Progress regarding Pi Zero (N) #117

Open edegraaff opened 1 year ago

edegraaff commented 1 year ago

Does someone having a normal performing Cariboulite hat on a Pi Zero or Zero N? Since i received the cariboulite i have testes all kind of pi's and versions of os, attended and unattended. For now i have 1 success working on a pi4 , with 64 bit os unattended with poor results.

In fact, the whole promisse to get cariboulite running on a Pi Zero is imho a target that is not been realized. This makes the whole project way to expensive. When i take the cost of the cariboulite and a pi4 i could for this money almost buy an airspy, the hackrf is a bit more expensive. But for his money i realy did expected someting that is realy supporting my openwebrx sdr or could do some great work on its own.

All suggestions how to handle this welcome.

nobody has a normal performing cariboulite on anything. software is sucky, support is non existant and github code activity is based on a developer who fixed some bugs in march, some bugs in april and cariboulite founder only integrated them after a large part of the community started raising their voice.

this project needs a developer who knows what he's doing and doesn't sell stories. I nominate @konimaru and I think we should all chip in and donate some funds to motivate him to bring us a working driver and software support.

My experience is that the installation crashes both on RPi-2Z and RPi-3A both with fresh 64bit OS. Hangs on SOAPY installation 5%.
