Debian 11 image for Kiwis using BeagleBone AI-64

edited May 2 in BeagleBone AI-64

Even though BBAI-64 systems already run Debian 11 there has never been an sd card flasher image file available that contains a version of the KiwiSDR software (as we have for BBG/BBB based systems).

Well now there is. See the instructions at: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-net-reflash

You might want to use this image file if you need to recover a BBAI-64 that won't boot anymore. Or have ordered a KiwiSDR 2 "board-only" product and need to flash the Kiwi software onto your BBAI-64 before the board arrives.

See here for correct mounting of the Kiwi board on the BBAI-64: https://forum.kiwisdr.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/14651/#Comment_14651

    A Debian 11.9 / v1.665 image for the BBAI-64 is now available. See the instructions mentioned above for how to construct an SD flasher card to re-flash your BBAI-64.

    Buenas tardes como se le hace para instalar el kiwisdr y que se vea en la aplicación ?

    KiwiSDR no es un software que se instala en una computadora. Es la interfaz web que se muestra cuando se conecta al hardware KiwiSDR con un navegador web. Este puede ser su propio KiwiSDR que compre para usted o uno de los KiwiSDR públicos que figuran en http://kiwisdr.com/public

    KiwiSDR is not software you install on a computer. It is the web interface shown when you connect to the KiwiSDR hardware with a web browser. This can be your own KiwiSDR that you purchase for yourself or one of the public KiwiSDR's listed at http://kiwisdr.com/public

    Thanks for this image. I ended up having to update my v1 board on a BBG w/Debian 9 the other night, because it wouldn't compile any release over 1.671 anymore (because of dream extension missing refs, I think).

    This one worked great once I got the BBG into flash mode. I just tarred up the kiwi.config folder beforehand, unzipped it back over the stock one after the update, and was back in business.

    Does the Debian 11.9 / v1.665 image for the BBAI-64 have a static or DHCP network config?

    I'm having a play around with a '64 but it never seems to get a DHCP address with that image.

    If I use one of the default images from beagleboard.org it gets an address from my DHCP server without any problems.

    Cheers, Chris

    It should be set for DHCP.

    I just looked at an sd card I have here with that image. The file /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network is specifying DHCP:

    [Match]

    Name=eth0

    Type=ether

    [Link]

    RequiredForOnline=yes

    [Network]

    DHCP=ipv4

    And the Kiwi admin config (file: kiwi.config/admin.json) is also set to DHCP:

    cdk

    ja|gr static

      "use_static": false,

    So check those two things directly.

    OK - probably a false alarm. I used the standard Debian release image to write an SD card on the BBAI-64 itself, then rebooted & flashed using that and all burst into life.

    I'd originally written the SD card on Windows - guess something got corrupted there, even though all "verified" ok!

    Cheers, Chris

    Okay Chris. Glad you got it working.

    I've mentioned elsewhere that future products will include one of those little OLED displays to tell you what the heck is going on for cases like this.
