Hardware Issue Question

Open siffland opened this issue 2 years ago • 32 comments

I just got my Caribou Lite (6GHZ R2.8) from mouser. I am having issues getting it working. I just want to verify that there should be no components soldered in the "MXR IN" box on the top of the unit and nothing soldered in on the MIXER part of the unit on the bottom (All picture I see have these fully populated). I know it went through a lot of hardware revisions.

I am probably just not setting up the software correctly but want to make sure I am not chasing my tail and just didn't get an unfinished piece of hardware.

Thanks, Sean

@siffland - curious what issue you are having? I also am having a problem. I can't get my raspberry pi 4 to boot when the Caribou Lite is connected. I get lights on the Caribou Lite and the pi rainbow splash screen but then it just stays dark. As soon as I remove the hat it boots as normal. I also have the 7" pi display so I don't know if that is part of the issue. I'm going to try with a pi 3 and external hdmi display later

@siffland that sounds like what my raspberry pi 4 was doing as well. It was an older image that I had just ran updates on. I tried a pre-made image for SDR and that appears to at least boot.

https://github.com/luigifcruz/pisdr-image

Still the same as everyone else though with not having a working setup, but nice having the SDR++ pre-compiled though after the driver starts working.

OK, on a fresh card with PiSDR imaged i was able to get get the software compiled with the following, after the final reboot the smi_stream_dev module loads (can verify with dmesg). I2C can actually see the device. Have not had a chance to test actually receiving with the actual hardware yet.

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

echo "dtparam=i2c_vc=on" | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt

reboot

mkdir ~/projects
cd ~/projects
git clone https://github.com/cariboulabs/cariboulite
cd cariboulite
git checkout remotes/origin/develop_R1

sed -i 's/add_subdirectory(src\/iir EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)/add_subdirectory(src\/iir)/g' software/libcariboulite/CMakeLists.txt

sudo ./install.sh

sudo cp /home/pi/projects/cariboulite/software/libcariboulite/src/caribou_smi/kernel/build/smi_stream_dev.ko /lib/modules/5.15.84-v8+/kernel/drivers/misc/

sudo depmod

reboot

i2cdetect -y 2

I edited the above and added the i2cdetect -y 2, at least on a pi zero 2 that was the command

Back to my original question are the MXR IN and MIXER area on the bottom and top of the board supposed to be blank with no components?

There are two versions of the board, the "full" one, and the Sub-GHz one. You may have the "S1G" version of it.

I'm having no luck. I tried following @siffland 's instructions and it build with no errors, but I got this:

(Your sed didn't work, so I edited the "EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL" out of that file by hand.)

RobertSwirsky avatar Feb 09 '23 22:02 RobertSwirsky

I get the same error with SoapySDR.

I fixed the sed command, it did work, I failed to use the code block and it displayed incorrectly. Fixing it now.

Well that is unfortunate that I appear to have the S1G since i paid for the full one.

Even after getting it compiled i am still having issues

Is that empty spot to the left what would indicate getting the S1G version? I should have gotten the full version as well.

So this is interesting, after compiling and trying to run the cariboulite_app, i get the above error. However if i execute

i2cdetect -y 2

then

sudo build/cariboulite_app

The cariboulite_app runs fine. Soapy still cannot find device. I must be missing something in my config.txt to initialize the device.

Those empty 12 pads all the way on the left? That's correct. Those are additional connections for the FPGA in case you want some custom I/O for it. Your board should have come with a header you can solder for those pads.

Your board looks exactly like mine. (Not that i've been able to get mine to do anything!)

No I mean the entire MXR IN section, and the MIXER on the bottom

board top

siffland avatar Feb 09 '23 23:02 siffland

No, that's not right @siffland! Look at the schematics. It's either an S1G only board, or a production error!

