p2_app not working after update

Post by on7dmq »

After trying to upgrade my Anan G2 V1 i can't get my G2 working again.
When trying to upgrade the p2_app i get the error as you can see in the attached picture.
If i look in the Saturn/sw_projects/P2_app i can't find the P2_app file itself. The p2app.c and p2app.o files are there. Think it needs to be there.

Kind regards Alain.

Sorry about that. I can't explain how that happened as I had been compiling and running the code before doing a commit.

It is now fixed!

Laurence,
Now i was able to upgrade the Firmware from FPGA V15 to V26 and P2app from V22 to V43
The P2_app is now working with thetis.But cant get the PiHpsdr working stand alone.
Normally i should get a PiHPsdr starting menu by startup the radio.But it doesn't.I get the screen with all the icons were i can start the P2app for running Thetis on my Pc.

If you want PiHPSDR to start on bootup, you will need to edit the Autostart file. The latest manual has the relevant information.

Right click in the desktop icon and look at the path the shortcut is using and compare it to the actual location where the executable file for PiHPSDR is located. You can either edit the path for the current shortcut or create a new desktop shortcut and after confirming that the new shortcut is working, delete the old shortcut.

As seen on the uploaded picture it looks like it can't find the right file.

This is the latest version from Christoph. There are good instructions on building the application at the bottom of the page.

Well i followed the instructions and now the p2app is working again and i can use Thetis with my Pc.
Next thing is now that i can't run pihpsdr on my standalone G2 V1 7"display.
I got in contact with DL1YCF Christoph and seems that my Raspi Buster operating system is to old and isn't supported anymore.So no chance to update pihpsdr.
How can i update the OS system or what can i do to het pihpsdr working again?
What possibilitys do i have?

We are having a discussion about how to provide OS updates. Part of the problem is, no one person has all of the hardware options than need to be tested. The likelihood is that OS images, with instructions to use them, will be available.
