Sticky HamPi 3.1.1b2 for Inovato Quadra (November 2022) "Stone Mountain Edition" Released 4
Hi friends, fellow hams, and HamPi / HamPC users! I am pleased to announce that HamPi 3.1.1b2, the comprehensive award-winning ham radio software distribution for the Raspberry Pi Inovato Quadra SBC is now available for public download! There have been over 90,000 downloads of HamPi to date across the world. The reason for porting HamPi to another platform such as the $29 Inovato Quadra is that shipments of Raspberry Pi SBCs to hobbyists have dwindled, and in order to support ham radio operators, I found an alternative platform which would still serve hams' interests with the HamPi software suite of over 150 amateur radio applications. Disclaimer: I have no monetary interest in this platform or company. I have never even communicated with the platform developers, except to order two units for my own use. On March 1 of this year, SourceForge awarded HamPi the Community Choice and SourceForge Favorite awards. To add to that, on August 23 of this year, SourceForge awarded HamPi the prestigious Community Leader award. Direct Download Link: http://hampi.sourceforge.net/ All things HamPi / HamPC related: https://linktr.ee/HAMPIW3DJS If you run into issues, please post to the forum on /g/Ham-Pi/ first. If you see a bug (defect), please report it on the GitHub issues page at: https://github.com/dslotter/HamPi/issues Did you know that HamPi has a wiki? Find it at https://github.com/dslotter/HamPi/wiki CHANGELOG: Version 3.1.1b2 (November 2022) "Stone Mountain Edition" Release ============================== - First release for Inovato Quadra Good luck and 73! -- -- Dave, W3DJS Technical Specialist, GA Section of ARRL -- -- AEC, Georgia/Gwinnett County ARES Lifetime Member: ARRL/QRZ/eHam/GARS/ARC -- -- Curator of HamPi, the ham radio software distribution for the Raspberry Pi --

Confused RE: How to re-image the Quadra 18
Hey Y'all... this might be a stupid question, but I wasn't able to find out the process to do this on the Inovato website or the forum. Hopefully someone can help me. I have a Quadra that I initially set up with the Inovato image and it works dandy. So I downloaded Dave's great HamPi for the Quadra. I unpacked it. I wrote it to an SD card. I unplugged the Quadra, put the SD card in and thought that it would write a new OS image from that card, but all I ever get is the same old Inovato image. What's the secret sauce or handshake on this thing? Thanks ahead of time 73//KK0DJ

Quadra, DRA soundcard, and FLDIGI 6
I have the HamIQ package operating from the uSD card, working fine. But, when I connected a DRA soundcard to the Quadra and started FLDIGI the DRA does not appear in the Soundcard list to choose the input and output. Curious thing, as soon as FLDIGI starts up, the DRA CM119a shows it is communicating with the Quadra, as the Heartbeat green LED starts flashing. I must be missing something here, but as I am not fluent in Linux, I am at a loss what it is. Any ideas? -- VY 73. Wes WB7BR

moving swap to sdcard 4
while I was working on something else it popped into my mind that after things are all setup and running it may be wise to point swap to a sdcard to keep wear off the EMMC I have not seen them hit swap yet, but that doesnt mean they wont could one put /tmp & swap on a sdcard? I see swap is not explicitly mounted in fstab but /tmp is so is swap using /tmp ? could then have /tmp be on /dev/sda just thinking out loud de k9wkj

Password won¡¯t change 3
I did what it said, and it won¡¯t change the password. The instructions are rather ambiguous, it doesn¡¯t say whether to enter the password twice and hit enter or just run it together or whatever can anybody help me? Paul K2DB I went into the terminal mode and did exactly what it said, but no change the password_._,_._,_

Glad to be here 20
Hello to all, I have downloaded the software I am just waiting for the hardware. I really hope that this will all work out ok. I do have a question for anyone that has already tried it all out and that is; is it REALLY slow? My primary rig for use with this is likely to be a QRP Labs QDX. 73, Tryg de EI7CLB --

having USB connection troubles ?
unless you are using a braille display # sudo apt remove brltty it seems to mess with trying to keep USB devices connected also have found the USB ports on the Quadra to be lacking in current handling capacity so advise using a powered hub de k9wkj

Locked HamPi License and Processes 2
Dave, According to your license, do you actually have BOINC configured to run on the Novato Quadra when it is idle? If so, it will probably overheat the Quadra and cause it to crash. Also, what are the "crypto-" processes running under HamPi? 73, Dave K7DCJ 99.939 percentile of all BOINC contributors
