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

Recently I received a pair of PackRFs. When I ran with 2016_R1 image, the RFSOM-BOX-GUI showed up immediately.

However, when I ran with 2019_R2 image, the Linux penguin showed first and then the Linux desktop showed up. The screen is so small that I could not find the application tab and run the RFSOM-BOX-GUI, let alone finding the IP address of the PackRF.

Is there a way to start the RFSOM-BOX-GUI by using the click wheel and button only?

Thanks a lot in advance.

  • I checked the /etc/rc.local file in the 2019_R2 image after typing "sudo adi_update_tools.sh dev" to update the tools. It does have the command "/usr/local/bin/rfsom-box-gui-start.sh" to run RFSOM Box GUI automatically. However, when I run /etc/rc.local, there are some errors.

    Could you show me how to fix it?

  • Hi Adrian,

    If I boot the Packrf and don't want open rfsom-box-gui at startup, how should I do?

    Thank you very much.

  • You could ssh into the device and do "killall -9 rfsom-box-gui". Alternatively you could disable packrf permanently by running

    sudo systemctl disable packrf.service

    The command to enable the systemd service is here: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux_image_ADI-scripts/blob/master/adi_update_tools.sh#L144
