Re: My Raspberry Pi 3B+ - Will Not Boot
Hi
No nothing changed on my Power Supply this is the newer model PS which is about 3 months old. I could try my original PS that came with the original shipment even though that did give the insufficient voltage on screen message sometime ago but always booted.
I also use external battery packs that won¡¯t boot it either. I have swapped out the cables!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio] My Raspberry Pi 3B+ - Will Not Boot
[You don't often get email from hamradio@.... Learn why this is important at .]
Hi this Pi no longer will Boot from any SD card for any Pi OS distribution.
Reformatting the SD cards has no effect and writing the OS fails to read much less boot it.
The Red LED is lit for power indication but the Green never lights.
There are no accessories installed on the PI.
I¡¯ve tried the boot loader nothing helps.
Is there a secret back door to get into the EPROM or something? Maybe accessing it from Windows 10?
Looks like this is now a paperweight ??
Thanks for Helping!

Re: My Raspberry Pi 3B+ - Will Not Boot
Hello Bill,
Hi this Pi no longer will Boot from any SD card for any Pi OS distribution.
Reformatting the SD cards has no effect and writing the OS fails to read much less boot it.
Let's start with basics:
? 1. Is this an existing SD card or new SD card?? If it's an
existing SD card, please note that depending how you were using it,
they can and WILL go bad.? I would recommend to try a NEW brand-name
SD card like a real Sandisk card from a known trustable source.
? 2. What tool are you using to write the SD card?? It's possible to
create non-bootable SD cards.
? 3. Are you sure you have a very solid 5.1 volts into the Raspberry
Pi.? Check the voltage on the correct GPIO pins using a volt meter
The Red LED is lit for power indication but the Green never lights.
On the HDMI display, what do you see?? Do you see the Raspberry Pi
rainbow color display??
There are no accessories installed on the PI.
I¡¯ve tried the boot loader nothing helps.
Are you thinking of the Raspberry Pi 4 boot loader?? If so, that
won't work as the Raspberry Pi 3B+ hardware doesn't use it.
Is there a secret back door to get into the EPROM or something? Maybe accessing it from Windows 10?
As mentioned above, there isn't any boot eeprom on 3B+ units and
there aren't any published diagnostic documents of how you might
troubleshoot the hardware per se.? There are a TON of Internet
search hits on "Raspberry Pi 3B+ won't boot" that you can follow up
with.? Some might be helpful but most will say the same things I
just said above.
Looks like this is now a paperweight
All hardware does fail in time.? Maybe ESD got it.. maybe a power
surge got it.. maybe it's just it's time but it's most likely a
failed SD card or power supply.

Re: TNC-96K PITNCParamsApr18.zip
Hello Chris,
The TNCPi 9k6 hardware a little bit of a fringe area here on this
Raspberry Pi list but I do know that John Wiseman G8BPQ who
maintains the 9k6 firmware and some of these utilities *is* a
member of this list.? Maybe he will chime in.? Anyway, here are my
thoughts:
?? - Have you viewed the TNC Pi (k6 resources here???
?? I don't see any
email support lists there other than the very obsolete Yahoo one.?
I don't know if there is a newer replacement email list
?? - I see you're trying to compile the TNCPi I2C tools.? Is there
a reason why you are compiling vs. using pre-built binaries??
Where did you download the sources from?? The true home to these
tools is here:?
?? - What version did you download??
?? - In
, there are pre-built versions that should work for your Raspberry
Pi
Anyway, I was able to reproduce your error and it seems that in
each of the .c files, there is the following line that is
commented out for some reason:
?? //#include <sys/ioctl.h>
?? //#include <linux/i2c-dev.h>
Remove the "//" in the front of that line in each file.? Next, it
seems that it's now required to ADD the following include line say
after the i2c-dev.h line:
?? #include <i2c/smbus.h>
Next, make sure you have the required I2C libraries and tools
installed:
?? sudo apt install libi2c-dev libi2c0 i2c-tools
Now doing all that, it should build but on my Linux machine, I'm
still seeing "i2c_smbus_write_byte" compile errors.? If you search
around on the internet with the term:
?? linux undefined reference to "i2c_smbus_write_byte"
there are lots of hits but few conclusive answers.

