New development release

[pa3gsb]

Hi All,

I have a new development release available:

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

This release contains the following change:

- use 8 bits for RX stream iso of 4 bits.  

- use SPI for TX iso  of 4 bits

Please give it a try. And let me know if it working for you?

Have fun.

Hi Johan,

I tried your new dev release. Install went smooth but I think I am seeing aliasing in dev where this doesn't happen in the stable release.

Plus the same iq data is on RX2.

Is there something I need to do to prepare for the 8-bit -vs- 4-bit rx data transfer?

BTW, what do you think will be the gain of the 8 -vs- 4 bit, 2x RX @ 384k?

Hello Johan,

Looks like the CWL and CWR pin assignments for the PiHPSDR GPIO pins changed in this gateware release (73.2) - commit c175c98c31bf3542e37d130de5c8367656728928 ?

Earlier it was Pin 13 and Pin 39, now it is 113 and 42, which means, the PiHPSDR CW configuration described in this page <https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/wiki/piHPSDR-running-CW-mode> is no longer valid. Is that right?

From commit c175c98c on Gateware repo:

-#//BCM13
-set_location_assignment PIN_13 -to pi_cwl
-#//BCM23
-set_location_assignment PIN_39 -to pi_cwr
+#//BCM17
+set_location_assignment PIN_113 -to pi_cwl
+#//BCM21
+set_location_assignment PIN_42 -to pi_cwr

Earlier it was wiring pi pin 23, wiring pi pin 4. Now it is wiring pi pin 0 and wiring pi pin 29. This needs to be changed in the PiHPSDR for CW configurations, is this correct?

Hi Johan, Ram, Rick,

Thanks info!

I've confirmed that the built-in keyer works with the following pin changes.

 piHPSDR (build 2020-10-12)

    Configure GPIO/CW

    CWL GPIO  4  to  0    <-  WiringPi# not BCM#

    CWR GPIO 23 to 29

 *piHPSDR (build 2021-08-20) is NG.

   I tried to change the following 74,75 lines in gpio.c of pihpsdr. 

   but it didn't work. (can't receive either)

   /tmp/pihpsdr/gpio.c

     70 // Broadcom pins #9, 10, 11 are not used

     71 // by Controller1 and Controller2_V1

     72 // (and keep #2,3 reserved for I2C extensions)

     73 //

     74 int CWL_BUTTON=17;   //  9

     75 int CWR_BUTTON=21;   // 11

- GW 73.2 -

 The received spectrum is also symmetrical.  <- Attached.

Tnx

Hi All,

I have updated the beta release.

Only tested in simulation... can you guys give it a try?

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

pihpsdr pins are changed...need to check later.

Have fun.

It's fixed!

RX,TX both OK. (Many WW RTTY stations today)

Tnx!

I built everything from source, including the FPGA code.

When tuning broadcast stations (there is a strong MW station nearby at
612Khz). I see the spectrum twice (mirror image on the left, but
attenuated).

That mirrored spurious spectrum is seen in other bands too (but
attenuated). If you click on a particular signal so that it is at the
center, the spurious signal seen on the spectrum suddenly vanishes. This
is easily observed when running Quisk on a PC with radioberry running on
the network. If you click a seemingly legitimate signal on the right
side and center it (or simply move it in the screen - VFO remains the
same, only the display changes) with the Quisk arrow buttons, the signal
suddenly is not heard. Not sure if I explained it well enough to be
visualized.

I also see a lot of spurious signals on the screen. There is of course
RFI in my neighbourhood, there is a source that repeats every 20khz. I
see this everywhere in the spectrum now. Haven't yet checked whether it
is something that came up today or whether this is seen in this
particular release of code.

Hi Ram,

I have replaced the released driver,firmware and gateware first.

 But I've seen a similar mirrored spectrum. and LSB/USB were reversed.

That was my command error. ( I forgot "$sudo modprobe -r radioberry". so i used old rbf.. )

-> https://github.com/pa3gsb/Radioberry-2.x/wiki/Radioberry-Software-stack

Is the following install-command also wrong?
