How do I get Spektrum working on a Raspberry Pi 4?

LucidEye commented 3 years ago

I followed your instructions for "installing" Spektrum on my new Raspberry Pi 4 running a fresh install of the most recent RaspberryOS (January 11th 2021 Release, Kernel version: 5.4)
When i try to install libusb I get "libusb-1.0-0-dev is already the newest version (2:1.0.22-2)" When I "launch the software" by double clicking on the "spektrum" file in the folder where I unpacked it, nothing happens, the app does not open.

I wish i had more info to give you, if there is some kind of log file somewhere I could send you to help troubleshoot this problem please let me know where it is and I will be happy to get it to you.

It would be extremely helpful to the entire SDR community if we could get spektrum to run on the raspberry pi 4.

Thank you :-)

Hi,

this will be a bit more complicated - my version of librtlsdr will need to be rebuilt and also the processing part will need to be rebuilt

i don't have Pi4 now, what architecture is used now commonly as a target on Pi4? aarch64? Or is it still common to run 32bit system on the pi?

Hi!

I'm also trying to run this on a raspberry pi4. Maybe this helps:
