• Some digital modes (WSPR, FT8, etc.) require a synchronized system clock. If the board does not have a synchronized RTC module but has an internet connection, you might want to install ntpdate (from the meta-networking layer).

• Some packages (WSJT-X, JS8Call) depend on fortran libraries, but the fortran runtime is not enabled by default in the yocto project. You'll need to add the following line to the conf/local.conf file:

FORTRAN:forcevariable = ",fortran" 

• If using rtl-based sdr dongles, you might need to unload the dvb_usb_rtl28xxu module from the kernel, as it is automatically inserted.

rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu

• When starting direwolf, you need a configuration file in ~/direwolf.conf specifying the audio interface. Use cm108 tool to identify the audio interface and then create the file like this:

echo "ADEVICE plughw:0,0" > ~/direwolf.conf
