Hmmm....

I'd have to say 4.2.1 is broken even worse.

This was performed on a jumbospot using a pi zero 2W configured as a D-Star hotspot.

I formatted my memory card.
Imaged the card with the 4.2.1 download.
Dropped my saved config from 4.1.8 into the boot partition.
Booted the hotspot

/dev ...

Hey Kit,

Yep, those are the instructions I used to recreate ttyAMA0 correctly.

Here's a speculation - if the hotpsot is never configured with a display, maybe the problem never occurs.
I had set my display type to None, but the display port was still ttyAMA0. One I set the port to None it
seems ...

Hi Kit,

Well here's my latest.

I had set my display type to None, but I had failed to set it's associated port to none.
I've done that now and reboots go without issue now.

I'm running a chinese hs_hat on a pi zero 2W.

Well, unfortunately it did it again.

This time with a freshly loaded 4.2.0 with NO DISPLAY selected.

I went to configuration, enabled Wires-X passthrough. Hit apply.

/dev/ttyAMA0 is now linked to /dev/pts/0

I can temporarily fix it by recreating the node and doing an update to restart services ...

Ok the dstar hotspot was rebuilt from scratch on 4.2.0

But this time I chose to the leave the display set at None
for now. It's a tiny display that I NEVER look at so no loss.

So far so good...

Thanks,
Bob, NS2B

Hmmm....

It seems to be running home to making /dev/ttyAMA0 a link to/dev/pts/0

Do you suppose there's something in my restored config that's doing that?

I'll try just starting from scratch without restoring my config.

I have OLED Type 3 selected and it is indeed there and working.

I don't know how to fix it - but I had the same thing happen to my DStar and DMR hotspots.

I had upgraded both of them to 4.2.0. To create the problem go to the configuration screen
and make an edit. Just about anything does it. On my DStar hotspot I changed english_uk to english_us.
On my DMR ...

Update:

Just had the same thing happen on my DMR hotspot.

Make an update on the configuration screen.

/dev/ttyAMA0 becomes linked to /dev/pts/0 and the hotspot ceases to function.

Hello All,
I don't know if I can accurately explain this, but I'm going to try.

I have one of those jumbo spot hotspots using a chinese radio boards that has worked fine all the way up to 4.1.8.
It started out on a pi zero W - a while back put it on a pi zero 2W - no problems.

I upgraded the ...
