Here is just a short list of improvements available from my fork:

I/Q issue resolved (swap for HiF is now done at no extra cost)
logging to a remote machine
install script now runs through on a vanilla Lite 64bit install (Pi3B, Pi4B except for potential final config.txt adjustments)

While we wait installation happens as follows (assuming git is available):

make sure you have a bit more than the default 100MB swap space available
it's also recommended to update the system to the latest revision to avoid version conflicts¹
my only modifications to /boot/config.txt were adding overlays to disable wifi and bt²

$ mkdir workspace && cd workspace
$ git clone https://github.com/konimaru/cariboulite.git
$ cd cariboulite

$ # optional step for remote logging
$ export ZF_LOG_USE_CONFIG_HEADER=1

$ # actual installation
$ ./install.sh

$ # optionally enable and start SoapySDRServer
$ sudo systemctl enable SoapySDRServer.service
$ sudo systemctl start SoapySDRServer.service

Please let me know about any issues.

remote_logger.zip

¹)

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt -y upgrade

²)

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-bt

I get only noize and when i transmit the waterfall does not show the transmission at the right freq. this to is openwebrx, it could be a config error in openwebrx. will test also on the pi itselve.

edegraaff Mar 20, 2023

ok, i managed to recieve a radio station at 96199893 hz with qubicSDR , it is still way under the expextations, but this is the first working solution

kbthomas59 Mar 21, 2023

Does it receive at the expected frequency? I see only noise across the FM broadcast band when using either channel (with appropriate antenna).

Here is just a short list of improvements available from my fork:

I/Q issue resolved (swap for HiF is now done at no extra cost)

logging to a remote machine

install script now runs through on a vanilla Lite 64bit install (Pi3B, except for potential final config.txt issues)

While we wait installation happens as follows (assuming git is available):
$ mkdir project && cd project
$ git clone https://github.com/konimaru/cariboulite.git
$ cd cariboulite

$ # optional step for remote logging
$ export ZF_LOG_USE_CONFIG_HEADER=1

$ # actual installation
$ ./install.sh

$ # optionally enable and start SoapySDRServer
$ sudo systemctl enable SoapySDRServer.service
$ sudo systemctl start SoapySDRServer.service
Please let me know about any issues.

See my report, i had today the first session that showd some sound and a waterfall... for Soapy on the OpnenWebRX i need to add the Device identifier to be able to select S1g or Hif port otherwise it uses the wrong port. i am not yet impressed but this is the first moment in weeks i had an audio stream :-)

could you please post the whole command for SoapySDR? Never know which parameter are really needed and which one is optional. And it seems that different applications requiring different soapy parameter.

Just had another go with my setup. Beefy power supply, Gigabit adapter over USB etc. Then I ran CubicSDR on a remote machine (initially with CS8, leftover from last run). Everything as expected, clear audio etc. Switched back to CS16, audio garbled general sluggishness until I realised that my remote machine was using WLAN only (100Mbit). OK, wired up properly things didn't improve, kernel message log filled up with unwelcome¹ messages so it seemed easier to reboot the Pi. After that perfect audio again (now with CS16).
Seems to me there are situation when the driver is so messed up that it can't recover easily/at all. OTOH, when all other conditions are met (enough power, proper network connection etc) things just work.

¹) e.g. reader_thread return illegal count = 0, DMA bounce timed out

A new test branch is available called timeout (see top post). I more or less re-instated the reference code and removed certain timeouts for the SMI transfer programming. This appears far more stable than anything before (fingers crossed). Next on my list is the bounce timeout issue (while I still get it occasionally it doesn't seem to affect general operation).

Where is the "timeout" you referred to?

konimaru Aug 8, 2023
Author

As I said, I removed them. I compared the section of SMI code with the reference code (kernel/ref/bcm2835_smi.c) and adjusted the former. This made things more stable for me (at the time).

rush0815 Sep 19, 2023

Did you merged the timout branch into main? I can not find it anymore

konimaru Sep 19, 2023

Yes, timeout has been merged a while ago. main has all my changes in it.

For the moment, yes. Live gets in the way :)

ImDroided Mar 29, 2023

Lol I hear that I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I think your on to something with the timeouts because I couldn't get a few apps to work until I installed that fork.

Hi,
Installed Cariboulite on a Pi4B (flawless), installed SDR++, started "sudo sdrpp -s" and SDR++ on my Imac.
I can only select 4 MHz samplerate. It's the only one.
I also have all things running on a Pi3B+, where my collection of samplerates is from 4, 2, 1 and so on.

What can I do?

Which Pi version did you use?
Which image version did you use ? 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite ?

FWIW:

Pi3B: bullseye (11), kernel 6.1.21-v8+, April 3rd 2023
Pi4B: bullseye (11), kernel 6.1.21-v8+, April 3rd 2023

Both installed from the lite image.

Your fork was a great help! Working great on a 3B+, along side CubicSDR. Offers connections to my remote gqrx and CubicSDR. The only unresolved issue for me is once a Connection is made, either locally (CubicSDR) or remotely the Cariboulite HAT starts up in transmit mode. I've not found a way to change this. I'm guessing it's on the server side in a config file....somewhere

Could someone, who got that thing working, provide an Os image?
Many people are spending more time to get that f**** HAT working than the actual original developer. Never seen a worse support on a project :-(
