One of my friends has reported something similar - decodes stop for no reason and start back at random. He doesn't use a Raspberry Pi. He uses a recent 27" iMac and runs Windows in a Parallels instance. The rig is a Flex-6300 and uses the COM port for CAT control (via SmartSDR CAT).
CPU usage seems fine, memory usage seems fine. We have been unable to pin it down. Audio from the Flex DAX sound card device seems fine too. Clock is sync'ed. He's using 1.9.0-rc2 (I'll ask him to upgrade to RC3). Just a data point. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 12:14 PM, FRANK DB5FP <db...@gmx.de> wrote: > > >> On 22/03/2018 18:42, FRANK DB5FP wrote: >> > Hello, >> > >> > I'm back with some more Information : >> > >> > - the soundcard is not a cheapie:-) It's a Terratec Aureon >> > I've used it several years for decoding NOAA sats, without >> > any notice, even under linux and on RPI2 together with wxtoimg. >> > - the problem looks like an RPI USB problem. >> > >> > I have been searching the internet and found "dwc_otg" >> > problems.....there are many forum entries and debug hints like >> > kernel command line options etc., but at least nothing will help >> > solving that usb-driver (that is my conclusion). >> > - Main problem is of cours that linux-usb handling will loose some >> > audiodata -> this causes the /usr/bin/JT9 process to stop working >> > correctly (lower cpu usage than normal), no decode no waterfall >> > This stops processing audiodata even after a short wile >> > audiodatat is back again.... >> > >> > --> wsjt-x gui should supervise JT9 process to observe any >> > irregularities , like it does when JT9 process is shut down >> > manually. >> > >> > 73 >> > >> > Frank >> > DB5FP >> >> Hi Frank, >> >> a couple of clarifications. >> >> The jt9 process does not directly handle audio samples, they are read >> and written by a thread of the wsjtx process. >> >> The jt9 process is monitored by the wsjtx process and failures are >> reported via a message box including the reason for failure. >> >> If the source of sound samples stops delivering samples; the wsjtx >> waterfall and decoding will also stop. >> >> 73 >> Bill >> G4WJS. >> > Hi Bill, > > interesting Information, because : > > Soundcard has an indicator LED, LED ON means, power ok. > Flashing means data is being read from the soundcard. > > And the LED is flashing(all the time)even when waterfall and decode > stopped. > -> wsjtx reads data from soundcard??? but does not pass data to jt9 ??? > > No Error Messages are generated in wsjtx. > > Behavior is the same like I'm pulling USB cord while wsjtx is running-> > no message is generated and decode and waterfall is stopped. > > > 73 > Frank > DB5FP > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > wsjt-devel mailing list > wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
