Does anyone have experience installing Pat Winlink on a Jetson Nano (4GB version)?

The CPU architecture on the Nano is: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 MPCore

I tried to use the Raspberry Pi compiled version but I am getting this error:
    "package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64)"

Is the only path forward to install the Go Lang environment and then manually install Pat Winlnk?  Will that even work?  Are there manual install instructions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Sounds like you're in a situation where you'll need to compile from source since arm64 is not an architecture we see very often or have pre-built binaries. The instructions are in the wiki; it shouldn't be too difficult. Basically, just install Go, download the Pat source (as a zip is probably easiest), then run `go get -u github.com/la5nta/pat`. After that, you should hopefully end up with a `pat` binary that you can execute.

If you have any issues, let me know and I'll be happy to help.
Chris

I made some good progress getting Pat Winlink to work on my Jetson Nano - but I am
still not quite there yet. 

I was able to get Pat Winlink compiled from source, but my hold up now is some weird
problem with the "kissattach" command. 

When I issue this command: "sudo kissattach /tmp/kisstnc wl2k"

I get this error:
"kissattach: Error setting line discipline: TIOCSETD: Invalid argument
Are you sure you have enabled MKISS support in the kernel
or, if you made it a module, that the module is loaded?"

Searching the internet for a resolution for this issue led me to some suggestions
to add a mkiss and ax25 to the "/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf" file, but this
does not seem to resolve my issue.

I recognize I am beyond the scope of Pat Winlink support with this current issue,
but has anyone seen this type of error before?

I will post this over on the Jetson Nano support site to see if they can help.

Thanks to anyone that can offer suggestions.

Kind regards,

Mike
