YAAC won't run on RPi
|
Trying to install YAAC on a Raspberry Pi for my RV, followed website instructions and get the following error:
michael@trailer-pi:~/YAAC $ java -jar YAAC.jar Error occurred during initialization of VM Server VM is only supported on ARMv7+ VFP I must have goofed somewhere, not sure where. I installed the required stuff with sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jre unzip libjssc-java and it looks like everything went OK. I copied the Desktop file from another machine that is working OK, but the program won't launch from the desktop icon. I tried from the command line and get the above error. Researching I found others who had similar issues and was suggested to try sudo apt install default-jdk Which went OK, but then /YAAC $ java -version Error occurred during initialization of VM Server VM is only supported on ARMv7+ VFP After a lot of fooling around, I figured out I was using an old RPi B+ with an ARM6 processor, which normally doesn't run Openjdk 11. However, I found this website with a version for older processors. It seems to be really slow, but it is finally running. -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day." |

I was setting this up on an existing RPi system. At the time, when I started, I was unaware of specifically which model of RPi I was using. It was in a case that was difficult, and, at the time, deemed unnecessary to disassemble. I wanted to add APRS capability to this particular device. Honestly, I was unaware there were different processors. It was an educational experience. As I proceeded, I learned of the ARM6/ARM7 issue (full disclosure, I honestly did not initially understand what ARM7 meant), I learned of the Openjdk8 vs Openjdk11 issues. I discovered a version on Openjdk11 that would run on an ARM6 processor.

For some, apparently misguided, reason, I believed sharing my experience might be found useful or at least interesting to some users of this forum. It was a journey that, eventually resulted in arriving at the goal. My apologies if you found this somehow distressing and ask forgiveness that this old man with rapidly slipping memory has not achieved your apparent higher level of enlightenment. I guess this is not the correct venue for sharing experiences.

I'll agree that the case insensitivity may cause confusion. |