Appalachian Trail Golden Packet event - July 16
The Appalachian Trail Golden Packet event? is an annual tradition started by WB4APR in 2009.? The goal is to set up 15 temporary VHF/UHF APRS stations on mountain tops, along the Appalachian Trail, and send messages end to end between Georgia and Maine.? This year it is on July 16.
?
Traditionally, this has been performed with APRS capable Kenwood radios as the digipeaters.? This year, some stations will try using Raspberry Pi based digipeaters at both 1200 and 9600 bps.

Good morning, Chuck!!
And thank you Nigel for your suggestion of the outboard SSD instead of the MicroSD card.
I do appreciate your replying to my ?message. ?Under normal circumstances, your suggestion for a larger monitor would be quite valid. ?However, my wife (Rita, and KD6BNV) and I are retired, and we live full-time in our big RV where space is somewhat limited. ?I have a 51¡± flat-screen TV that I¡¯ve tried, but that¡¯s the other end of being extreme, and the resolution is a bit poor. ?Besides, it¡¯s clear across the room (maybe 10 feet away), and the whole idea of a larger monitor gets degraded by distance and resolution. ?My little 9 incher can easily be brought right up next to my nose, but that¡¯s a bit awkward at times as well. ?I¡¯ve right-clicked on the task bar, and clicked on ¡°Panel Settings¡± and ¡°Panel Appearance¡± making adjustments there, and that¡¯s helped quite a bit. ?I¡¯ve also clicked on the raspberry logo in the top-left corner of the startup menu, gone from there to ¡°Preferences¡±, and then to ¡°Raspberry Pi Configuration.¡± ?From there I¡¯ve looked at ¡°Display¡± and changed the ¡°Headless Resolution¡± to 1920x1080. ?That¡¯s helped too. ?Maybe those are the only settings that can be made, and if so, a bigger monitor may be my only ¡°resolution.¡± (pun). ?I was just hoping that maybe a setting in /bin/?/?/???? in the boot-up syntax might make a larger configuration change, and settings I¡¯ve enumerated above might be backed off a bit.
It might also be worth mentioning that I¡¯m using a fresh MicroSD card with Bullseye for the OS. ?I understand that this is a relatively new distro, and one that many may not be that familiar with. ?I know I¡¯m certainly not. ?I was directed to use this with a very handy program called ¡°HamClock.¡± ?What a wonderful and informative piece of software!! ?I would recommend this to everyone in a ham radio environment as the amount of information it presents is phenomenal. ?I¡¯ve taken to leaving it on all the time I¡¯m using my station.
I think at this point if I¡¯m unable to glean any further information here in this regard, I may take a chance and contact the HamClock author and see if he has any suggestions. ?I would think that if he¡¯s clever enough to author such a detailed program, he might also know how to make the changes I seek.
Thank you both again for your efforts, and I¡¯d be happy to detail any further information here as my quest continues.

Some monitors lie about their size to Linux. I got a 10" touchscreen that, for some reason, Linux thinks is a 27" monitor and sizes everything accordingly. Unless you have a specific reason to use the 9 inch monitor, I'd suggest something bigger. Most of my monitors are in the 19-22 inch range and come from Goodwill for $12-15 and generally work great on my RPis.
I'd try a larger monitor, if you can. If you are determined to use the 9" monitor, search for monitor size settings. Depending on the applications there are various ways to tell Linux what size your monitor is.

Ernie:?
I really like my RPi 400; Very clever package. I seriously suggest getting a bigger monitor. I am a careful shopper and I found a 19 inch HDMI monitor on EBay for about $50 (with free shipping). ?Our vision doesn¡¯t get any better with age! If you enjoy messing with RPis, it is worth it.?

Good afternoon, everyone!! Please let this Email message
introduce me to you.? I'm Ernie Rader, W5NH, and I'm using a
Raspberry Pi 400 that I've had for several months.? Within the
last few days, I've installed Bullseye and HamClock on a 32 GB
MicroSD card, and everything's working just fine.? What a
great program!! My question may seem a bit
elementary to some, but I'm using a 9" HDMI monitor, and the
GUI interface, the mouse cursor, the terminal window, and
pop-up menus are so small that many times I have to use a
magnifying glass to see them.? Where are the adjustments to
make changes so these displays are readable?? I've been able
to increase the size of the terminal window with about 25
itterations of Ctrl-Shift-+, which will fill the screen
eventually, but I was hoping that this setting (each time the
window is opened), along with the others mentioned above,
could be set once and for all. If anyone can point me in the
right direction for this configuration, I would certainly
appreciate your council. 73, Ernie, W5NH
