Sdrpp brown I had to compile and package as at the time it wasn’t in any other repo. I haven’t checked yet but if it is precompiled now, I can just test it and put it in my repo if it’s not in the default repos now.
When I added it originally you had to compile it yourself, that’s why I package it.

@Rex @snipeytje Aaah, noted. That makes sense.
Yea, the Stable release was made the 8th of May but became a bit confuzzled since the attached “source code.zip” is dated from 2023 
.
One of the last updates seems to have broken meshtasticd on my AIO v1 for me. It’s not starting anymore and systemstl status meshtasticd returns “Result: start-limit-hit”.
Does anyone have similar issues? I have been updating regularly the last couple of weeks and it was working a few days ago. The only other change I made was installing the QMK firmware.
I’ve run into that with the last kernel update (to the v7 kernel).
I had this when I was trying to test Meshcore and Meshtastic (not at the same time).
Turned out to be Tar1090 that starts and locks the SDR (or GPS) which made the Meshtastic service fail to detect one of the devices.Found this in journalctl -fTry checking if Tar1090 or readsb services are running and if so, either stop or disable them.
systemctl status tar1090
systemctl status readsbMight need to off-then-on the GPS afterwards before Meshtastic can run.
NVM: I was then using the old kernel, but above all, I am using AIOv2.

Good morning all, I saw where someone else already figured this out, but their solve didn’t seem to work for me.
Using Rex’s dragon image, Lora shows enabled and idle, but when trying to use it in WDGWars, it says to enable Lora (while showing it as enabled and idle). I have not tried using Meshtastic yet, when I get time away from work later today I will. I’ve reached out for help in the WDGWars discord, but adding:
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=spi1-1cs
in the pi5 portion of the config file just gives me a backlit black screen. deleting those two lines returns me to previous functionality. I also tried just the overlay line and just the spi=on line, with same results for those as well.

Apologies, more information would probably help.
HG AIO v2 board
cm5
dragon os
Here’s what is in the config file right now:
[pi5]
dtoverlay=spi0-0cs
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf85063a,i2c_csi_dsi0
dtparam=rtc=off
#dtoverlay=clockworkpi-devterm-cm5
dtoverlay=clockworkpi-uconsole-cm5
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi5,cma-384
dtparam=uart0
dtparam=pciex1
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
Also, meshtasticd shows unable to locate Lora 1262 module, so there’s a disconnect somewhere…

please who some tell me the function of the part marked in red on the AIO board?
It accidentally broke off during assembly, though the SDR unit is still working.
我上次也遇到这个问题，售后说：这是sdr有关，在直采时候才用到。
我也不懂。

目前，我会先按原样使用，并进行各种测试，看看是否会出现问题。
add gpiochip: 15 to your meshtasticd config file in the lora section
Please tell me what I did wrong here :
I had Trixie from https://images.ak-rex.com/ installed on a SD card on my CM4 and sudo apt install hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board worked immediately there.
Now I have just switched to a CM5 and installed the same image, Trixie from @Rex on the eMMC.
It boots perfectly well, I can see the ak-rex.list in my sources.list. I can also sudo apt update without issue.
But for some reason the package list in /var/lib/apt/lists/raw.githubusercontent.com_ak-rex_akrex-arm-repo_main_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-arm64_Packages is empty. Its size is precisely 0. (it should contain a list of the available packages)
And sure enough, as a consequence, when I try to sudo apt install hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-boardI get Error: Unable to locate package hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board
Any idea how I can debug that ?
Thanks.

have you tried to sudo apt clean && sudo apt update that will clean out the cache.
Thanks very much @Rex I had never thought about the cache !
If it helps anybody else in the future : It did not work as is. But then I removed the sources from Rex (in sources.list.d), did another sudo apt clean and then restored the sources and did the sudo apt update.
That’s when it actually downloaded the packages list and apt was finally able to find hackergadgets-uconsole-aio-board.

I’m having issues with connecting to Meshtastic, I have had it connected in the past but it’s now not sending messages & has a red highlight on messages I send. What am I doing wrong?
