LibreSDR and tezuka firmware - Help Needed

Post by G8GKQ » Wed Sep 24, 2025 3:19 pm

Hi

I'm investigating whether I can update the Portsdown to support transmissions from the LibreSDR with tezuka firmware. I seem to have hit a block, but must be doing something wrong:

The LibreSDR is flashed with tezuka-0.1.9; the attached screenshot from the Windows MQTT explorer shows that this is functioning.

I then plug the LibreSDR into a Raspberry Pi with mosquitto software loaded, and send the command:

Code: Select all

mosquitto_pub -t 'cmd/pluto/system/call' -m g8gkq -h 192.168.5.1

Note that I have modified config.txt to put my Pluto at 192.168.5.1 to avoid a conflict with my main LAN.

I can then run

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mosquitto_sub -t "state/tx/frequency"  -h 192.168.5.1
2450000000
2450000000
which successfully returns the default frequency.

My problem is that I cannot change that frequency or any of the other parameters. The command that I am using is:

Code: Select all

mosquitto_pub -t 'cmd/pluto/g8gkq/tx/frequency' -m 437000000 -h 192.168.5.1
but it has no effect.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Dave, G8GKQ

Can't you just treat it as a Pluto and use that API instead? (libiio)

No, because the Portsdown software used Evariste's old onboard rtmp to DVB encoder in the old Pluto software that is not included in the any of the recent builds.
