Crashes on pi3

[Niall7459]

When I start the program it crashes my pi..

I cannot VNC or anything but it doesnt shutdown it just freezes.

[Niall7459]

Program loads and everything, I can hear the radio but cannot access pi.
This worked okay on mypi 2

[Niall7459]

I am using VNC but i also cannot FTP or SSH onto the pi in this state.

Will a apt-get dist-upgrade fix this....?

[Niall7459]

When i move a window while the TX is running it freeze.s

Hm... weird. I don't have the Rpi 3 so I can't really test it, but maybe it's an issue with DMA channel?
You can try to apply this commit to PiFmAdv: SaucySoliton/PiFmRds@fcfccdd

If the problem persists try running PiFmAdv on bare Arch Linux Arm (without xorg etc)

[Niall7459]

I run it headless now anyway

[Niall7459]

okay @meigl Is there a command I can use to apply this commit?

[Niall7459]

Never mind its only small

[Niall7459]

Do i have to MAKE?

[Niall7459]

OH MY YOU LEGEND IT WORKS GREAT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU NOW I CAN USE THE GUI!!!!!

Question : this doesnt affect performance using DMA 5?

[miegl]

No, this doesn't affect performance.
I'll soon commit new update but I need to do some testing first.

[Niall7459]

Cool thanks it works great.
I'm now doing some cool testing with the fifo pipe.

Question: what is best antenna to use? homemade like a 1/2 wave dipole?

[Niall7459]

OH no problem My audio play slightly fast and cuts out after a few seconds!

[Niall7459]

Okay I have now set define DMA_NUMBER 6 And it seems to work okay

[miegl]

well DMA channel 6 is reserved by GPU so idk how that will work out. You can try any of these channels which appear free: 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

[Niall7459]

oh lol 6 is working fine at the moment
