Building a Ryde help please

Post by G1BVI » Sat Mar 27, 2021 9:54 am

I am building a Ryde
Connected Pi4 to the GPIO break out and that to display board (no Mini Tiuner connected)
On the Pi display it boots to root but there is an error
scd: cant read /home/Pi/RydeHandsets/definitions/virgin.yaml:no such file or directory.

I SSH into pi and type menu.
I go to option 6 and select a remote
I then go to option 7.
Whem I select option 7 a new window apears for a second and then vanishes.
I was expecting this to remain and then when I pressed the remote keys a number would be indicated.
Next I try option 9 followed by option 3 Stream BATC Stream Viewer
I was then expecting that if I select any of the streams it would be displayed on the Pi Monitor but this remains on the promt.
The SSH screen says it is displaying Gb3 XX stream however.
Pressing OK to clear this I navigate back to the main menu
I then try option 0 to Start the Ryde but it tells me on the SSH screen it cannot read the Ryde Handset file of the new handset I selected.
Whatever I do the pi display does not change from root.

I repeated the above with minitiouner connected but no LNB (my fuses have blown !!)

Has anyone any ideas or sugestions as to where I am going wrong and why this directory is missing from the build?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Nick

Further Info reading other threads the lock lED and Power LED are on all of the time
I gather from reading the forum that the lock LED should be flashing

Perhaps my Pi is broken

Hi Nick

It does appear that your SD Card does not have all the files that it should have.

The first thing that I would suggest is to try to force an update of the software from the ssh Menu (whilst connected to the internet). This will re-write most of the files that you need to the SD Card.

Other points: when locked the Lock light should be on steady. There is no "flashing" mode.

What display are you using?

Hi Dave
I did update it from the SSH menu and tried to reinstall from git hub.

LED is on all the time never seen it flash.
Shutdown pi abd it and the power LED are still on, ie power to the pi but shutdown.

I am powering into pi rather than to GPIO fuse at the moment

Display is HDMI input to a ProLite XB3070WQS by Ilyana

Will reformat card and start again

Thanks

Hi Dace
I followed this
https://github.com/BritishAmateurTelevi ... ryde-build
I now try a stand alone pi4 just with HDMI and an RJ45 connected.
During install there is a fatal error .. during the longmynd compilation.

Hmm might resort to ordering a SD card from BATC if I cannot resolve this next week!!

Hi Nick

Thanks for all the diagnostics. Sometimes these errors can be caused by 3rd-party library suppliers changing their code, so I did a test build from scratch this morning. There were no errors at all, so I think that all is well with the Ryde Build script and all its dependencies.

As to your exact problem, the error messages suggest that libusb-1.0-0-dev and libfftw3-dev were not correctly installed.

The most likely reason for this is a poor or filtered internet connection. However, it could also be a problem with the SD Card, a poor power supply (have you checked the supply voltage on the raspberry pi?) or (unlikely) a hardware fault with the Raspberry Pi.

I would suggest running the following lines from the command line:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y install git cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libfftw3-dev libjpeg-dev
and seeing if you get any error messages.

Please also check the Raspberry Pi supply voltage and let me know what type of SD Card you are using.

Hi Dave
tried two RPi 4 4Gig models
Supply voltage is 5.24V as measured on pi with pi on from a genuine Pi 3A supply used for portsdown and every other build..
Internet is straight from router into back of pi.
Only thing I have not tried to change is SD card
its a kootion 32GB card


will order another card and see what happens

I see that BATC card is 16GB so will get one of those but a scan disk or Kingston.

I hear of people having problems with some cards and to be honest have scoffed (sorry folks) as I have never before had any problems and have used many at work as well as at home.

Tried ading cmake etc. too with same result

Will order a fresh card and see what happens.

Out of interest during install it was failing many times to reach raspion.org or whatever the repository is called?

Anyway Thanks for checking Git Hub Its proven it has to be my hardware so Il let you know when I get it working Hi Hi.

and keep safe

OK. If it was failing many times to reach "raspbian.mirror.uk.sargasso.net" then that is your problem. So don't worry about the SD Card or the hardware - Just your internet connection.

It may be that your router is filtering that website out. Can you take off any child filters or similar restrictions? Who is your ISP?

So your internet connection is the problem. Nothing else.

ISP is Zen
Did not think I had ANY filtering enabled !!
Should have shown you the whole log Hi Hi

Its actually the third router in my mesh network !!
Will take it all down to master and Start from scratch

Thanks

Just realised that the Shack m/c is sitting behind my DNS
Something I built to cut out adds etc.
Will switch it out and try again
