hw_definitions file missing in 3.0.1.2 bookworm ?

Stoeffel

Problem:
EVOK 3.0.6 installed on UniPiOS 12.20251103.1
/etc/evok/hw_definitions/ is empty (except Iris modules)
Missing: 00.yaml, 08.yaml, xG18.yaml, xS11.yaml, xS51.yaml
evok-unipi-data shows status [residual-config]
Hardware: Neuron M203 with extensions xG18, xS11, xS51

What I tried:

apt install evok-unipi-data-full → only installs Iris modules (IM203, IM204, etc.)
apt install evok-unipi-data → after purge/reinstall still empty

Error in EVOK logs:
ERROR:evok:'readboards: Unsupported device model 00! (check HW definitions)'
ERROR:evok:'readboards: Unsupported device model 08! (check HW definitions)'
ERROR:evok:'readboards: Unsupported device model xG18! (check HW definitions)'
ERROR:evok:'readboards: Unsupported device model xS11! (check HW definitions)'
ERROR:evok:'readboards: Unsupported device model xS51! (check HW definitions)'

Are the same like in Evok 2.5. Can i copy them to Evok 3

Kind regards
Stefan

Hello @Stoeffel

this looks like something/someone erased the definitions. They are not reinstalled, as they are in /etc/ and treated as configuration files. You can try running sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall evok-unipi-data and see if it helps. If not a deeper diagnosis will be needed.

It is not possible to copy them from 2.x the system was refactored.

Hello Cleve

Thanks for reply.

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall evok-unipi-data

Did what it was supposed to do.
Thank a lot for your help.
