timeout error since firmware 2.0.0 about soapyairspyhf HOT 18 CLOSED

that's interesting, I got similar results but I thought this was due to the gain settings I added to this project but I also upgraded fw from 1.0 to latest 1.x so maybe real cause is the firmware. which exact version of airspyhf are you using?

from soapyairspyhf.

also in my experience this timeout only happens at start of stream and when setting agc on/off later while streaming. Changing gain also stops the hardware stream for a bit of time but afaik not for more than the default timeout of 100msec

from soapyairspyhf.

what program produced that log message?

from soapyairspyhf.

it it rtl_airband

it happens for an hour and half after launching rtl_airband and not changing gain or AGC

maybe downgrading to firmware 1.0.0 worth a try ?

from soapyairspyhf.

don't forget if you downgrade you reintroduce the firmware upgrade bug. what version or which commit of SoapyAirspyHF are you using?

from soapyairspyhf.

Yes I have to keep a screwdriver nearby... ;-)
there is new option to change the gain in rtl_airband. I will try today with AGC as before

ok, don't change the firmware yet. I will update this comment with a link to download earlier version of SoapyAirspyHF and please try that one
here's the download link for earlier version: https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyAirspyHF/archive/e8582d43600105060b45729655a8979edd35639a.zip

too bad...
SoapySDR device 'driver=airspyhf,device_id=0': readStream failed: TIMEOUT, disabling

firmware downgrade ?

from soapyairspyhf.

Have you tried the earlier SoapyAirspyhf version I mentioned above with a download link?

from soapyairspyhf.

yes this is the one i installed before the test

from soapyairspyhf.

thanks, that means the problem exists even with the earlier SoapyAirSpyHF, the one that does not support gain settings. You could try to convince the developers or rtl_airband to ignore timeouts or revert back to old firmware but I don't like that option, for me gain settings are a must :)

R2.2.0 - 2019-06-04 Better underrun/overrun handling.

this might be just the firmware update you are looking for
