Which SBC do you try this on? On ROCK 4 or another non-RPi device this should already fail as we do use Radxa's own APT repo anymore and hence there is no rockpi4-dtbo
package, at least not when the image was flashed within the 1.5 years or so.
On RPi it looks like the installation should go through nicely, or is it this "Adafruit_SSD1306" Python project which just does not run well with Python 3.11?
Generally there is no trivial way to install older Python versions. Debian Bookworm distributes only Python 3.11 via package repository, like every Debian version ships only a single Python version. But it is possible to install it into an isolated pyenv
environment. pyenv
allows you to relatively easily compile and install any Python version into a directory structure, which can then be loaded similar to how venv
and virtualenv
works. Within the environment you would need to install the required Python modules and the HAT project manually, i.e. Radxa's installer cannot be used. But the needed steps can be derived from it: https://s3.setq.io/rockpi/sh/quad-sata/raspbian.sh
Better would be of course if Radxa or Adafruit or whoever is responsible would update the software to be compatible with Python 3.11 (if this really is the problem). This and Debian Bullseye are stable releases for a while now, and in case of Debian there were 6 months freeze before the release where it was already clear that Python 3.11 will be the final version shipped, hence now 8 months time to add support for any project which shall run on Debian.
I use RPi4B, QuadSATA HAT mounted on it.
I ran curl -sL https://s3.setq.io/rockpi/sh/quad-sata/raspbian.sh | sudo -E bash -
and got following
Package(s) python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-pil python3-spidev pigpio python3-pigpio net-tools is required.
Would you like to apt-get install the packages? [Y/n] y

Ah right, because the RPi repo ships this package with a date-based version string while on Debian it is 3.6-1
. Try this:
cat << '_EOF_' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/python3-spidev

apt install python3-spidev

then I realized broken installation of Quad SATA might have caused above errors. so without thinking much further I repeated installation;
root@DietPi:~# curl -sL https://s3.setq.io/rockpi/sh/quad-sata/raspbian.sh | sudo -E bash -
installation went well, RasPi recognizes SATA HAT and disks are kicking loud 😄, thanks lot for the quick support 👍

is it an issue to pull from Debian repo? if yes can you fix it?
is it an issue to pull from Debian repo? if yes can you fix it?
That's fine for time being. At the moment RPI guys did not provide a Bookworm repository. Therefore, we need to pull some files from Debian Bookworm side.
Hello DietPi. how to downgrade Python version to < 3.10 in Bookworm installation? Reason: Python 3.11 or greater version creates issues during Radaxa Quad SATA HAT firmware - ( curl -sL https://rock.sh/get-rockpi-sata | sudo -E bash - ).
Please advise.
Thanks & regards, Deepak
