Running RFSOM-BOX-GUI in PackRF with 2019_R2 Image

When I run the RFSOM-BOX-GUI with the 2016_R1 image, I can use the turn wheel to change the frequency and I can run the FFT plot. However, when I use the 2019_R2 image, I cannot change the frequency at all. I cannot run FFT plot either. 

How should I fix the issues?

We need to investigate this on your side.

We'll get back to you.

Hi Michael,

I replicated the error by doing the following:

1. Clone 2021-02-23-ADI-Kuiper.img into a 16 GB SD card.

2. Copied BOOT.BIN, devicetree.dtb from the PackRF and uImage into the boot directory.

3. Open the terminal via ethernet from PackRF.

4. Update both "sudo adi_update_tools.sh" and "sudo adi_update_boot.sh" to update to the latest version.

5. Following Travis' advice, manually build libiio from the v0.23 tag following the instructions from https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio/blob/master/README_BUILD.md

6. Install RFSOM-BOX-GUI from https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/rfsom-box-gui.git

7. Run rfsom-box-gui from PackRF's terminal.

Hope that the steps are helpful for finding where the problem is.

While installing rfsom-box-gui, here are the two errors I got:

Finally I can change or set the frequency by removing "-q" in the iio_attr command when the libiio version is 0.23. I removed "-q" in both launcher.json and landing.json.

By removing "-q" in landing.json, I can read the temperature again.
