CubicSDR freezes with RSP2 after starting device #860

Installation problem with CubicSDR and RSP2 device

CubicSDR freezes after starting device. Problem looks like issue #735.

Here is what I did, starting from installation guide from https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/wiki/Build-Linux

Everything OK so far.

Note: modules both from debian testing and locally installed. could that be a problem?

Start Cubicsdr. Select SDRplay device which is properly recognized: SDRplay Dev0 RSP2 1710046220

Everything looks ok until starting the device from Menu -> File -> Start/Stop Device. After a few seconds Cubicsdr freezes completely with the following message in the console: ERROR: thread '9SDRThread' has not terminated in time ! (> 2000 ms)

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance, Sietse Achterop

I've experienced a similar case on Windows x64 where the UI freezes but the audio continues to run. Once I upgraded to Wxwidgets 3.14, the problem desappeared.

However :

Your device is already active after you select it in the initial Device window. Going to the Menu again actually stops it.

We have countless examples of RSPs working great on Linux, for instance here: https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDRPlay3/issues/23 but both CubicSDR and SoapySDRPlay must be built from master.

In particular, you now need SDR API v3+ for the latest and greatest SoapySDRPlay module.

And Cubic must be built with the latest wxWidgets, i.e v3.14 at the time of writing.
