G2 Software and Firmware Updates

[laurencebarker]

piHPSDR is in Christoph Wullen's repository:

https://github.com/DL1YCF/pihpsdr

but there are likely to be experimental changes there. I know that the current commit hasn't been tested yet, because Christoph does not have a G2. I won't be home to test that until Sunday earliest.

I will ask him if the long term version can be updated.



The build instructions haven't been changed.

I notice saturnprimary2023V13.bin is loaded up on github, is this good to load on G2 without front ?

Cheers

also just to mention that on my G2 using Thetis v2.10.3.6 setup / general shows

Firmware version 2.0.0 Id:
Saturn Protocol 2 (v3.9)

So dumb question , how does this relate to the latest firware version ? In other words I should see Saturn Protocol 2 (v12) when updated or is this not reference to the bin file ?

That's a question for the factory. Abhi was going to tell me when he had a stable location, but hasn't told me yet.

Look in the Saturn Manual for the links.

Oh!!! Sorry, links are dead.

Today I updated my P2APP to the latest version, all went well and after starting the P2APP on the G2 it shows the new version number but on transmit I have a occasional blip where the SWR red box flashes up on Thetis and I hear the relay click as it has dropped out the transmitter on the G2 for a split micro second. Pure signal drops red and the goes back green as recalculates. This does not happen every time I transmitted but also didn’t matter if PS was off or on. SWR is flat on my antenna. I went back to the previous version of P2APP that I had been using and everything is back to normal. Not sure if it’s just mine or if anyone else is seeing this anomaly on transmit.

Anyone have an image of the SD card for the G2 with display.?
I foolishly also did an update to the Pi, and now all screens are Black, as I read above happening to others.
Have Apache Labs not paid teir google storage account? Why isn't such important data files as these available from their website?

Can you load and try new p2app software V20 please?

(FPGA "as is" just the software)

I think this happened if you changed frequency (eg RX2) during TX, or some other change to settings

Thank you Laurence for the update, I have it loaded and have been ragchewing for about a hour without any issues.

Thanks to Abhi at Apache Labs.
For sending me a link to download the display G2 SD Card Image file.
Others who accidently trash their cards may be helped.
