I am using the card with the GPS antenna on what I would consider the back. The GPS antenna antenna is on the same side as the power. Thanks, Jonathan

Stretch is the best path for Pi 3 and Pi 2. If you have a Pi 4, you will need to use Buster and the edit that Basil lists. Now that the DRAWS™ support is directly in the Buster kernel, it is configuration to activate it. We may put out some images specific to some application groupings on top of Buster with DRAWS™, but they will start on top of Buster. Pi 4 is still leading edge at this point.

Hi Jonathan,
Are you using the hat with the gps antenna on the side with the sockets or on the back of the card? Thanks Frank - K0FEI

If you use a Raspbian image & add these lines at bottom of your /boot/config.txt file: dtoverlay=draws,alsaname=udrc force_turbo=1 DRAWS drivers will be running & your DRAWS hat will be recognized. There is no upgrade path from draws_image13 which uses Debian stretch to the latest Raspbian distribution which used Debian buster. There will be a new image posted sometime after the Pacific Northwest Summer Gathering in the last part of September. In the mean time either use draws_image13 and don't do an upgrade or use the latest Raspbian image. /Basil n7nix Jonathan Visser via Groups.Io <n9tjx=yahoo.com@groups.io> writes:

You still need to load the overlay in /boot/config.txt but other than that, thanks to Anna, DRAWS is supported in the latest Linux kernel. As far as the DRAWS boot images are concerned they were provided as a convenience to provide a distribution that supports A LOT of commonly used amateur radio Linux software. It would be nice if all those programs were Debian packages but someone would have to step up & do that work. /Basil n7nix

SQL or COR is normally an open collator output from the Radio. Yaesu changed it to an I/O on some models. TNC Cable makers and some TNCs ship with cables that have pin 6 removed for this reason.

I was able to successfully see the sound card when completing the steps that Mr. Hays gave. The issue I have is going onto the n7nix scripts. After running the ./app_config.sh core, I no longer see the UDRC sound card. This was discovered late last night and I have not had a chance to troubleshoot these issues. For those having issues did you continue run that script before testing the sound card? I will try to troubleshoot soon and open a separate thread for the issues with the n7nix config script.

Why not just simply release a Debian "draws.deb" package that enables the DRAWS ? This is the standard way to do that sort of stuff on Debian/Raspbian and would avoid having to create full image instead of using the official Raspbian distribution...

Second that notion. There is a lot of what I consider unwanted fluff in this image since I don't care about packet radio. I would really like to have a clean image with only the necessary drivers and such and then I could install my own programs, and select the HF programs that I want to use. So perhaps a "minimal" image that gets the DRAWS functioning properly on the RPi??

sounds very much like my issue, only I have badly distored audio

Hi Mike, I can confirm that I am powering it via the 12 volt plug. When you write up your clean install, please could you specify which version of the buster image you use. I am using a Pi4 for all the steps. I initially was using the "Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software" version but to speed up the imaging of the sd card I tried ""Raspbian Buster with desktop" but with the smaller image I wasn't even seeing the built in sound device after completing all the steps. I will keep trying things as I am determined to get it working. 73 de Jonathan GI7KMC

Is this carefully explained somewhere? It seems a bit weird to have
to pull a pin from a data cable. (Or is it like the rPI 4 charging cables...) I removed pin six on one end of the mini 6 Din cable and the lost audio returned .. (on the FT 817)Bill

the radio works fine with my other rp4 and a signal link so I think the radio is ok. also install another cable still no clean audio. I lost Rob k6jus

Hi John,
I redid it using sudo apt upgrade - no difference. Maybe the best way forward, since you guys can get it to go, would be to just have you guys make a buster image ready to go for the Pi4 and Pi3 that we could download and flash to a SD. Thanks Frank - K0FEI
