Re: RFI from raspberry 4B
With the Raspberry Pi 4B? I have always used the official Pi wall wart PS.? It is recommended that 5.1 at 3A be supplied to the Pi4's USB-C port, that supply meets that criteria.? In the past they have been readily available for about $7.99.? I have not had any issues with excessive RFI.? I have seen some 5v and 12v wall warts (switching supplies) that were so noisy that I had to remove them from service and put them in the trash because they even interfered with strong local AM stations.

So obviously it might well be the dongle, I will try to connect it to a laptop to see if the same issue arises. It is at the end of a long USB cable, may the USB cable is acting as an antenna ? My shack is at the top floor of a 4 storey building. I don't have a reliable RF earth up there, if I could earth the SDR dongle, may be it would be easier!!! 73, Yannig - F4IUJ |
Re: BAP on Intel Linux?
Thank you Jasn for the hard work put into the BAP and getting it to work =)?? A lot of your time has been put into this project and you have done well =)?? My hat is off to you for the great job and effort into this project =) I may look into the project ..... I too has been many years from the day of BASIC and MS DOS programming ( yes at the start of the BASIC into the public community =)?? Think I remember you saying it was in C++ language? ....

Re: RFI from raspberry 4B
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWith the power supply attached to the GPIO pins, your RTL SDR dongle is probably always powered on, as confirmed by the RFI being generated if the RPi itself is on or off.can you borrow a different dongle and try it - preferably from a different source/manufacturer? Can you try powering the RPi from a conventional power supply connected to the USB-C connector? Powering the RPi thru the GPIO pins *should* be fine, but who knows?

Pi OS 64bit running on a Pi 4 4GB
A bit more experimenting this morning. My suspicion about VNC was incorrect. I made these changes to the /boot/config.txt file. Uncomment the following lines: framebuffer_width=1920 framebuffer_height=1080 Note: you can change the resolution here to suit your needs. Uncomment this line: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 Comment out these two lines: #dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d #max_framebuffers=2 After a reboot, Conky started on the right hand side and Chromium was no longer sluggish. My new guess is that something with the dtoverlay causes Chromium to be sluggish in a VNC only environment. What I don't know yet is what side effects may exist by commenting out the dtoverlay lines. If I run into any, I'll report them. If you guys run into any, please report. As always, I recommend backing up your pi before making changes....just in case. I made a goof in my initial edits of the config.txt file which left me unable to VNC into the Pi. Had to ssh in to fix. -- 73, de KM4ACK

I tried using firefox-esr over chromium because I don't like anything google and had far more problems.? 30 minutes later I bit my pride, locked down chromiun and put it back into service.

Re: Update Build a Pi.
#bap
I would flash a new card and start over. Your old system is probably running Buster and Bullseye is the latest available. The Pi foundation does not recommend upgrading from Buster to Bullseye as many things changed under the hood that could cause conflicts.

got this figured out... found a substream on here where, when using the update tool just enter "*" in the ip address... i was entering?the ip address for the raspberry pi... but when using the commands in the terminal window, it still wouldnt?work... i have a grid square now... and it's the right one. so i think i am good...? -Jon |
Re: Multiple Apps using Sound Device at the same time
This is possible but an advanced setup. Try pointing one of the applications to the actual sound card and the other to "pulse". Then open pulse controls from the Pi menu and link the second (pulse) card to the actual sound card. I haven't tested this in a while but this should point you in the right direction. A little experimenting may be required to get the results you want.

Dan,
Thanks for the testing and the detailed explanation. I have been extremely frustrated with Chromium since Bullseye came out. I never had this issue in Buster. I suspect it is something in VNC causing the issue and have been hoping a fix would be released. I swapped to firefox as my default browser. It's easy to install: sudo apt install firefox-esr then make it the default browser by running xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox-esr.desktop I also changed some settings (can't remember specifics) in the /boot/config file to get conky to always launch on the right side of the screen. Thanks again for the write up. Always great to see multiple solutions for a problem :-) -- 73, de KM4ACK

Re: BAP on Intel Linux?
IIRC, BAP is on github; it might well be as simple as forking it, and doing a search/replace to change the architecture specified in the scripts.
I might have a look myself when i have a moment. (EDIT) - following up on Julian's observation on his attempt, the scripts seem to be mainly APT based, so it's likely to just be a matter of fine-tuning them rather than needing the fullblown architecture change I'd envisioned. 73 Phil 2E0HGU |
RFI from raspberry 4B
Hello all,
My raspberry Pi is creating so much RFI that I need to switch it off to traffic... That bugs me and I am 90% sure that the culprit is the USB bus. As you all seem to be getting on well with your Pis, I must be doing something wrong... My setup at the moment :
I am stuck, any suggestion to make some progress is welcome... 73 Yannig - F4IUJ |
