Thank you much Erik I think I found what I need by following that link. I went to the bottom of assets where it says version 2.4 zip file?

[Dave30Mac]

Ok so I figured out how to install the latest Pihpsdr version but when I launch it I’m getting the Discovery window? See pic please

If you want to auto-start, set these options:

Either protocol2 or xdma (only one)

It has to different versions for me to select in that pic I posted ,but the version I updated to 2.5 I'm not seeing?

[n1gp]

The rear most image in your pic is pihpsdr and it says it's version 2.5

The front discovery selection is giving you 2 options, eth0 or xdma

It looks like you have p2app running which is giving you the eth0 option.
Did you start it? Otherwise it is most likely setup to start on boot.

You don't want it running if your going to run pihpsdr locally on the G2.

You can stop it for the current session by typing: killall -9 p2app

[Dave30Mac]

OK thank you for that info and I never started the P2APP ,so it must be setup to begin at startup. I'm going to try that command. 73

[Dave30Mac]

Ok I typed in the killall -9 p2app command ,but opening pihpsdr it’s still giving me the eth0 option which means the p2app is still running? I included pics.
Thanks

Something must be restarting it.

I'm assuming your starting piHPSDR by touching the piHPSDR icon
on the screen?

I wonder what that desktop icon has as commands in it.
Maybe it has a command in it to also start p2app?

To see that type: cat /home/pi/Desktop/piHPSDR*

[Dave30Mac]

Ok I just want to say thank you everyone's help and I did successfully update from V2.1 to V2.5. For some reason when I load V2.5 I can only change frequencies by using my mouse the VFO and button on the Anan G2 Display are not working with this version? When I exit out of V2.5 and start V2.1 again ,then the VFO and buttons on the G2 works. Is there a setting I'm missing or maybe I didn't install correctly? Thanks

[n1gp]

Try:

cd /home/pi/github/Saturn/rules

sudo ./install-rules.sh



Then try piHPSDR again. If the VFO still doesn't work, try rebooting.

[Dave30Mac]

Ok thanks n1gp I’ll try this tomorrow after work and report back.

[Dave30Mac]

Ok I put that command in and this is what I got? I rebooted ,but the controls on the G2 display still aren’t working?
Thanks

Did you reboot the radio as suggested?

Yes I turned the G2 completely off ,then reconnected to pihpsdr. The way it’s setup when I first turn the G2 on the p2app automatically allows me to start Thetis without double clicking on the p2app icon. Is there a way to make sure when I boot up for the first time that nothing is running in the background?

[Trucker]

You can edit the Autostart file. The last line in the file should indicate which application is started on bootup. In your case it sounds like P2APP is autostarting. I don't recall off the top of my head what the keyboard character is used in Linux as a comment character to comment out that line so it won't execute that command on startup.
I had some issues with my Ultra and the Raspbian OS that caused me a bit of grief. One was the keyboard setting was set for the UK character set instead of the US character set. When I would enter commands like those that Laurance and others posted, either the wrong character was entered or the editor would not accept the character. Once I corrected the character set for US keyboards, editing was much easier.

Ok thanks I’ll find the auto start file I assume it’s in the menu? That will be my next step ,so they aren’t both running. I have no idea why the g2 external controls aren’t working on this new version for me of 2.5. If I load up 2.1 version the controls work fine. I probably should delete the 2.1 ,so I don’t have both on the desktop. Thanks for your help and I don’t run the pihpsdr as I have been using Thetis ,but I thought it would be cool to have that option when I didn’t want to start the computer. Ok off to work and I think you guys for your support.
