Success, my crippled FrankenPi was able to upgrade, I'm thinking the eth0 port must have taken one lightening strike too many at some point so I'll order another.
I persevered and forced it to upgrade during which it locked up once or twice but I've finally got a working 1.2 OP Pi. I re-installed a lower version of hostapd. I didn't want to risk crashing what I've got thus far so I'll apt-mark hold it for now. At best this has been a great salon experiment to tie everything together so I now know what I really need, how to do it and how I want to do it next time. There's still some goofy networking issues but my half bricked FrankenPi will suffice for now or make for a nice spare.
Thanks to some trial and error and lots of wisdom from these boards I've got it working and my NMEA devices tied into a PyPilot (Factory Pi 0w PyPilot straight from Oriental
), which is linked to my OpenPlotter FrankenPi. I'm able to connect any device I want to the system and I've got all the data everywhere and full control of the PyPilot. I love the units Sean built and the support he's given was well worth the purchase.
Next is a rudder feedback system and a few more nmea toys. It's an oldschool boat with hydraulic steering with a small DC motor belt driving a small hyd motor/pump tee'd into the lines, vintage '70's stuff but it still works great and it's simple to replace any part of it fairly cheap. Time will tell, what's there is 50+ years old and still works.
Thank you all for your contributions, I truly love the opensource community and the accomplishments that become possible when people help one another.
Thank you gentlemen
