G2 no display...I broke P2APP

[WM7C]

I wanted to enable SSH and VNC, and I changed the password. Also, I updated the OS. I guess this broke p2app since Thetis no longer sees the SDR. I'm okay with following directions, but not sure what to troubleshoot. I tried a few things I read here, but still get this error from Thetis. I'll keep searching around, mean while, no radio since I want to use Thetis. I see there is an image I can download and may try that on a new card. I would like to just fix p2app though without opening up the radio.

I tried starting p2app and get this.

Any ideas?

Still reading the manual and hoping I can get it working.

Hi,

See this link: https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=4778&fbclid=IwAR0K3dSMc6tti_u0s9mEIHFpoFt5rXDCTunR_-AYCwnkS2q-IY64ldYgemg

Since the XDMA driver is kernel dependent you will need to rebuild it.

Thank you very much Tony. That did in fact resolve my issue. I did not realize that updating Raspbian would cause this. Following this and a reboot seems to have fixed my radio.

The issue here is: the operating system kernel has been updated, and the device driver now needs to be recompiled to match. The good news is it only needs a recompile, not patching. This seems to be unavoidable with linux unless someone can tell me how to avoid it otherwise!

open a command window and type:

cd ~/github/Saturn/linuxdriver/xdma
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe xdma


if there are no error messages, it is now fixed. You can check by using your file browser to visit the /dev folder. It should now include /dev/xdma and some similar names that weren't there before.
