Troubleshooting help

[Juan J. Manfredi, Sr.]

Hello,

First of all, many thanks to Johan for developing the radioberry board.

I purchased a Radioberry board from Amazon (AURSINC SDR). 

I installed the radioberry and the phHPSDR software, but I don't see anything in the panadapter not the watefall.

My radioberry (callsign NA0B) shows up in

http://www.pa3gsb.nl/radioberry/api/read.php

E4:5F:01:40:5E:94 NA0B FN00am 73.0 0.9 2021.06.25 CL025 2021 

The output of piHPSDR (started from a teminal) ends in

reconfigure_radio: receivers=1

reconfigure_receiver: waterfall set_size_request: width:800 height:120

reconfigure_transmitter: width=800 height=240

old_protocol_run

metis_restart

metis_start_stop: 1

The output of radioberry  ends in

SDR Program IP-address 192.168.1.220  

Discovery Port 53334 

Received packages not for me! 

Received packages not for me! 

Received packages not for me! 

Start Port 41449 

SDR Program sends UDP Start command 

SDR Program sends Stop command 

I would appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions.

If you know where to buy a more genuine radioberry, please let me know.

Hi  Juan

Your setup seems fine.

pihpsdr provide the possibility to use a pihpsdr controller using the gpio pins of the RPI (option Configure GPIO in start menu pihpsdr)

But the radioberry also using the same  the gpio pins  of the RPI

They cannot both make use of the same gpio pins.

Use the pihpsdr release from:

https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/releases

Do you wish to install the local CW option: yes or no?"  ANSWER with no

Than you get a version without the option in pihpsdr for using the pihpsdr controller; radioberry is than the only user of the gpio pins

Hope this helps; please let me know if this is also your problem?

Thank you Johan for taking the time to answer my query.

I reinstalled phipsdr making sure I chose the no CW option.

The program install, starts, but it does not run. 

During the installation I get the error message below.

Juan,

Please use the install script, i assume it is working again:

cd /tmp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/master/SBC/rpi-4/releases/dev/pihpsdr_install.sh
sudo chmod +x pihpsdr_install.sh
./pihpsdr_install.sh

Thanks for the new script that worked fine (it compiled without errors)

My issue seems to be of a different nature.

The panadapter and water fall are black, not every noise is shown. I tried today with SDRConsole with the same results

May be I have a hardware problem.  It would appear that the UDP packages are not going from the radioberry to the SDR program.

Thanks again,

73 de Juan, NA0B.

Juan, I assume you have the Radioberry software installed right? Without it running SDR Console will not work. I'm not sure if Radioberry has to be installed for piHDSDR to run but I believe it is.

Can you provide us with some more detail?

Did you install using the release, or did you do it manually?

please in a command window:

sudo systemctl stop radioberry

sudo radioberry  (please provide us with the feedback)

other window:

sudo pihpsdr  

Please provide us with some screen prints...and log information as present in the command winodow.

Thanks for sharing. Sorry for the late response...

That looks great; all seems fine. If you are transmitting when the logging shows 'SDR Program sends UDP Start command '  iam curious what the firmware is logging...

By the way : You are not running the latest gateware 73.0 but you are running 72-5

I know this is an old post but I am new to radioberry and just made the purchase and I followed these instructions to no prevail, "https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/releases"
This is what i get and my SDR Console is not finding it.

Failed to open /dev/radioberry: No such file or directory

[Rob Robinette]

I just did an update to my pi4 with the radioberry hat and now I get the same errors as OnYourMark above. The radioberry module is missing.

[Rob Robinette]

When I run the Radioberry install script I get a fatal error and the radioberry module is not installed.

[Rob Robinette]

This is part of the output from the Radioberry install script:

Radioberry gateware Cyclone 10 CL025 installed.

[Rob Robinette]

Does radioberry require raspberry pi OS Stretch? When I upgraded to raspian Bullseye it broke the radioberry script. If it does need stretch is there a way to flash Stretch? The pi flash tool can flash Bullseye and Buster but does not offer Stretch.

[Rob Robinette]

[SOLVED] I loaded a fresh SD card with the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye 64 bit and ran the RadioBerry install script and got the "Fatal error: missing module" during install but when I did the 
sudo modinfo radioberry it reported correctly. SDR Console found the "Hermes Lite" radioberry and runs as expected.

[OnYourMark]

I am going to try this now, cross your fingers, and thanks for posting!!
