Hi!

I am trying to make my pegasus functioning but it seems the driver keeps crashing, I am not really sure why, but when I start ekos and it tries to connect to the PPBA kstars just dies.

I was able to turn debugging on for the driver and this is what I getç

I also tried to start kstars with gdb and while I wasn't able to discover much (as if I give a step it exists the app) I was able to see the following error:
SIGSEGV in strlen() hexcodehere /usr/lib/libc.so.6

anybody had the same issue? any idea on what could be wrong?

today, I am also seeing the following thing, but not sure if it is a real error or not

<code>No ISwitch 'CONNECTION_TCP' in Pegasus PPBA.CONNECTION_MODE</code>

Also, I compiled Kstars with debugging symbols and this is the stack I get
Thread 1 "kstars" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

for anybody who will get this error in the future, this was coming straight from the kernel, it's not entirely clear why to me yet, but using the ArchLinux ARM kernel does something to FTDI devices that INDI does not like. I moved to `linux-rpi` and `linux-rpi-headers` and it started to work properly

(Cross post, as my account was in the process of being set-up, I also created a new post here, that has appeared: indilib.org/forum/ekos/11882-ppba-error.html)

Hi,

I can't seem to create a new post, maybe it's because I'm a new user. Anyhow, I can't seem to maintain a connection to the PPBA, am using Arch Linux. Here's in the logs

Any ideas? Thanks!
