Update from SparkFun regarding Rpi5 order


 

开云体育


I just received an update from SparkFun regarding my three month delayed Rpi5 Essential kit order.? The prospect of them taking another MONTH is rather surprising to me and in some respects, I might just keep my order with them to see if they ever follow through.? At the same time, I see that Parallax just received a shipment of 500 Rpi5 8GB models though I don't know if those are just the bare boards or some level of a kit.

I ordered?a RPi 5 8G from PiShop last week with a charger and case. it was delivered within 4 days from Deleware?to California

I''ve got RPi O/S 64 bit loaded and working.

Now can someone guide me to a resource for loading SDR++ ?

how about other Ham Software for RPi?

Tnx es 73

Terry here is a rough project to load up some ham apps?


 
Edited

Good afternoon Terry. Try here and pick?

That package will install on RPI5 Raspian but will not run.
The raspios_bullseye package will not install
JTDX and WSJTX can be installed (on Bookworm / X11 desktop) with sudo apt install.
FLDigi / FLRig and MSHV can be built from source.

That may be the issue with WSJTX... PiOS bookworm on the Pi5 no longer uses X11. It installs Wayland/Wayfire/WayVNC for the desktop instead.? Before you try and install them, you need to go to? sudo raspi-config, then to Advanced options. Select Wayland, then select X11

Meanwhile, DigiKey shows 697 Pi5 8GB in stock right now ...

That indeed is the issue. Just did that on mine, did sudo apt install WSJTX -y and it installs and runs as it should

Hi Edd. Ive downloaded the SDRpp*.deb file but i'm a newby to LINUX so I don't know where to go from here. is there a command for the command line interface that will install from that?

Here's my layout.

Pi 5 8gb w/ 64 bit RPi o/s & bookworm .

tnx Terry KGoDU


 

Good evening Terry.
As I said in my updated post, the sdrpp_debian_bookworm_amd64.deb will install but will not run on RPi5 / BookwormOS / X11 desktop.
The sdrpp_raspios_bullseye.deb package will not install.
The install command is :
sudo apt install xxxxx.

To remove / uninstall :
sudo apt remove xxxx

So we must wait for an installable version for the RPi5 / Bookworm OS or you can build from src (source code) which is also available on the site - but that is a much more involved process.

I saw a YouTube video on doing an install from *.tar.z. all went well until the "git" command.? The Rpi O/S didn't support it.

Like I said, I'm new to Linux.? Your first response made virtually zero sense to me.
Your elaboration helped a lot.

I'm an old dog with bits of education in Fortran, Basic, Unix, and C. I have a hobbiests interest in computers but my career was built around highway and bridge construction.? I spent significant time analyzing data on the National Bridge Inventory using Structured Query Language.? I'm not ashamed to point out my limits to speed my education, so I thank you for?your help.

I'm happy to report my Raspberry Pi 5 8GB kit (Rpi board, case w/ fan, and power brick) showed up today so that goes to prove that Sparkfun *is* shipping stuff.

Hi David,

I'm glad to see SparkFun is shipping 8gb Pi-5's.

I am very curious to know when you placed your order and, if you ordered a kit, which kit you ordered.

Best regards,

John,? WoGN

Hello John,

I ordered the Rpi5 "essential" kit ( ) on November 9th.? That's basically three months later which is NOT great.? I chose this kit as I have all the other required SD cards, cables, etc but I really need the very special Rpi power brick (5.1v @ 5A [very unusual]).? It's worth nothing that I wanted a case but also bought the better performing aluminum heatsink+fan ( ) as well as the RTC battery ( ).

Very strange indeed.? I pre-ordered a different kit (KIT-23617) as a guest and my order was acknowledged 9-29-2023 at 6:01:59 PM.? It was my understanding at the time that the Pi-5 was the only item that could cause a delay.

The only items not included in the kit you received that are listed in KIT-23617 are the SD card, the SparkFun wedge, and the HDMI cable.

I sent another Email to SparkFun last week, but it has so far been unacknowledged.

Best regards, John WoGN??

Hello John,

When I sent an email to support@... on Friday 1/26, I receive an almost immediate automated response.? I then received a human response on Tuesday 1/30.?
If you didn't get one of those automated responses, maybe your original email didn't make it.? I would try emailing them again and make sure you give your order number.
