Recently, we made a change to WPSD to help better educate users, and to make WPSD operate better with the various modems out there. However, users have been conditioned by poor documentation to select the incorrect modem type.

If you have been prompted to re-select your modem, or you are trying to find the “STM32-DVM / MMDVM_HS” modem in the Configuration Page, you’ll want to read this document.

I wanted to make users/aspiring users aware of some WPSD Project transitions we’ve been making recently…

Today, I’ve released the long-awaited WPSD “Bookworm”-based disk image for the Raspberry Pi (“RPi”) platforms. This is the (only) WPSD disk image that supports the newer Raspberry Pi Model 5 platform.

Note that this new WPSD RPi Bookworm disk image is universal; so it will support other Raspberry Pi Platforms, not only the Raspberry Pi 5.

(We will release Bookworm-based WPSD disk images for all the other architectures/platforms, of which we provide existing “Bullseye”-based disk images, in the near future.)

NOTE: There are some major differences between this new Bookworm-based WPSD disk image/operating system, and the popular/existing “Bullseye”-based WPSD disk image(s); so please read the rest of this document to learn how to properly install the WPSD Bookworm software…

So, you’d like to contribute to the WPSD project? Great! 👍 We welcome and embrace any contributions, and we’re excited that you’re interested!

Here’s what the project needs, and how you can get started…

This document is now a part of the official WPSD User Manual.

We frequently see user help questions starting with “it doesn’t work”, and no other details. We can’t help without more information. This document is intended to inform you how to ask for help in a way that the WPSD community can effectively help you.
