Aubrey thanks for the tip on searching! I was going to download all of the archives into a folder to search from but they are g-zipped and I'm running windows. Haven't found a compatible program i can use.
Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!

There doesn't appear to be an "official" way to search the archives, but you can use Google's "site" directive to do it.
For example, if I want to search for "Raspberry" (i.e. Raspberry Pi), then I can put the following into the Google search bar:
"site:intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/ raspberry"

Are there resources for learning how to integrate boards like the RPi with radios like my Baofeng? Or is this knowledge mostly around the Direwolf community?
thx, sam452

I ran CHIRP successfully on a Raspberry Pi Zero W (Pi0W) as an experiment to see if I could eliminate the need for a USB-to-Serial cable. It worked. Many modern HTs use a 3.3V serial interface, which is what the Pi0W exposes on its header pins. I just connected the Pi0W's RxD, TxD, and GND to the appropriate pins on the Baofeng UV-5RA. with 2K resistors in the RxD and TxD wires and just a straight wire for GND. It worked. CHIRP did take a very long time to get itself initrialized the first time. I think that is because the Pi0W is a slow single-CPU machine. For packet, I intended to use the Pi0W, running Direwolf, but I'm now shifting to the FriendlyArm NanoPi Duo, because is has on-board audio I/O which eliminates the need for a USB audio dongle. The NanoPi is also only about half the size of the Pi0W and it has four CPUs. The downside is that it is not as well supported, so I'm on my own for pretty much everything. I have CHIRP running on the NanoPi Duo now. I intend to see if I can build a CHIRP wire for my Yaesu FT-4.

A lot of us like to run it on a Raspberry Pi.

Back in early 2014 I was doing some chirp code development on FT-60s, fixing some bugs and with the eventual goal of adding "Settings" control. Someone else has since done that.
Part of that process is mapping the memory by twiddling bits in the image, uploading to the radio, and seeing through the radio's button interface what changed. It went pretty smoothly for a while, then I managed to brick *TWO* FT-60s. One of which was repaired by sending it to the factory to replace an eprom.
I'm not going to add any further detail here, my investigation was pretty thoroughly documented in a thread on the chirp_devel mail list with subject "How to brick an FT-60" starting 3/22/14. See also Bug #1547: [FT-60] Chirp should check parity on download.
But normal use of chirp to program radios doesn't do this. The user interface only lets you make limited, well understood changes to the radio image bitmap. I still do that with mine.

Has anyone had a problem programming a Yaesu radio with CHIRP? Someone mentioned that their Yaesu was damaged and had to be sent to the factory because CHIRP had overwritten some code controlling the processor. It also had to be re-flashed. Since I don't fully understand how CHIRP works this doesn't make sense to me, but knowing manufacturing companies, they may share Channel Memory with processor memory and not think much about it. Thanks for your information.
