How to compile node-hid for Tessel 2

compile-node-hid-for-t2.MD

• run git clone https://github.com/tessel/t2-compiler.git
• run cd t2-compiler
• have docker and docker-machine up and running (sorry I am not sure sure about this)
• run docker-machine start default
• run docker-machine env default
• run the eval command that spits out (likely eval $(docker-machine env default))
• run docker run -it --entrypoint bash tessel/t2-compiler
• Now you're inside the t2-compiler VM
• you should be in ~/ your home directory but just in case, run cd ~
• if you want, you can copy and run the file compile-node-hid.sh from this gist, or follow the below instructions:
  • run git clone https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid
  • run apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
  • run cd ~/node-hid
  • run git submodule update --init
  • run npm install
  • run ./node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp rebuild --target_platform=linux --target_arch=mipsel --target=4.4.3
• Either way, once you're done validate that ~/node-hid/build/HID/v0.5.1/Release/node-v46-linux-mipsel/HID.node exists!

compile-node-hid.sh

# clone the node-hid repository
# we can't use `npm pack node-hid@latest` because right now the latest, 0.5.1,
#   depends on a version of node-pre-gyp that doesn't support
#   compiling to 4.4.3 which tessel 2 runs
git clone https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid && cd node-hid

# we need to have libusb installed to compile node-hid
apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

# we have to make sure the hidapi submodule is installed
git submodule update --init

# we install node-hid's dependencies
npm install

# this will build to ~/node-hid/build/HID/v0.5.1/Release/node-v46-linux-mipsel/HID.node
./node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp rebuild --target_platform=linux --target_arch=mipsel --target=4.4.3

I move Release folder and used

var HID = require("./Release/HID.node");

'/tmp/remote-script/Release/HID.node' is not an ELF executable for MIPS
module.js:434

What am I missing

TIA
