BadMatch on PI2

[GiorgioFoX]

Hello,
I've followed this tutorial: http://www.rs-online.com/designspark/el ... nu-radio-2 to install GNU-RADIO COMPANION and some tools.

Every program that I try to use, for example just OSMOCOM_FFT give the error:
BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 1732 Error_code 8 request_code 70 minor_code 0

Also gnuradio-companion, or GQRX.

What can I do?
thanks
Giorgio

I followed the same tutorial and I can run osmocom_fft without connecting yet any RF tuner. I will confirm that as soon as I installed the toolchain for the bladeRF.

It's strange!
You have download this?

Debian Wheezy
Version:January 2015
Release date:2015-01-31

Or the NOOBS 1.3.12?

I've tried both. Followed the tutorial, startx, open terminal and osmocom_fft give me the error.
Now I try on a new uSD, and I will try also to install bladeRF toolchain (can you please give me a link?)

thanks
Giorgio

I've just tried again:

Booted from a new microSD card, with another Raspberry PI 2 (I have two units here), and this is my steps:

Code: Select all

sudo nano  /etc/apt/sources.list

added deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnuradio gnuradio-dev
sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr gr-osmosdr
sudo reboot

then
startx -> open terminal -> osmocom_fft

and this is my error:

What I'm doing wrong?

I've tried with RTLs, HackRF and FCD+

thanks
Giorgio

Solved!

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add
framebuffer_depth=32
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1

@ ity9bg

I started out with your error (that's how I got to this page). After consulting der Google I found this workaround:
http://tech.enekochan.com/en/category/g ... x/page/15/
The error was solved by using this command:

export LC_ALL=C

But now I'm getting the "BadMatch" error and the config.txt edit didn't seem to fix it.

Anybody else get to stuck here? Help appreciated!
