Which version of R1CBU is best to use on the x6100?


 

Georgy et. al.,

I've noticed that there seems to be multiple versions of the original R1CBU firmware for the x6100, from different developers. What are the differences between the different development versions? Are there different "manuals" for the different versions that describe the changes for each version? Alternatively, is there only one "official" version? And if so, which one is it, so I can use that version?

I plan on getting back into using my x6100, and would like to install the R1CBU software in it, especially since I plan on doing FT8 a lot. So, I will need to find out how to install it, as it seems like there appear to be at least two ways to run the software, depending on the development version.

Which is the "official" R1CBU manual, with the latest changes in it? Once I get my x6100 connected and start using it some more, I plan on updating the manual for any changes needed due to software improvements since the last Xiegu version. I did embedded software for 45 years, before retiring 10 years ago. And, I did hundreds of pages of documentation. So if I get the time, from retirement activities, I can update the manual, (if I get the time).

The best version is always the latest version. The original release was developed by Oleg, R1CBU, but he is working on other projects now. Development is open-source, and the primary developer now is Georgy, R2RFE.

It has always been run directly from a micro-SD card. It does not install on the X6100 radio.
