G2 PIHPSDR Issues

Hi all received my new G2 Saturday as my 7000 had to go to Doug for repair. The G2 is certainly a bit different than my 7000.... dealing with Linux and Pi now is required. Luckily, I have a little experience with Raspberry Pi so not that bad and so far, it appears to be working well. I did have a fire wall issue after a fresh Windows / Thetis install that delayed me a bit until and I realized had the same issue 3 years ago when I received my first Anan. My G2 is black face (headless) and I had it 8 days after placing my order; not bad considering my Covid era 7000 Mk III took 3 months :). Not sure at this point which one I will keep but I’m sure I’ll decide after operating the G2 a bit.

Anyway, I want to mess around with PIHPSDR for stand alone operation but mine did not come with it installed just a greyed icon on the desktop that won't open. It reports that it is missing files when executed. When I received the G2 being a normal fix things that are not broken ham I immediately updated the firmware and ran through the commands listed below to update the P2 app but received errors when at the git pull of pihpsdr. I don't remember the exact error as I'm at work, but it was something about missing and unmerged files.

I ran flash writer, and it updated fine to V19 firmware but still no go with PIHPSDR, Thetis work fine. Can anyone help me with the Linux commands to grab and reinstall install PIHPSDR?

Finally, the P2 App starts automatically and needs to be shut down when running PIHPSDR what is the procedure in Linux to stop a program running in the background. Thanks Vin KD1GA

cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app

make clean

cd ~/github/Saturn/sw_projects/audiotest
make clean

cd ~/github/Saturn git pull cd sw_projects/P2_app
make
cd ../audiotest
make

cd ~/github/pihpsdr
make clean
git pull
make (Got error here)

Vin,

The latest pihpsdr manual gives a clear instruction on how to install the software:

https://github.com/dl1ycf/pihpsdr/relea ... urrent.pdf

Go to Appendix J.

Erik,

One additional question if you don't mind. On the headless G2 the P2 app starts automatically and runs in the background. How do you kill the process. Thanks Vin KD1GA

You can also use the Taskmanager p2app end Task.
