Hello Sid, Thanks for your reply. I'm also thinking about a Pandaboard but as it is 5X more expensive than the Pi, I want to make sure there are no other least expensive solutions available. As for my Pi, I did not try overclocking it. I have a 4,92 volts measurement at TP1 right now, so I guess I'm OK at that point. I use an RCA converter that gives a 5 volts 2,1 Amps USB output so I should have plenty of juice available Since I'm using a self powered USB hub with it (a Dynex that is on the verified peripheral list at E-Linux), on which I have the sound card, PL2303 USB-serial converter, keyboard and mouse, it may be because I'm mixing full speed 1.1 and high speed 2.0 usb devices on a port which is a trouble I read a lot on the RPi forums, and not fully corrected with the latest firmware releases. Also on newly revised Pi boards, they have replaced the polyfuses on the USB ports (F1 and F2) with 0 ohms jumpers so they can give a little bit more than the 100 ma current limit they had earlier. Will probably try jumping those on mine and try connecting the sound card and usb-serial directly to the USB ports without the hub and will connect to the Pi thru SSH. Maybe that'll be more reliable. We'll see. Saw the O-Droid X too. Seems to be a nice piece of equipment, and less expensive than the Pandaboard. However unless I'm mistaking, the UART seems to be used with a USB-serial module for console and debugging. Guess we'll still have to use a USB to serial converter for connecting with Linux and Svxlink on it. On the Pandaboard, the RS232 connector seems fully implemented for that use. Are you using Svxlink with your Pandaboard ? PS: I saw how my first post came out on the Svxlink-devel mail archives website. Seems that it goes all the way thru the right margin. Sorry about that... 73's from Guy VE2VAG Quebec Canada |

Thanks Ali and Sid for your replies. Will experiment in the next few days in regard of the Pi. Ali, the Futro’s that are available on Ebay rigth now over here are 300 MHz and around $125 each. Almost the same as a Beagleboard. So not the good time to get these for us. Sid, this is nice to know. Looks like the developpers at RPi finally are getting somewhere with these. I'll be watching for this. On a change of subject (or maybe I should start a new topic ?) Today, my wife's cousin gave me a used Dell Dimension 3000 PC with a LCD monitor they were getting rid of at his office. Pentium $ 3 GHz with 2 gigs or ram. Only thing missing was a hard drive. I’ve put an 80 Gb IDE in it and have installed Fedora 17 with LXDE on it. I installed all the dependencies I could since I wanted to compile a svxlink-server that uses 16KHz wav files. I guess the precompiled one in the Fedora repository has beel compiled with the use of 8Khz wav files. After a lot of trial and errors (remember, I’m a Linux newbie), there is an error in the “make” that states make[3]: *** No rule to make target `alsa/asoundlib.h', needed by `depend/AsyncAudioDeviceAlsa.dpp'. Stop. I've installed all the alsa files I could find: alsa-devel, alsa-utils, and the rest. I do have on my system the file asoundlib.h which is in the directory /usr/include/alsa If I do the command: rpm -qf /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h, I get the answer alsa-lib-devel-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686.rpm so it should mean that it is indded where it should be. Guess it would be much less hassle if I could get a precompiled one for Fedora 17 that uses the 16 KHz wav's Does anybody know if these are available somewhere ? Thanks and 73's from Guy VE2VAG |

I do have on my system the file > asoundlib.h which is in the directory /usr/include/alsa There is a problem with the makefiles being used today. Unfortunately this problem bites most new users, even those used to Linux. If you try to compile SvxLink and have a dependency missing, a faulty path to the missing dependency will be registered and will persist even after installing the dependency. Hence, the dependency will not be found. The cure for this is: make realclean which will remove all previously created dependency files. 73's de SM0SVX / Tobias > If I do the command: rpm -qf /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h, I get the > answer > alsa-lib-devel-1.0.25-3.fc17.i686.rpm > so it should mean that it is indded where it should be. > > Guess it would be much less hassle if I could get a precompiled one for > Fedora 17 that uses the 16 KHz wav's > Does anybody know if these are available somewhere ? > > Thanks and 73's from Guy VE2VAG |

Hi all, we're using Futro thin clients for SvxLink. The price @ebay is around 30Euros, maybe you have to extend the CF-card/Ram). It takes 6-7 watts of power (only one 12V connector) and depending on the version you get a (working) soundcard, 3 USB ports, one serial port, vga and ethernet. It's working with 16k-sounds and I have it running here with 2 different logics and an external USB sound card without any problems. 73's de Adi, DL1HRC Am 03.09.2012 18:13, schrieb Guy Vachon VE2VAG: > Hello Sid, > > Thanks for your reply.

Maybe that'll be more reliable. We'll see. One of the self powered hubs is a Belkin and the other is a no-Name made in Taiwan. Most of today I have had mouse, keyboard and RTL-SDR TV dongle connected without a freeze. I have just connected the SB Live! 24 USB to see how long it stays alive. I saw a picture of a guy using a different polyfuse wired dead bug style. If 0 Ohm jumpers will help I'll give them a try. Another problem is getting sound out of the Pi's 3.5mm socket. With QtRadio running I expected under ACCESS to have the "m" flag to show it's writing to the sound chip. root@pisces:/usr/src/ghpsdr3-alex/trunk/src/rtlsdr# fuser -v /dev/snd/* USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: lancelot 2624 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: lancelot 2624 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: lancelot 2624 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/timer: lancelot 2624 f.... pulseaudio > Saw the O-Droid X too.

Are you using Svxlink with your Pandaboard ? I only saw the RS232-UART adapter a few days ago but I am giving it a miss $15.00 + $30.00 shipment is not worth it. I'll use ssh. I am not using the Pi for svxlink at present, I wanted to give it a more stern test with homebrewed SDR radios using ghpsdr3-alex http://napan.ca/ghpsdr3/index.php/Main_Page I have at one time had it running hiqsdr-server connected to the HiQSDR transceiver on a separate network and dspserver putting it on the local LAN and the internet but after an update it recognises a connection and does nothing further, not even a subsequent disconnection. Now I have QtRadio running on it but I get no sound output from any of the servers either local or on the internet. My original thoughts were to put together a nice portable station using a UHFSDR (160m - 70cms) + SDR-Widget + Pi with mini keyboard, mouse and Lilliput 7" USB LCD screen but that's a big USB load. At the moment I have the HiQSDR + Pandaboard and a Lightning Bolt Quad up on the internet accessible from a PC with QtRadio or from an Android phone or tablet using gHPSDR or glSDR(this latter doesn't run on HTC phones - incompatible GPU). Both free apps available from Google Play Store. Looking forward to the day when I can join a few of the other guys and enjoy a QSO via Android phone from wherever I happen to be. For a few weeks I had the TV dongle + 2m/70cms colinear on the internet, I'll give that a try on the Pi if I can get a USB Ethernet dongle that doesn't cause a lock up. > PS: I saw how my first post came out on the Svxlink-devel mail archives > website.

Added a Gigabit Ethernet dongle, so far so good using the Taiwanese USB hub.

Hi Gunnar, Futro A240, it's a bit older version (got them for 10Euro). Upgradable up to 1GByte RAM and 16GByte CF. Installation with external CD ROM or USB-Stick with netinstall e.g. DF1AMB's auto install version. 73's de Adi, DL1HRC Am 04.09.2012 06:30, schrieb Gunnar Widell: > Do you have more information on what model of the Futro you have? > How did you install SvxLink on it? > > 73 de Gunnar SGP > > On 2012-09-03 19:09, Adi Bier wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> we're using Futro thin clients for SvxLink.
