Re: Raspberry Pi 4 and Hamvoip
They do have a bootloader image on the pi downloads page that you burn to an SD, power it on and then wait for the green light to start flashing (instructions with the download) and that upgrades the bootloader.? What NVMe SSD are you using?? Any errors about power?
Get
Thank you for the reply. I am using a USB 3.0 M.2 NVME adapter. It plugs into the USB port on the Pi4. It will not boot. It see's the USB drive but, will not start the boot process. I can take a screen shot later and post the errors
I am getting. I have the Pi4 set to USB boot first, and flash card second (no flash card installed). Still nothing. Do I have to flash the EEPROM to get this to work? Thanks.

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 and Hamvoip
Thank you for the link. Am I supposed to do this (EEPROM Flash) with a DIFFERENT OS and THEN use the Hamvoip image after?

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 and Hamvoip
Plain Jane Linux (Debian, Ubuntu) OS's will boot on the Pi4 (MMC boots just fine). If I use the SAME adapter on my Pi5 with ANYTHING other than my Hamvoip image, it will boot just fine. I think it has something to do with the way Hamvoip loads the bootstrap. Unknown.

Here are the steps you need to take to boot from a USB SSD on a pi4

Re: Raspberry Pi 4 and Hamvoip
Have you successfully booted from the M.2 board with any other OS ?

Re: RPi Kernel Panic on Bookworm
Hey Mike,
This is good to hear that some of the issues are being worked out
though most Raspberry Pi users will still have to wait since
Raspberry Pi OS is still on 6.6.47.? Curious, would you only see
this bug when using ax25d or would you see it under other
situations?
Btw.. for reporting various AX.25 kernel related bugs, consider
joining linux-hams@...

Hey all. ?Sorry to bump an old thread, but I may have made

For a refresher, the issue was a persistent kernel crash on a
Raspberry Pi running Bookworm and RMS Gateway. ?Myself and at
least one other individual were having this issue. ?In my case
the kernel would blame what ever AX25 app was performing an
operation at the time, but I traced the source of the fault back

I had given up on troubleshooting this problem; instead just
resetting my Pi once or twice a week when it would crash.
?However, I when I was looking for known AX25 issues this week,
I bumped into this CVE from July:

The description neatly fit my panic, so I dusted off the test
environment I built (2 RPis with cross connected sound cards)
and set about reproducing the crash. ?In the test environment,
I'm able to consistently get crashes every 1 - 2 hours, so I was
quickly able to validate the problem was still present.
?According to the CVE, custom kernel versions less than 6.6.35
are impacted, so I upgraded the test environment kernel image to
6.6.51.

After upgrading the test environment, I've been running for a
full day without a crash. ?I'll probably give it another day
before upgrading my actual packet station, but thought I would
share in case other folks have the same issue.

Re: Cant get full screen hamclock on 7 inch touchscreen
Hi,
?
I am also very much interested how can it be done! I have a 10" HDMI display with 1024x600 resolution, connected to my Pi 4. For the life of me, I cannot make HAMclock to fit on it :-(.
My Raspberyy Pi 4 desktop just displays fine on it, but Hamclock starts every time in giant size...

Re: Recommendations for a distro for low power operation with WSJT-X

I am interested in putting WSJT-X on an RaspberryPi4 that I have sitting around.? I would like to use it for portable operation with a QRPLabs QMX+.? (Lovely little rig, btw).

Rig has internal sound card and works great with my old Win10 PC, but this thing is really built for portable operations, so I want to have something light.

If there is a distro that is minimalistic, that would probably be best.? I expect that different distros will have bloatware that is not needed.? I would like easy control of what gets run.? I would also like to be able to add some sort of logger that I could backup ADI files to a USB drive when I am done with a session for safe keeping.? I can pick up the wsjt-x log for FT8 contacts, but this rig also does CW and in the near future SSB, so if there is a simple linux based logger, that would a nice feature.?

Re: Recommendations for a distro for low power operation with WSJT-X
use Pi OS Lite - Legacy, and then install your required programs.
the third option down the page.

Re: Recommendations for a distro for low power operation with WSJT-X
Hi Mark
?
I have used a pi 4, with a number of the pi OS versions on wsjt-x.
?
I have a 7" touch screen that connects directly to the pi. I mounted the pi with display on a angled board on a larger board. I got a small keyboard and mouse that rest on the larger board. I can power this with a LiPo battery pack that last a long time.
?
I have a ham buddy here that uses his phone as a hot spot. He runs the pi headless and connects to it with a tablet. He also uses a lipo battery pack.
?
You do need to learn the tricks for moving the pop up windows around when using small screens.
?
Hope this helps

Just to check, are you running 2 usb cables from your Pi, one to the SCU-17 for audio, and the second to the FT-891 for CAT control ?

Technically yes, provided your remote control software runs under Linux.