RobertSwirsky avatar Feb 09 '23 23:02 RobertSwirsky

I have two of the 6 Ghz version and both are the same as yours. I've gotten pretty much as far as you have, cariboulite_app works, but nothing else.

@siffland Just tried it again. Multiple attempts, you've pulled ahead in getting things to work. 👍
How did you stop the read? I just "ctl-c", but it drops me out of the app, as well.
Also tried 'soft reset'. Tried multiple times of Ch2 and Ch1, no change.

blacktigersoftware avatar Feb 10 '23 03:02 blacktigersoftware

@siffland hello and sorry for the late reply. indeed - this is the ISM board. not 6G. I suppose you ordered the 6G and if so, you are not alone. A few additional supporters received the wrong board. If you still have the package, I would love you to make its snapshot and send it to me here so that I will be able to check where the mistake happened (production facility? packing? mouser fulfillment?)

Edit: @siffland - also please send me you order number so that I will post and inquiry for you in Mouser you can send it to me: [email protected]

Thank you and I aplogize.

meexmachina avatar Feb 10 '23 07:02 meexmachina

@meexmachina - I assume this goes for everybody? I ordered two 6 Ghz boards and it looks just like @siffland .

blacktigersoftware avatar Feb 10 '23 07:02 blacktigersoftware

I'm waiting for cs response on that. It is a weird situation indeed

meexmachina avatar Feb 10 '23 08:02 meexmachina

Can you send me your order number? I will pass to cs And I would appreciate if you could check the label on the antistatic bag. Is the an ISM writing? I want to understand where the error occured.

meexmachina avatar Feb 10 '23 09:02 meexmachina

I e-mailed these pics but will post here as well. The static bag does say 2.4GHz, the Mouser bag 6G. I only read the Mouser bag and then like a kid at Christmas i opened the static bag and began playing.

mouser_bag static_bag

siffland avatar Feb 10 '23 13:02 siffland

Both my static bags say 6 Ghz.

blacktigersoftware avatar Feb 10 '23 18:02 blacktigersoftware

@siffland - Thanks for all your effort so far. I can now get the app running and it seems to work thanks to you. Stinks that it looks like Mouser messed up your order but hopefully it gets corrected soon. I will watch this thread closely as I am eager to get this recognized by Soapy

slesto avatar Feb 10 '23 19:02 slesto

I don'tn know what I'm doing, but if I do a sudo killall SoapySDRServer, then sudo SDRUtil --find it finds the both radios, then I can do a sudo SoapySDRServer --bind and it will let SDR++ see the soapy devices, the terminal from soapysrd shows that it can modify the frequency, and choose each radio, but I get no waterfall, sound, or any other indication that its working. Don't know why I have to run with sudo, except that the new raspian installs don't use the user pi anymore. I also copied the soapycariboulite.so to the soapysdr modules folder before it would work. Don't know if any of this helps or if I'm a mile behind you all.

wrju333 avatar Feb 15 '23 03:02 wrju333

It appears that I also got a Caribou ISM (2.4GHz) in a 6G outer bag. Order 149116 was for a 6GHz.

Please let me know how this is going to be addressed. Michael

In the SDR++ display, go to the "sink" tab and select None. Until I did that I didn't see a waterfall either. After that I did. Michael

Has anyone who received the wrong board heard anything about a resolution?

rhammock1 avatar Mar 13 '23 16:03 rhammock1

I received the wrong board and have heard nothing since they confirmed in this issue that wrong boards went out.

siffland avatar Mar 13 '23 16:03 siffland

I contacted Crowd supply directly through a web support inquiry on 2/23. It appears that my replacement will be delivered tomorrow.

@siffland Just tried it again. Multiple attempts, you've pulled ahead in getting things to work. 👍 How did you stop the read? I just "ctl-c", but it drops me out of the app, as well. Also tried 'soft reset'. Tried multiple times of Ch2 and Ch1, no change.

Type 99, hit enter, the sampling will stop and drop back to the menu.
