Georgi!
I can't get the touch screen to work, which is necessary to configure the wifi among other things.

Re: R1CBU firmware 0.27.0 WATERFALL station labels
I guess it's possible. Not sure about how to draw it better - device screen not so big.
My concern is about source of frequencies and names. doesn't allow to retrieve a whole list, also it has a limit of requests.
Perhaps, using information from will be enough.

Re: Root access after firmware update.
Use Windows partition manager and assign a letter to DATA partition of the SD card (last partition). You should see `params.db` in the root of this partition in the Explorer.
Copy your xgf file to this partition.

Re: Root access after firmware update.
Not sure where the DATA partition is. This may be the issue of my current problem.
The R1CBU SD card has the following:
boot.scr
sun8i-r16-x6100.dtb
zlmage
I copied X6100_BBFW_V1.1.8_240915003_160.xgf straight to the sd card.
The first 2 commands seemed to do something.
cp /mnt/X6100_BBFW_V1.1.8_240915003_160.xgf /tmp/mnt/usr/firmware/ ?shows the following error.
Can't stat '/mnt/X6100_BBFW_V1.1.8_240915003_160.xgf' no such file or directory
I checked the mnt folder. All I see is app_logs, ft_log.adi, msg, params.db, quo_log.db and rec
I really appreciate your patience with this and I am excited that we seem to be getting closer to a solution.
Thanks again.

Many thanks for this.
Rebooted and tried loads of times. Suddenly started working.
Just trying to work out how to save the changes. I'll update shortly. Many thanks.
Finally got full tx. Thank you so much!
One final thing. Is there a way to copy over the X6100_BBFW_V1.1.8_240915003_160.csv file to the radio to update the firmware to wider audio?
I have put the file on an sd card and need to figure how to copy it to?/usr/firmware.
?
Thanks again.

Re: Root access after firmware update.
Hi Georgy.
?
Thank you for your quick reply. Greatly appreciated.
Wifi seems connected. Even tried filezilla. It says connection established, Waiting for welcome message. Its almost like the radio will not allow access.
This is a brand new radio purchased 3 days ago. I hope they have not changed anything. My original x6100 had no issues before a small thunderstorm.
How would I go about the cable connection?
?
Sean.

Hi.
Might be a network issue. Did you try to connect via cable?

Re: R1CBU firmware 0.27.0
Even more unique is the “DX-FT-8” tablet-radio for FT8 only. Smaller, lighter, but less than 1 watt in high power. But is all in one. Only things you need is a DC source and antenna. Look it up onGitHub.?

Looking forward to trying this out on my next park activation!
Just curious if anyone knows, are there any other rigs with this "stand-alone" FT8 capability or is this unique to this rig & this firmware?

Root access after firmware update.
Just purchased an X6100 after previous one blew up.
Unfortunately it has the latest firmware APP 1.1.9 Base 1.1.8.
I can no longer login using either WinSCP or PuTTY
I have downgraded to all previous firmware and app versions and the problem is still there.
WinSCP hangs on Connecting to host then displays Network Error. Software caused connection abort.
PuTTY comes up with the same error.
Could they have changed something to make root impossible?
Would really love to get the 160Hz firmware and open tx in there.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: R1CBU firmware 0.27.0 WATERFALL station labels
Hi Greg, I added an issue on Git but wonder what other may make of this idea??
?
Hi Greg, I am suggesting the ability for the UI to read a disc based station file and populate labels on the waterfall in a way like a regular WEB SDR.
This may allow a script to obtain live station data for broadcast radio from sources like and radio reference or display saved memories on the WF etc.
As you have now made such an amazing job of making the radio a joy on AM SWL, the ability to live pull on air stations would be a massive boost for the radio in my opinion. A script could be setup to pull data to a file, if the UI could pull that and display it on the WF. There are any number of other ways to refine it, but as a baseline that would be good.
Cheers
Scot

Re: R1CBU firmware 0.27.0
Hi Gregory,
?
I took the x6100 with 0.27 out into the wilds yesterday and had a great activation! This FW is truly improved so much mate. Thank you so much! 14 FT8 iso in 45 minutes on 20 & 15m using a random wire in a tree with no matching, just wire and internal ATU. Got home, popped the SD card in my iMAC and had logged the entire activation in under 2 minutes. Brilliant!

Problem solved. There was a setting in "Sounds and Vibrations", "Separate app sound" that allowed me to redirect the audio from the DroidSSTV app. Now I only have to key the mic and the app does the rest.
