Pros and cons of 64 bit build?

Michael Starling
 

What might we expect the pros and cons of a working 64 bit build to be?

Faster? Smaller?

Faster, bigger?

More efficient memory use?

Would appreciate comments of those that might know!

Thanks for the response, Bryan.

Re: Bullseye Troubles? #bullseye #ft991 #vnc

 

32-bit.? I tried 64-bit before BaP v3 came out and really had a mess.? Things may have settled with Bullseye 64-bit by now.

Re: sound settings in raspberry pi 4 and in wsjt-x #wsjt-x #flrig

 

Hi Doug,
I have a G90 that works well with WSJTX. Unfortunately, my connection does not include a digirig or the Xiegu C19, so these settings may not work for you. I run a line from the ACC jack that splits in two and goes directly into an inexpensive usb sound card connected to the PI. I primarily use Pat winlink, JS8call and WSJT-X and don't make any changes in between.? My settings on the G90 are:
Mic gain 10
input line
AGC off
aux in 8
aux out 15
The Pi pulse audio volume control is set to 56% on my soundcard input and 51% on output.
?
Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Re: Bullseye Troubles? #bullseye #ft991 #vnc

 

I was having trouble with not being able to access VNC and the system seemed to have frozen several times over the first week or so of install. A restart would fix it. But I came here to let you know that I have applied all available updates and have not had any problems with the system or any applications that I use for at least the past 5 days now. That said, I only use Conky, JS8Call, WSJTx Flrig and Patwinlink. Most of my SDR stuff is on my Windows machine with a different radio. I am on 32bit Bullseye.

Hi Dan

I don't think I can help, but a question, is this on a 32bit or 64bit system?

I'm becoming convinced that Bullseye, components, and applications are not sufficiently stable for the appliance-like functionality that I'm seeking.? Not being new to Linux (25 years) or RPi "appliances", I'm really getting frustrated trying to get a basic set of BaP functions all configured and running stable.? Past experience suggests this isn't a hardware issue.? Even doing (semi-) regular SD card copies for system snapshots, I've had to start from scratch a couple times.? The SDR setup went kaput yesterday right after I started seeing "updates available" although I didn't install anything.? At this point, I'm going to have to turn off all updates and maybe even disconnect the network altogether.

Anyone else seeing similar?

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed

 

I'll just toss my "Installed everything with no problem" in there as well.

I don't have a radio currently to hook up to, but will be trying them with wfview on a remote station as I was using the previous 32 bit build that way. No hiccups during install at all.


Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed

 

I was able to install the entire BAP package. Now to start actually trying out some of the programs...

Nice job...

Re: BAP where is the hamclock folder?

I hope "large" does not mean full screen.? I want it just big enough to read the text but not full screen.? Thanks for the information!

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed

 

Installed everything last night and the install went smoothy.

WSJTX installed and works. No problems

Re: Problems with Winlink Gateway #packet #rpi #bullseye

 

As requested.? At the end of the crontab -l listing, I also added the list of PIDs using ps -A.

Thanks for your help.

Mike is correct. Each kit ships with ~68 feet of wire allowing the operator to tune it for their favorite portion of the band.

Re: Build a Pi 64 bit Beta Testers Needed

 

Are you concerned about VNC Viewer installing correctly, or VNC SERVER?
VNC Viewer

Great work! The specific items of interest for testing were installed. Working great as far as I can tell.
ONE MINOR item noted, FLRIG startup shortcut installed? in?menu://applications/Hamradio and not in??menu://applications/Hamradio/FLSUITE.
Will?install more apps and test as time becomes available.
Thanks for the report. I'll look into the FLRIG shortcut.

Installed everything today. Install went smoothly. WSJTX and CQRLOG were not installed. I installed CQRLOG 64 bit from the repository and it ran fine. WSJTX 2.5.4 from Source Forge will not install. The older 2.3 64 bit installed fine. More testing tomorrow.
Thanks for the reminder on CQRLOG. Can you try installing WSJTX again using BAP update tool? It installed fine here yesterday.

BAP where is the hamclock folder?

 

I wanted to change the size of the hamclock window bu could not find ESPHamClock in my home directory.? Where is it?? I tried using the "find" command but couldn't find the folder.?


Re: BAP on Intel Linux?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Yeah, I kinda was hoping that EVERYTHING in BAP was compiled at build time for the architecture it is running on, but Jason (KM4ACK) confirmed what you said and your testing revealed ¨C it¡¯s a no-go.

?

Oh well.

?

It was an interesting idea. The laptop would make a nice control surface for a headless RPi running BAP, so there is that.

?

Thanks,

BAP is a compilation of? programs and? scripts for the ARM-cpu you can get some them through the Synapic repositories bi the BAP will not work x86 processors sorry.

Bill,N3VMT

ps I tried to us the BAP on a few Linux builds
