CaribouLite turns any 40-pin Raspberry-Pi into a Tx/Rx 6GHz SDR

Persistent Issues #118

Open a-oxide opened 1 year ago

a-oxide commented 1 year ago

I have been trying to use the Cariboulite on a RPi4B running DragonOS Pi64. Using the newly updated main branch, I run into a consistent issue in which the Caribou is detected by both Soapy and various SDR software (GQRX, SDRPP, etc), but is unable to receive any data. When looking at the logs for SDRPP, it notes that the Caribou is timing out. I checked and saw that I had Soapy server running at the same time. I disables soapy server and attempted again. No change. I then tried to run the test program included in the cariboulite repo. It displays a new error, very similar to #66

Further research shows that #66 was likely due to a kernel version mismatch. Since DragonOS Pi64 includes precompiled headers, I check that they are the correct version with "uname -r". The thread concludes by saying that the @konimaru fork should work properly.

Using the konimaru fork still revealed the same issue.

How do I get this DragonOS, is that available from the RPi Imager?

a-oxide commented 1 year ago

It is an unofficial RPI image. You can find it on sourceforge I believe

You can get it here.

I put it together in my spare time. I also have a CaribouLite and been meaning to preinstall everything. It’s based on Ubuntu 22.04 aarch64 so a little different then pi os. Someone put a ticket together on here explaining the steps required to install your fork to it, probably safe to use main now too. I just note that I comment out or remove the kernel headers from the install script.

As far as using it direct with any application, I’ll have to check again but I know it’s important to set the bandwidth option in sdrpp because what it’s defaulted too will cause it to not work.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

If you’re running the install script as is there’s likely a chance it’s installing the raspi kernel or headers. Remove this from line 23 of the install.sh file before running it just to be safe raspberrypi-kernel-headers

Besides that this guide details the rest https://github.com/cariboulabs/cariboulite/issues/94

But note he’s using two different systems. The pi running sdrpp server with the CaribouLite and then a laptop connecting to the server with sdrpp. I really need to give this a go again because my memory is failing me. I can’t remember if I had everything running on the Pi and able to use sdrpp directly. I think so once I changed the bandwidth setting.

konimaru commented 1 year ago

Got it running and had my first test today, timeout as reported but I have a hunch what's wrong. Reporting back.

konimaru commented 1 year ago

Hmm, for reasons currently unknown the /dev/smi entry isn't created when smi_stream_dev is loaded. The support module makes it into memory

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep smi
smi_stream_dev         24576  0
bcm2835_smi            24576  1 smi_stream_dev

but not having the device entry blocks subsequent initialization. IIRC this [entry creation] happens automatically under Raspberry Pi OS Lite & Co even without udev rules file.

Strange, I wonder what I’ve done different. I think I used your fork and script and not the main though just yesterday. I’ll go check. I’m still in a position where I have to run sudo SoapySDRServer on the Pi and then access it elsewhere. I’ll go check again and report back. I’ll also reflash and do it all over.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

Did you manually go edit the /boot/firmware/config.txt? Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

I'm using your fork actually

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/projects/cariboulite$ cat .git/config 
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = https://github.com/konimaru/cariboulite.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "main"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/main
[submodule "software/libcariboulite/src/iir"]
        active = true
        url = https://github.com/berndporr/iir1

And this is what lsmod shows on my end

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/projects/cariboulite$ lsmod | grep smi
bcm2835_smi_dev        24576  0
bcm2835_smi            24576  1 bcm2835_smi_dev
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/projects/cariboulite$

And when running SoapySDRUtil, ignore the SDRPlay error. That'll happen unless you install the sdrplay api in /usr/src.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/projects/cariboulite$ sudo SoapySDRUtil --find

And when running SoapySDRUtil, ignore the SDRPlay error. That'll happen unless you install the sdrplay api in /usr/src.

This log is consistent with my results as well.

a-oxide commented 1 year ago

To address what @alphafox02 said about the bandwidth in SDR++, I have had the same issue with essentially all the software I've tested on DragonOS. I have NOT tried using soapy remote however, I have intentionally disabled SoapySDRServer because I wanted to run things locally. I guessed that the Soapy server may have been eating the bandwidth of the Caribou, making it repeatedly timeout when communicating with SDRPP or other software. I don't believe this is the case.

konimaru commented 1 year ago

Interesting. I used DragonOS_Pi64_Beta30.img to start with but before dealing with cariboulite I updated the -1026 kernel to -1028. I'll try again later without upgrade. Wrt config.txt, I only looked at the one under /boot but that was zero length (not sure if that happened as result of the upgrade) so I didn't look further, IOW no edits.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

On raspbian it’s in /boot but for some reason on Ubuntu aarch64 they decided to put it into /boot/firmware/

I think just make sure that one has the edits applied and I think then you’ll be good.. except that I don’t think I’ve gotten anything to run locally. All my testing is essentially sharing the hat on the pi over a network to some software on the other end.. I tend to get slightly frustrated and walk away. I would love to have it all just working well and then I’d just include it in fhe image by default and share.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

@konimaru refreshed my Pi and attempted to use the main repo, but this is now preventing step 4 (main software) from compiling.

(https://github.com/cariboulabs/cariboulite/issues/119)

Using your branch of course all is still well.

konimaru commented 1 year ago

OK, this time I kept the installed kernel (1026). I also adjusted the config.txt file in its new location (maybe that's what was missing last time). And now I have a /dev/smi entry. With enabled/started SoapyRemote I can detect the cariboulite remotely, logs look promising.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

I also ended up reflashing. Fixed the mistake in the above linked ticket on the main repo. Rebuilt and it seems to work just like your fork. I was then able to adjust bandwidth and not be solely stuck on 4.

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

I just need to see at a minimum what do I need to keep in place after building so I can maybe have it all Pre installed and the user could configure the txt file as needed. They would also have to rebuild everything upon a kernel change.

konimaru commented 1 year ago

Fired up CubicSDR, connected and it just works.

And I can't stress this enough, keep an eye on your bandwidth. CS16 with default sample rate doesn't go down well over a 100Mbit line (RPi3). I currently use CS8 (~65Mbit) which goes first via cable to my router where I pick it up over WLAN (130Mbit link).

alphafox02 commented 1 year ago

I’ll try this again, so Cubicsdr was able to be used locally? I assume maybe with sudo CubicSDR or did it allow connection to SoapyRemote right on the same Pi? Also the main branch had some code that was submitted recently that keeps it from compiling (requires fixing it first).

konimaru commented 1 year ago

The test was using a remote CubicSDR, mainly to sidestep the sudo issue (SoapyRemote as a service already has root privileges so that's all nicely covered for me). That said, SoapyRemote should work locally as well (using localhost).
