why not share RPI4 full image that "just works"?

[bieganski]

hello. i would like to share my thoughts and suggestions.

the Radioberry project itself is amazing. unfortunately though, i found many issues when trying to build it. namely:

• pihpsdr_install.sh and friends always download newest version of repositories.
• seemingly newest raspberry pi OS (with newest kernel) is assumed. it's a pain to find a working one, and the fact that it is shipped in few configurations (32bit, 64bit) does not help.

personally i know at least one person that abandoned the project (after actually buying hardware!) since they were not familiar with linux at all, and installation process was way too complicated.

i guess that most people (like i do) don't care what version of Linux runs under the hood. people want stuff that "just works". most of those RPIs won't be connected to internet, so security probably is not a big concern.

why not make a working image public, so that anyone can just flash SD card with it and be happy with running Radioberry?

The radioberry is not a project you should start when you want a finished product.

I started the project for myself. Decided to publish everything i have learned. Iam not selling anything, not making any money with it. it is all open soft and hardware.

So if you feel the urge to have an image please do!

Using a non linux solution... look to the radioberry juice.

Iam looking forward to try the image.

Instructions are missing the libfftw3-dev dependency.

Also it fails when compiling pihpsdr because it does not find wdsp.h. Just cd to wdsp directory and do "sudo make install" thus the include gets installed. cd back to the root folder and do "make -j$(nproc)" again then it will compile successfully.

This is when you follow the readme... but one should use the scripts instead and it works.
