Since i am puzzeling for weeks to be able to receive a signal, from my porto or even a radiostation... i am able to compile without issues on a pi4 and pi zero 2w What sdr program or best way to go forward and working to tune and listen to signals. I am using raspbian 64 full gui version on a pi4

sudo SoapySDRUtil --find does recognise the sdr MODEM Version: AT86RF215IQ (without basebands), version: 03Printing 'findCariboulite' Request: Found device 0 channel = S1G device_id = 0 driver = Cariboulite label = CaribouLite S1G[ab0e17a0] name = CaribouLite RPI Hat serial = ab0e17a0 uuid = 457dca56-0d60-41c2-9d9a-83b72f69af2d vendor = CaribouLabs LTD version = 0x0001

What i found out: I need to run pi@caribu-sdr:~ $ sudo SoapySDRServer --bind ######################################################

When i ignore the error i can select two sdr inputs: image From there the errors stay and it does not work at least i can;t get a working waterfall. image

As sound test youtube gives sound over hdmi When i make the output to HDMI the sound does work

The S1G device you selected is limited to certain frequency ranges. Your hardware interface says you are trying to tune at 400KHz which is out of range for S1G. Can try 400Mhz which is just in range, better select the HiF 6GHz interface with a frequency above 1Mhz, preferable above 30MHz until things are working.

Thanks for your comment, i tried it but seems still to fail, i am also not able to get the waterfall working, and or sound out of it... Getting the whole working seems a process of hard working and trying:-(

Edit: Hours later digging through the build automation scripts and debug logs, I got things mostly working, see details in issue #66.

Original message: I have been trying on a Pi4B a few SDR apps, still looking for success. I can get RTLSDR direct and sometimes via SoapySDRServer working, or SDRpp Server, but when selecting CaribouLite radios I get no data transferred, usually get error messages on the server side saying SMI timed out. Tried CubicSR, SDR++, now building SDRAngel. The cariboulite test apps work fine as does SDRUtil. Many library build variations tried. So close, but not quite. So you are not alone :-). It will take some time to work out the finer points.
