That’s very strange.

I have had the latest master running on my Pi4/Bookworm for a few hours now, with regular tuning of the RC28 and it hasn’t crashed once. I wonder what’s different in your environment?

23

You don’t mention what radio you are connecting to (and which method of connection)

24

Yes. strange!
I started wit a brand new sd card and installed Bookworm on it, a few weeks ago. Then I installed wfview 2.03, and later CQRLOG and WSJT-X. The Pi 4 is a few years old. I am using a USGREEN usb audio card for the audio in/out. Dual screens. Besides this no special software or hardware. I have not noticed any problems when touching usb cables or the Pi itself.

Wfview seems to be stable over several days connected to the server and radio, as long as the RC-28 is not connected. I have changed the usb cable to the RC-28 for good measure.

25

But all sorts of problems when starting the app with the RC-28 connected, sometimes the app does not start at all, or it crashes shortly thereafter. Or I try to start without having the RC-28 usb connected. But when connecting the RC-28, often there is an immediate crash, or the wfview does not take any commands from the RC-28, before I have programmed it with the external page. So there are various problems connected to the RC-28.

26

I think the problems I have with the client disconnecting or staring without sound or waterfall after reconnecting to the server, or the server Pi locking up and requiring a reboot of the server PI, are not related at all to the RC-28. This seems to be totally separate problem. Perhaps at the server?

27

If you think I might have a problem with my client Pi, I can exchange that. Or disconnect the external usb audio card, or any other external device as mouse or keyboard. or the extra screen, uif that could give any clues. I could also do a complete new install on a new SD-card, and another Pi, if that would make the issue move forward.

28

The radio is a Icom 7300, usb connected to the server Pi. The networc connection is ethernet cable to a well regarded router (the Edgemax), and the fiber. On the client side also fiber, the Edgemax router and ethernet cable to the client Pi.

29

Or could it be a hardware fault of my RC-28? I did not think about that at first, as that kind of devices usually work as the should or not at all. But everything is possible, of course.

But the fact that it worked without crashes on the 1.62 version makes that less likely, perhaps.

30

I suspect it is something to do with the hot-plug detection of the RC-28 in Linux. I was able to make wfview crash on my Pi by plugging/unplugging the RC28, but in Windows it doesn’t crash.

I will have to try a debug build on Linux and see if I can diagnose exactly what is causing the crash.

31

Thats a step forward! I will make do without the RC-28 for the time being.
