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

Re: Eureka!!!! She works perfectly!!
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??

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

Hi Mike,
I am powering through the Pi not the 12 volts, but I don't think that makes any difference as long as the power supply is not being maxed out. I have tried using the 12 volts in the past. Frank - K0FEI

Thanks to John and Bryan and many others the Draws Hat is outstanding! I removed pin six on one end of the mini 6 Din cable and the lost audio returned as they said it would!!! Radio is an 817 which now works perfectly on Fldigi, WSJTX, and JS8CALL.
Thanks ! Mike. WF8O

I promise to do a clean install on Buster, no scripts, to documents what it is I did to get the sound card detected. Just to confirm with everyone that is chiming in right now that hasn't got it working, you are powering the device through the 12-volt plug, not through the raspberry Pi, correct? sorry to ask such a basic question but there's been so many emails going back and forth, best to be certain. The steps to get it to be recognized we're not complicated but there is something missing that I just can't remember right now. 73 Mike VE7WV

Hi Corky, The current "buster" seems to work fine at my place with the N7NIX script. I find clean installs work best, but Pi 4/Buster are still leading edge.

Noticed kernel 4.19 in his output. When I updated my Beta13
using the supplied scripts the kernel upgraded to a 4.19 version
and then nothing worked. That may be a clue.

I am not sure if this is still the case as the latest Buster image may include the updated kernel. When I did this on an R-Pi 3B+, I needed to run rpi-update to get the latest kernel and once that was done and the changes made to /boot/config.txt everything worked fine.
