I have picked 2 of these from inovota.com. This device is only 29.00 USD for the basic box. My goal is to add one of these to my mobile. The developer was a Ham around 2000. He is in the process of getting his Technician. In the meantime, David W1HKF added the FlDIGI Suite or at least the info to copy and paste the commands to load FLDIGI etc.
I’m a Noob and I’ve relied on KM4ACK Jason Build a Pi and his Build a Pi script to run Pat Winlink Etc.
I have no idea where or how to run WFview when it’s not an Intel Chip, a Raspberry PI Chip. Allwinner H6 quad-core A53
ARM v8 64-bit SoC, 1.7ghz is about a PI 3 speed/memory.
Mike is the developer and he really wants to get the Ham Radio Project to work. As mentioned. David W1HCJ posted cut and paste info in the Ham Radio Project area.

“no such file or directory” means the file isn’t there or has been typed wrong.
Can you use the “ls” command to list the directory contents, so that we can see if it is there or perhaps named a little differently? Maybe it was downloaded to another place?
Yeah I do not see the script having been downloaded.
Try watching this video I made a while back, it shows the process that I recommend following:
Basically, you must make sure to actually download the file. Some people have accidentally downloaded the HTML of the website, for example. You then have to be in the right folder, and make sure to type it all correctly when you do the chmod command. There are just a few steps really, but each has to be 100% correct for it to work.
It is possible that you will run into additional issues once you have the script running. But just let me know, I’m sure we can work through it.
Bullseye is the name of the current version of Debian Linux, which the Raspberry Pi OS is also based on. As long as it has a suitable apt repository then the commands should work. It doesn’t really matter what CPU architecture it is based on as the maintainer had done most of the hard work for you.
I now have a quadra too, and I can tell you that our standard install script works just fine on it. The only issue you may encounter is related to the CPU temperature when you are compiling (that is part of the script). You can change the script to use only one core and it’ll stay cool the entire time.
I have a quadra running my IC-718 for remote access with wfview. It seems to be running very well. My only complaint is the power supply, which is FULL of hash and cannot be used near an HF radio. Even setting it up in another room, I could receive the hash on my HF receiver in the garage. It’s a very bad supply and I have no idea why it has an “FCC” symbol on it.
If you need help installing it, let me know. It’s working quite well.
