I am trying to get SoapySDRserver working with GQRX but all I ever got was a constant waterfall. Frequency changing did not change anything. After that I ran cariboulite_test_app and got:

So the drivers are not for the current assembled modem? Or what else can I do?

Kind regards

I get the exact same thing.
I just bought another Pizero2 and another Pi4 board to make sure. This project has driven my crazy trying to get it to work. Hours, days lost. Not to mention I still think I have the wrong board. I backed this project when it launched and ordered the full version only to receive the SMI version. Then I was sent a 'replacement' from the project developer directly and no support other than attitude from Crowd Supply. Does this even work? All of my other SDRs just work. Hackrf, nano3, sdr-rtl etc. I feel like I have been scammed.

I got mine today. the whole installation process went very well.. only a few warning according to python and doxygen but I think as long that are warning, stuff should work.

running
sudo ./cariboulite_util -c 1 -f 1090e6 -

bring up some symbols to screen, but the tool exits very quick. Looks like there are no more samples and it simply crashes...

Mr. Caribou... what do we have to do ?

I got SoapySDRserver working with GQRX.
I use the AppImage with SoapyRemote is packaged in.

Are you sure to receive the expected signals in stratux or is it just any undefined noise? I also got some smi timeout while checking the new dump1090 dev version that has build in sopaysdr support. Then I ran cariboulite_self_test and saw the mentioned error. I think this has something to do with the timeouts. ...

Where is the developer of cariboulite ?? Where is the support of that project ??

I am getting the same error, whatever software linked to CaribouLite I execute, the incompatible modem error arises.
The board is brand new (faulty), running on a RPi4 8GB with Raspian bullseye.

config.txt have these?

Confirm the second. I would opt for a hardware issue but the board is literally brand new

does uname -r show a 6.5 kernel? if so, you can clone my fork that has a fix for compiling the kernel module and rerun the install.sh. https://github.com/unixpunk/cariboulite

might also try apt update;apt upgrade;reboot if you haven't updated things in a while and then re-run the install.sh again and reboot before testing again. all of this stuff needs a reboot after its performed; prior to testing. hth

i can also say that i haven't tried this on raspbian, i have success using DragonOS.

if you use my fork that won't happen, otherwise just edit line 1319 in cariboulite/driver/build/smi_stream_dev.c and remove "THIS_MODULE, " so it looks like: smi_stream_class = class_create(DEVICE_NAME);

You will also need to make sure config.txt is good and that you manually add your user to dialout and root groups. then after running install.sh, reboot and give it another shot.

Adding spi1-3cs solved this problem in my case. Curiously, even tho apparently both channels (sub1Ghz, HiF) seem to work O.K. (for RX), sudo SoapySDRUtil --probe only shows the sub1Ghz path.

Thanks!

That's expected, open a SDR app and check it.
