Okay, so the LED pattern is saying the Kiwi is configured to receive its IP address via DHCP (the default). But the DHCP server is sending an IPv6 address and not an IPv4 address which the Kiwi code requires. So see if your router has an option to a…

Please email your Kiwi-2 serial number to support@kiwisdr.com It's written on the bottom of the Kiwi case. If possible take a cellphone video of the 4 blue LEDs doing their thing. Try and hold the camera steady so I can accurately track which LED is…

Yes, if you re-flash using one of the images from kiwisdr.com the Debian root (and "debian" account) password should get set to the Kiwi board serial number. Note that all other Kiwi configuration settings will be lost if you re-flash unle…

Currently, this Kiwi is working again. So maybe an intermittent hardware problem (e.g. flakey ADC/GPS clock etc). Still Debian 8.5 and v1.800

Kiwi-1 does now offer the proxy service by request given that Kiwi-2 includes it by default. Just send me an email at support@kiwisdr.com and we can get it set up for you. But people have also used their own proxy solutions as mentioned on various f…

That LED pattern also means FPGA not responding: http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-fpga I would try a Debian 11 image re-flash first. Then check voltages/clocks.
-
The other thing worth trying is re-flashing the Kiwi from the current Debian 11 image since it looks like your Kiwi is still running Debian 8.5. That should have no bearing on the FPGA issue, but D8 is so old I don't trust it at all these days. Re-f…

Yeah, that's not good. Try a full power cycle where it stays powered off for a good 30 seconds or so. We've seen a few come good after doing that (reason unknown). If you're able, the other thing would be to check voltages and clocks on the Kiwi boa…

Okay Wayne. Good to hear.

You must really mean "BBAI" and not "BBAI 64" if you're running Debian 9 and that kernel (a non ARM-64 kernel). I tried it just now on a BBAI I hadn't run recently. It was running v1.689, offered v1.711, and then updated successf…

Thanks guys. I have amended the instructions to include removing Beagle_SDR_GPS at the beginning.

Updates won't be affected by not having any serial number or a correct model number. I just looked at another Kiwi-1 that had the same issue of the Kiwi code not being able to open the Debian/Linux EEPROM device. But after a Kiwi restart it worked. …
-
Except for small changes and bug fixes I've given up on making major improvements to the code because it plays right into the hands of the Chinese cloners. There is simply no point anymore. I consider the Kiwi to be feature complete. Sales and suppo…

Alright, I see what's gone wrong here. I found a very old version of the code to compare against. There was code long ago to prevent updates to the frequency field from taking UI focus away during ALE scanning. Looks like that feature was lost durin…
-
I don't believe that's correct.
-
Oh, while a scan is active. Yes, you won't be able to interact with the user interface while a scan is in progress because of how HTML/Javascript works. While scanning the frequency box is updated. And that will take away focus from whatever else yo…
-
I don't see this behavior at all. When a single frequency is specified after ext=ale that frequency is set but scanning does not begin until the scan button is pressed. I believed it has always worked this way. If you had used the name of the scan m…

Yes, the browser zoom control can be used to simulate a device with a small screen (in terms of number of pixels) which is what your screenshot shows. It is acting more like a tablet held in landscape orientation than a usual desktop/laptop. There i…

Remember, please don't hesitate to contact me to fix your admin page looping-connect problem. support@kiwisdr.com I've manually fixed about 60 Kiwis now. Have even used Google Desktop to remotely connect to a browser on a local network pc in a few c…
-
So if I'm understanding correctly, the KiwiSDR saw there was an update to the DX Label database, and downloaded it (since I have that option enabled), and thus commenced a restart then to update the DX database. Is that right? Correct. And this poss…

What does "very long time" mean? On a power-up, after the Linux boot delay, kiwid purposely waits 30 seconds before allowing connections (it only does this on a power-up). It does this to allow things like the DHCP server and NTPd to stabi…
-
In the "good old days" (1980s) several of us would go out to Point Reyes (the same location Rob has installed all the Kiwis at KPH) and listen with audio frequency EM receivers for natural radio phenomena (e.g. whistlers). And you could al…
-
If you're still having trouble, and can ssh in, use htop to look at the processes. Set "tree" mode with the "t" key. You're looking for the "kiwid" process, not "udevd". See if it's crashing and restarting wit…

Hi George, So I don't quite understand. Where are you at with this? Is connecting to the admin page now stable? And on the admin status tab it says v1.800? And can you make a user connection that stays running?
-
So the Kiwi code is fine w.r.t IPv6 local network detection. In this case there was no IPv6 local network defined (with a subnet) for the Ethernet interface. Only point-to-point L2 links to other networking software (private proxy etc). The IPv4 sub…
-
Would pretty much have to be. Congrats. Nothing else would integrate like that to such a degree. I presume you can't actually hear it even in CWN mode. Look at all the 60 Hz harmonics too, lol.
-
Okay. Try this from a root shell: cdp msd (stops Kiwi server) cdk (goes to /root/kiwi.config) nano kiwi.json Add on the second line: "serial_number": 3561, nano admin.json Add on the second line: "kiwi_model": 1, cdp ku …

IPv6 is not well supported. Probably the code for detecting if you're on a local network doesn't support IPv6 or has an IPv6-related bug. Although I would be a little surprised by that. I don't have a way to enable IPv6 here, so difficult to debug. …
-
This should have nothing to do with v1.800. Failed EEPROMs do happen from time to time. Try completely power cycling your Kiwi and see if the Linux device for the EEPROM becomes readable. If not, then you can manually set a serial number & Kiwi …

Found a trivial way to do it. So will be part of the v1.801 release.
