Usb_interface_claim error on 978

[trfd]

My UAT978 receiver quit working. It’s the FA orange dongle and it worked well until the latest update. I’ve serialized according to instruction here.

Log shows the 1090 active but 978 shows the usb_interface_claim_error

dump978-fa.service:Unit entered failed state
dump978-fa.service: failed with result ‘exit-code’.

Log shows the 1090 active but 978 shows the usb_interface_claim_error

Post a longer log, preferably on pastebin and link it here.
Debug commands · wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki · GitHub

Also check the command
sudo piaware-config
to see if the serials are configured correctly.

Then check if the dongles are still showing the right serial:

sudo systemctl stop piaware dump1090-fa dump978-fa
sudo rtl_test

You can either restart the services or just reboot.

Found 1 device(s):

So you see, one of the dongles isn’t working anymore.
Hmm or maybe you need to specify a device with rtl_test?

sudo rtl_test -d 1

Anyway the output of

sudo piaware-config

Is the other interesting part of the puzzle.

[abcd567]

Unplug both dongles, then after 30 seconds replug both dongles, and run the test:

rtl_test -t

[trfd]

I’m running this as a single dongle UAT978.

I added the 978 dongle but didn’t add the 1090 device. Seems you need to add both as it looks for both dongles.

[wiedehopf]

@trfd

I’m running this as a single dongle UAT978.

Then you need to disable 1090 MHz reception.

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware

9 - USING ONLY ONE FREQUENCY (978 Mhz OR 1090 Mhz)

9.1 - If you want to run 978 Mhz only
In this case, you will need only one dongle, but you will have to disable dump1090-fa by following command

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware

To re-enable dump1090-fa (requires an additional dongle for dump1090-fa)

sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo systemctl restart piaware

9.2 - If you want to run 1090 Mhz only
In this case, you will need only one dongle, but you will have to disable dump978-fa by following command

sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware

To re-enable dump978-fa (requires an additional dongle for dump978-fa)

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo systemctl restart piaware
