Re: V4 64bit firmware


 

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):

      • Set hostname: raspberrypi.local

      • Set username and password:

        • Username: K5ATG

        • Password: this-space-for-rent

      • Configure wireless LAN

        • SSID: NetZero 56K

        • Password: this-space-is-also-for-rent

        • Wireless LAN Country: US

      • Set locale settings:

        • Time zone: America/Tulsa Time

        • Keyboard: US

    • 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.?
