If you're using the Raspberry Pi OS packages, I recommend you remove them, build up the VE7FET ones, and see if that helps.? I have that all documented here:

Thanks for this; I am using the built in packages. ?Before I try building the VE7FET packages, I'm going to let the system run for a couple of weeks to verify it doesn't crash with /usr/sbin/beacon disabled. ?Once that is confirmed, I give this a go.

Hello Mike,

Do you have a more complete kernel panic screen capture?? I see it's showing "AX.25" but there should be a full screen worth of detail.? Regardless, there are a few known issues with modern Linux kernels and it's AX.25 stack though nothing I'm aware with UI packets sent from tools like beacon.? Which ax25apps / ax25tools are you using??? The ones included from the Raspberry Pi OS repo?? Maybe the VE7FET repo (recommended) or maybe the Official AX.25 repo (somewhat out of date)?

If you're using the Raspberry Pi OS packages, I recommend you remove them, build up the VE7FET ones, and see if that helps.? I have that all documented here:

??

If that doesn't help, I have received a few proposed Ax.25 kernel module changes that are supposed to fix a few of these known connected-mode packet connection issues (decent description is here:?? ) but to use them, it requires recompiling the AX.25 kernel module.? It's not to difficult to do once you have the setup but it has to be redone whenever there is a new kernel released as part of the usual patching process.

Re: RPi Kernel Panic on Bookworm

 

There has been a newer build or two of bookworm since then, and firmware has also been updated.? Run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -a
To bring it all up to the latest version.? Im part of the beta testers for bookworm, and its first release was way too premature, but seems the powers that be ignored the beta testers and their bug reports to surprise users with the new OS, and make sure the pi 5's had an OS that would (somewhat) work.

Re: What compiler for Pi-4b with Wayland 64bit?

 

Hello John,

You can see the details of the OS release with these commands:

cat /etc/debian_version
cat /etc/os-release
uname -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo|less

But I doubt that's an issue.

gcc is the GNU C compiler.
Try "man gcc" for the gcc manual page.

I used the Geekworm P394 9 layer acrylic case that I found when searching on Amazon. I removed an acrylic finger from one of the layers that interfered with one of the support standoffs behind the USB ports for the SSD HAT. The Pineberry Pi HAT fits well over the active RPI cooler. You will need some extra M3 standoffs to put the top plate of the case on.
I don't recall seeing the P573 aluminum case - after looking at the pictures that case is not compatible with the RPI active cooler or the SSD HATs - those cooling pods that stick into the interior of the case are the problem.
I just wanted something to keep the bottom / top of the board protected.
The Geekworm NVME SSD HATs are certainly cheaper than the Pineberry Pi boards.
I have not yet mounted the bottom 80 mm Pinebery Pi HAT to an RPI5.

Has anyone tried using an Aurga Viewer with a headless RPI? It looks like it might be useful when working on a local area network that you don't have full access to, like in a hotel. An example of this would be traveling with an Allstar node.
