Rafael's 64-bit image

Rafael,
I'm getting an error on boot. Can not load overlay i2s-nmap. This is from your image.
A search turns up nothing. What's missing?

Hi Hank,

Can you be a bit more specific? There is no i2s-nmap, but i2s-mmap.

Failed to load overlay i2s-mmap appears just as the desktop starts up.
Sorry about the wrong file name, I had to look closely :)
Sbitx does seem to run. I was able to decode FT8 no problem.
The desktop shortcut does not directly open sbitx. It asks to execute etc first.

Hi Hank,

I'm not sure what it could be. Are you using the sBitx with a Pi 4?

It is "normal" if Farhan's sbitx does not open first tap, as there are some permission / udev issues which will be solved when we run everything as root (gpiolib needs root anyway, so the path is really to run the software as superuser).

Btw, when doing a git pull in the image I did, please use (inside /home/pi/sbitx):
git pull --rebase

I had to rebase my fork, which contains the same code of upstream's Farhan sbitx, but with fixed build system[1].

The intention is to have open on first tap so that the touchscreen is easier to use.

Hi Dave,

I disabled double click in the image. I'm talking about gpio permission errors from wiringpi, that sometimes happen.

Thank you for the clarification.

I agree the wiringpi permission thing sometimes happens.

I had it one time and could not figure it out, but then it just went away.

I hope it stays away!

udev is a bit of a problem setting permissions in runtime. Anyway, no point of running anything as normal user, and running as root just make this issue a non-issue.
