Greetings.

This looks like the correct sequence with a couple of corrections:

1. JSSC is never bundled in the core JDK or JRE, and the version that is bundled inside YAAC only supports Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X, so you will always need to install comms/java-simple-serial-connector on a FreeBSD system in addition to some version of the JDK or JRE. Do you know in what directory the libjssc-java.jar file is stored for the FreeBSD factory installation (or if it is named differently)? I'd like to make sure I'm searching the correct directories when looking for a factory install. Not sure why the newer Java versions wouldn't work with the FreeBSD stock version of JSSC.

8. The "-debug" option to YAAC is generally not needed unless you are debugging some internal feature of YAAC, and specifying it without a qualifier of what subsystems of YAAC you are debugging produces so much extra log output that the performance will be impaired.

Otherwise, this looks good.

Are USB serial devices on FreeBSD named ttyU0 instead of ttyUSB0?

Subject: [yaac-users] YAAC under FreeBSD 14.2

I'm returning to FreeBSD after almost 10 years using Debian/Fedora for ham laptop. Its been an expected return with having to compile from source and/or search for obscure packages to get things to work.

YAAC is one of the first ham programs to get installed to my older laptop with a fresh install of FreeBSD 14.2 running a XFCE desktop with 1Tb SSD. Through trial and error, here are my steps to get YAAC communicating with both my GPS and TH-D72:


1. $ pkg install java/openjdk8 [tried openjdk22 --> 11, all fail to find jssc, aka no serial ports. Both YAAC & FreeBSD jssc lib not found >openjdk8]
2. $ pkg install comms/java-simple-serial-connector [>11yrs old, is from source for fork used by YAAC]
3. $ pkg install gpsd
4. $ vi /etc/rc.conf
* add: gpsd_enable="YES"
* add: gpsd_device="/dev/ttyU0" [check your usb port, I will build a udev style rule for the GPS under FreeBSD]
5. download YAAC to /home/user/Software-local/YAAC
6. unzip YAAC
7. cd YAAC
8. java -jar YAAC.jar -debug
9. config as needed

I will continue to test/tune this process with the newest JSSC fork and newer openjdk version. Will report back my findings.

That is really peculiar. The FreeBSD JSSC package deliberately installs the jssc JAR file in a subdirectory of /usr/local/openjdk8 (not a Java-version-independent name like /usr/local/java). On the other hand, I can add that directory to the list of operating system directories being searched by YAAC, so it should work with newer Java versions (the openjdk8 directory would be created by the JSSC package even if openjdk8 itself isn't installed). I will fix this in the next build of YAAC.

[Edited Message Follows]

Just posted to my VE7PPE blog: I added more detail and some corrections, then better formatted.

@Andrew - Here is the JSSC port page with the details on file locations:

I retested Openjdk8 --> 22 with FreeBSD JSSC, and only openjdk8 works with YAAC. For the rest, YAAC doesn't locate the JSSC and serial posts are not available. Suspecting that the Makefile requires Java-8, but haven't checked yet.

RE USB: Yes, FreeBSD assigns /dev/ttyU0, ttyU1, ....
