Here is a copy and paste of my logbook on what I have done so far:
?
-
Upgrade the operating software for sBITX-V3 / 581EFC18613 From sBITX-3.021 to sBITX-V4
Starting with fresh SanDisk Ultra 128 GB microSDXC UHS-I Card
-
Backup sBITX.db and hw_settings.ini files: Open up the sBITX file system and go to the following file location: /home/pi/sbitx/data and I copied the following files to USB Thumbdrive:
-
create_db.sql
-
default_hw_settings
-
default_settings
-
display_log
-
ft8.mc
-
hw_settings
-
hw_settings_v2
-
hw_settings_v3
-
result_rows
-
sbitx
-
user_settings
?
-
Download the sBITX 64BIT operating software from the following link:
-
Upon going to the above link another page appears with the following message:
Google Drive can¡¯t scan this file for viruses.
Sb64p2.img.xz (2.2G) is too large for Google to scan for viruses. Would you still like to download this file anyway? I clicked yes and downloaded the file to the following location: C:\Users\K5ATG\Downloads
-
Opened up Raspberry Pi Imager v1.8.5 and performed the following actions:
-
Raspberry Pi Device: Raspberry Pi 4
-
Operating System: Use Custom: C:\Users\K5ATG\Downloads and selected the following file: Sb64p2.img.xz
-
Storage: Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device ¨C 127.9 GB Mounted as G:\
-
Clicked: NEXT
-
A window popped up: Would you like to apply OS customization settings? Edit Settings
-
OS Customization Window Appeared the following settings we applied (Under General Tab):
-
Click: SAVE
-
A window popped up: Would you like to apply OS customization settings? YES
-
A window popped up: All existing data on ¡®Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device¡¯ will be erased. Are you sure you want to continue? YES
-
At this time the Raspberry Pi Imager v1.8.5 will start burning the file Sb64p2.img.xz to Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device
I rebooted the sBITX/RPI and this is where my path has taken me so far. In the Ham Radio menu the sBITX and sBITX Apps icons are both blank.? When I click on the sBITX Icon a pop up window appears that says: Invalid desktop entry file. '/usr/share/applications/sBits.desktop'
?
Personal Note:?When I reboot the sBITX/RPI the 64bit sBITX logo appears as the system is starting up. I'm guessing here but I think that I have the 64bit OS installed but not the sBITX software itself.?
