Ryde Software Update

Post by G8GKQ » Sat Aug 12, 2023 11:28 am

I have just published a Ryde software update (202308110) which introduces an optional "watchdog" function for the Ryde when it is being used as a DVB-S/S2 Receiver ONLY.

The watchdog will not work correctly if is enabled and you try to receive streams or DVB-T (it detects that LongMynd isn't running and activates the watchdog which will restart the receiver).

The watchdog is intended to be used to improve the reliability of "unattended" QO-100 scanning receiving consoles similar to the one in use at the NRC (Bletchley Park). The functionality is described here https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Ryde_Watchdog.

Most users should have no reason to load this software update.
