Pi 5 welcome here?

Kenneth R. van Wyk All Messages By This Member #15500 开云体育 Okay, so I know this group focuses on Pi 4, but I’m seeing traffic about Pi 5 availability as well, so I hope it’s okay to assume the 5 is welcome here too? [Moderator: Kill my message if I’m incorrect.] Like many, I’m working on a Pi 5 build. I currently have my 5 (8 Gb) running with the Pimoroni NVMe Base board and a 1 Tb Sabrent Rocket SSD. (RUNS GREAT!) I’m hoping to be able to run VARA HF/FM on it using Box64 + Wine. Ultimately, my aim is to run my alternate NCS for Winlink Wednesdays using my Icom 7100 and a Raspberry Pi rig control computer. I looked at??and was hoping it would be what I needed, but it doesn’t (yet?) support the 5. So, being as patient as a sneeze, I set about to build Box64 and install Wine manually. I’ve been searching for a video and/or HOWTO to guide me a bit, though. Several exist for the 3 and the 4, but I’ve yet to find one for the 5. Any tips, folks? I’m very comfortable on Linux, but a bit of Box64 + Wine voodoo would go a long way. Thanks and 73s, K0RvW. Cheers, Ken van Wyk Armata Scientia signature.asc signature.asc
David Ranch All Messages By This Member #15501 开云体育 From an application perspective, why would it care if it's running on an Rpi5 vs. an Rpi4 (or any other ARM SBC)?? Looking a little further, it seems this script is looking for specific known Raspberry Pi hardware and instead of just trying it's best, if aborts.? There is a modified script in this thread that attempts to fix it.? Maybe give that a try: ?? --David KI6ZHD On 01/28/2024 04:06 AM, Kenneth R. van Wyk wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Okay, so I know this group focuses on Pi 4, but I’m seeing traffic about Pi 5 availability as well, so I hope it’s okay to assume the 5 is welcome here too?

Michael WA7SKG All Messages By This Member #15502 Ken, I think there is a misunderstanding. This group is not specific to the Raspberry Pi-4. The title uses the number "4" instead of the word "for". Kind of like P2P for "Point-to-Point". In my experience with this list, anything concerning any Raspberry Pi and ham radio is welcome. I hope your project goes well. 73, Michael WA7SKG Kenneth R. van Wyk wrote on 1/28/24 4:06 AM: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Okay, so I know this group focuses on Pi 4, but I’m seeing traffic about Pi 5 availability as well, so I hope it’s okay to assume the 5 is welcome here too?

This group is not specific to the Raspberry Pi-4. The title uses the number "4" instead of the word "for". Kind of like P2P for "Point-to-Point”. Thanks for that clarification. Mea culpa. I’d been scouring the interwebz for all things “Pi 5” and when I saw the 4 here, I assumed… Glad to hear it’s more general Pi + radio, though. And thank you David Ranch, for suggesting???? I’ll definitely give that a go. I’d LOVE to be able to get this Pi 5 to the point of being a great control radio for my radios, and that means (for me) VARA HF, VARA FM, and Winlink Express are vital. (I could function without the latter using RadioMail on my iPhone, but the VARA TNCs are critical for me.) I sure wish they’d make a set of VARAs in native Linux, but that doesn’t seem likely, so WINE it is. I made good progress over the weekend with Box64. It is compiled and passed all of its ctests. Haven’t done WINE itself yet, but will give that revised script (above) a go. Meanwhile, I’m thrilled with the Pi 5 with a 1 Tb NVMe boot drive running at PCIe gen3 speed. For a truly lightweight “desktop” class computer, that’s pretty amazing. Oh, and the other advantage of using this for radio operations is that it uses so little power, I can comfortably plug it into the USB-C 30 Watt outlet on my solar batter/charger system. Have a great day. 73 de K0RvW signature.asc signature.asc

FYI, the modified script linked in that thread works mostly. Yes, I had to run an 8 kb page kernel, but that’s quick and easy. But, the script couldn’t find VARA HF or VARA FM to download. I checked at Weak Signals Software and there’s a new version out _TODAY_… Sigh. I’ll download manually and give it a try. I expect the script is downloading a “latest” version that isn’t yet linked on the download site. Either way, it seems to be on the right track. Thanks for the recommendation! Cheers, Ken

Kenneth R. van Wyk All Messages By This Member #15520 开云体育 (Wow, I’m really glad I found this group. Thanks so much for the helpful tips, folks!) Wheezy mostly ran for me, with the mods David Ranch pointed me to. Progress is being made, as shown below. My next step is to connect my Icom IC-7200 to it and start doing some radio tests. But, as I’m new to WINE, I have a couple of questions, please. I plan to run mix-mode Linux and Windows applications. That which is available in Linux, I’ll run natively. That which doesn’t, I’ll WINE them. How does WINE handle USB ports? Do I have to install Silicon Labs CP210x device driver in WINE? Does it unload when I’m not using a windows app? I’m sure I’ll get the native Linux apps running just fine. It’s only the windows ones I’m curious about. Again, much appreciated.
