorrect valve position calculations in the WebUI (HmIP-eTRV-2 + 3.63.8.20220330 -> Heizkörper bleibt kalt #1784).
• disabled the forced restart of HMIPServer upon changing the log level. Now a user has to perform a manual reboot or restart of HMIPServer in case he wants to have the log level changes to be applied (Keine Kommunikation mit HM-IP nach Umstellung des Loglevels #1742).

Operating system changes:

• updated all rpi and tinkerboard kernel defconfigs to not use CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG anymore because we are now exclusively using the newer init_on_alloc/init_on_free instead of slub debug. Also added the missing CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS config option to the tinkerboard defconfig to fix various "relocation 28 out of range" errors after the 5.15.x kernel update (Tinkerboard S : Fehlermeldungen beim Bootvorgang bezüglich ZRAM Swap #1435).
• synchronized all used kernel options throughout our supported platforms.
• updated buildroot to latest 2022.02.1 version.
• added CONFIG_AUDIT to all kernel defconfigs to enable kernel auditing support so that the kernels spits out audit messages in case invalid syscalls are being processed.
• updated wiringpi-odroid package to latest version available.
• added direct USB storage quirks for the RaspberryPi target so that some USB<>SSD connectors will start to work out-of-the-box (Blacklist für problematische UAS-fähige SATA-Controller mittels Parameter in der /boot/cmdline.txt (Pi4B) #1727, Add USB storage quirks for Raspberry Pi by default (#1743) home-assistant/operating-system#1864).
• bumped all Linux kernel versions for all our supported platforms from 5.10.x to 5.15.x and used the stable 1.20220331 (5.15.32) version for the RaspberryPi platform and the upstream 5.15.53 LTS version for the other platforms.

Trying to upgrade my CCU3. Unfortunately this does not seem to be possible as it says: 1.8 GB need to be free. I looked around the device using the ssh login, but did not find anything big I could remove ...

Any hints ?

Any hints ?

When you were switching over from the original CCU3 firmware to RaspberryMatic you were probably accidently skipping step 9 (Notwendigen System-Reset durchführen) of the official CCU3 installation documentation:

https://github.com/jens-maus/RaspberryMatic/wiki/Installation-CCU3

So what you would need to do now is:

1. Create a fresh backup (*.sbk)
2. Perform a factory reset
3. Restore the backup

Afterwards the whole space of the standard SD card of a CCU3 will be available and thus an update should be possible again.

Great! Now I have 5.6 GB free and the upgrade worked perfectly! Thank you!
