Hi Michel, Evariste F5OEO just compiled the new "2408" firmware with the changes on the LO transverter that i developed tonight.

Thanks Evariste!

http://firmware.hackhamradio.com/alpha/

I have tested the new 2408 version regarding this change and it works fine

There is still a bug in the version indication but if you want you can fix it by hand and save

Now available to everyone without patch

Your Pluto is connected via usb or ethernet ?

if it is via ethernet you simply have to upgrade the new firmware with your web brouwser .....

Hello Chris

It is connected via Ethernet with a USB to Ethernet adaptor, I know I can update the DATV firmware via the browser page pluto.php, but I had assumed, possibly wrongly, that to do an upgrade from 0.31 to 0.32 I needed to do it via the USB disk method?

This was down to needing to transfer the files boot.dfu, boot.frm, Pluto.dfu, uboot-env.dfu and the version 0.32 pluto.frm which then meant the DATV firmware was overwritten and pluto.php web page was no longer there?

Cheers

Hi Adrian, if you want to update the firmware manually via command line SSH retrieving the update via internet you can send this commands:

-For those who do not have the USB / Ethernet adapter, they must first give this command and enable connection sharing on their pc:
# route add default gw 192.168.2.10 usb0

See my guide: How to connect Adalm Pluto to the Internet without using the USB / Ethernet adapter

-If you have the USB / Ethernet adapter you can start from here:

# cd /www/uploaded_files/

# wget http://firmware.hackhamradio.com/alpha/pluto.frm
Connecting to firmware.hackhamradio.com (86.239.248.221:80)

pluto.frm 100% |********************************| 26.7M 0:00:00 ETA

#

# /root/update_frm_reboot.sh /www/uploaded_files/pluto.frm

So the Pluto start update procedure

upgrade from 0.31 to 0.32

Is that even necessary, and if so, what are the benefits?

73´s de Robert ....

F5OEO · Aug 24th 2020

Upgrade from 0.31 to 0.32 official analog device firmware is not necessary when you flash the datv firmware !

Hello Adrian, i confirm that the new firmware version of Evariste is based on the 0.32 of Adalm and therefore has several advantages and new commands including the possibility of having a partition to statically write files, in this way it is possible to make changes without recompiling the firmware entirely.
I will be happy to meet you in DATV, i think soon

73

Roberto IS0GRB

Hello Evariste

I was going from the comments of Roberto above in this thread suggesting that the new firmware was based on 0.32? Hence, I was probably wrong in thinking that the firmware would require it?

Roberto thanks for the SSH commands I will write these in my book so I have them for reference.

Cheers

Bonjour Roberto,

With the 2408 version, I especially appreciate two functions :

- the spectrum display with the "Click" to set the channel frequency

- the Transverter LO option

As the spectrum display was developed before the Transverter LO, unfortunately the "Click" function doesn't take into account the Transverter LO option if used.

A wish for the next version.

73 qro de michel, hb9dug

IS0GRB · Aug 25th 2020

Hi Michel the click functionality at the base of the spectrum was not developed directly by me but by F5UII, which i saw corrected yesterday and i think it will be fixed in the next release.

For the transverter LO i am pleased, it is certainly convenient to have the possibility to insert also a frequency not in the list.

Thank you for the report

Good afternoon, Evariste has just compiled the new " 2708 " alpha version.

Here are the implementations you will find:

1- Fixed the display of the firmware version, now it is taken from a system file if errors ( Fix by IS0GRB )

2- Added the drop-down menu on the Symbol Rate setting ( IK8XLD's request ) in order to quickly select a change of SR while remaining in the same frequency, it is always possible to insert different SRs ( Add by IS0GRB )

3- Fixed the click bug to set the frequency at the base of the spectrum, now it takes into account any transverter frequency set ( Fix by F5UII )

I always remember that it is an alpha version and as such subject to continuous implementations and corrections, however with Evariste we have tested it several times and it works correctly.

If you notice any anomalies please let us know.

tnx all, running ...

Roberto, it would be great if it was possible to to set the power slider below the PTT button line during the next updates....

The power slider is one of the importent contents after the PTT button, and has to be always visible with the spectrum in a small window.

thanks and 73´s

Hi Robert could it be okay?

See the attach

DD4YR · Aug 27th 2020

yeeeees this would be great!

G0MJW · Aug 27th 2020

I don't suppose a PTT in the analysis window is possible?

Ok Robert i send you the patch that you can insert through the pluto.php page where you upload the firmware, after rebooting you will have the new page.

The version 2708 must be installed first.

Now i send the change to Evariste to insert it in the next compilation

Hi Michael i did not understand the question

G0MJW · Aug 27th 2020

Have a PTT in the page where you see the analysis of the TS. Once set up that's where you want to be - or even have the analysis on the same page as the settings that influence it.
