@SpaceCadet1249 The build uses the same code as the repo, there's nothing changed. Are you able to try the old version see if the Rig Control works in your specific setup ? If not then it's not supported by cubic sdr and probably need support from the maintainer. And probably you need to do some troubleshooting first like debugging what's coming out from serial and try with different baud rate see if that's help.

And it appears @mg1011 can use rig control and has no problem.

@radito This is the first build that I could get to run on my MacBook M2, since all the others crashed on startup. I believe there's some kind of problem with the SoapySDR library since its reception is very weak compared to SDRconnect. For instance WWV on 15mhz tonight (on the Yaesu) was 10 points above S9, yet I could not even hear it using CubicSDR. And every time I start the CubicSDR I must DELET the config file in order to start the SDRplay box. It's not a counterfeit, but the real RSP1b device. I'm sorry, but I'm not a programmer and wouldn't know how to debug the serial port. I'm using 9600 baud N81. Matching settings on my Yaesu FTDX-1200. If I should be looking at another thread for this, please point me to it. thanks

@cts409

For the build i'm including the library from the official SDRPlay website the version is SDRplayAPI-macos-installer-universal-3.14.0.pkg

From your case it seems the soapySDR hasn't detected the SDR and probably the the clone is not supported by this API ? I'm not so sure can you try this specific api version in sonoma and do the probe again ?

Works. Thanks!

@cts409 If you're interested, here's a short video of SDRplay trying to initialize. Bear in mind it tries to come up with the RF frequency set to zero. I have tried setting it to, say 15Mhz before initializing, but get the same results. To exit the program at this point, I have to do a Forced quit. The only way I can get it to initialize is to blow away the config.xml file AND unplug and replug the SDRplay USB cable. Then it can initialize again. First is a picture where you can see the SDRplay is actually detected. Then next there's the video. If you unmute the speaker you can hear my narration.

@cts409 @radito @mg1011 When I finally found a USB > UART cable that worked, all these other problems went away. For details on which two cables I've found that work, and why, please see #1028 I've been using CubicSDR version 0.2.8-4-Darwin-Arm64 RELIABLY for over a week now. Thanks!

@sidewinder666

can you try

brew install soapysdr soapyrtlsdr

see if that helps ?

This solved the issue for me.

jforge commented 1 month ago

@radito Thanks for all the effort to make something available for ARM64.

I've followed so far on a Apple M3 Pro with Sonoma 14.5, but had no final success. Is there some further advice?

The CubicSDR.0.2.8-aarch64.dmg works using Open manually as described

I first had no success with SoapySDRUtil --probe but doing brew install soapysdr soapyrtlsdr lists my device (I have a Nooelec NESDR SMArTee v2:

- Still, there is no such SDR device, if I start the application
