I have the same issue for providing device names in the snoop fields etc. Would it be possible for someone replace the text field with a selection list of possible drivers so that we don't have the naming uncertainty?
Thanks

I would hazard a guess that your system is actually an arm64 system rather than amd, so try an intstaller based on ARM. I have it running on an Odroid without problems, using astap_arm64.deb.

Well I actually have both already 
I find I prefer the Odroid-N2, seems snappier. Much of that is likely due to the eMMC vs SD.
I'm a complete novice with electronics, so this looks similar, but maybe not sufficiently so.

Depends on whether the ODroid has the same GPIO pin configuration. If it does, it might.
If push comes to shove, your ODroid will go up in flames and you will finally be able to buy an RPi4 in good conscience.....

Hi,
I just did an AstroPi3 update and and ran the system software updater. I get this error on launching kstars (the bleeding edge version from today)

Then I tried updating my version on the same Odroid-N2 built from source using the instructions at indilib.org/forum/general/210-howto-buil...st-libindi-ekos.html
I'm a complete newbie with git, so I think I pulled the new changes from the specific folders (after a requested stash, which is one of the things I don't really understand). QtCreator was running, and detected source code changes.
I ran both the debug version and non-debug version from QtCreator without a problem.
How do I identify the version of code in the version I downloaded using software updater (now that I've forgotten what it said)? I think it was 2019-11-25.

Thanks, Ihoujin, my Meade focal reducer is missing/hiding at the moment. I may have to replace it.
Ihoujin wrote: Ok. I'll just quickly say that from a little sleuthing I found that the older Meade SCTs require their F/6.3 focal reducer/field flattener to correct for these aberrations. Their newer models feature 'advanced coma-free optics' and do not require one.
As for the diffraction spike, inspect all optical surfaces carefully. Also check your secondary mirror collimation from time to time, especially if you are transporting the telescope.

Thanks for the feedback, yes I'm not sure what's going on with this, but it's likely all my doing... I'd appreciate any adivce.
The SCT is an OLD hand-me-down 10" Meade which I have attached an 2" extension tube from a slightly newer 8" Meade LX200 with no focal reducer between to a Nikon Z7. I'm not sure why I get that vignetting. The coma I presume is a normal reflection of this SCT's quality.
For the diffraction spikes, I don't really know either, I assumed it was a side effect of a 120 sec. exposure at ISO 12800
I have had advice that that ISO was crazy, I was just seeing what a larger number of shorter high ISO exposures might do when combined. Here is the result (for better or worse)

not quite as clean or sharp as those refractors the imagers around here have.
Ihoujin wrote:
This is a tangent, but you appear to have some issues in your optical train to look into. There's coma and plenty of vignetting. Maybe too much focal reduction? And there are prominent diffraction spikes that shouldn't be present with an SCT. That can happen with cabling for hyperstar, or worst case a scratched corrector plate, filter, focal reducer...jerry wrote: No problem... here it is www.dropbox.com/s/jmt6cas06gj5qh7/NGC%20...-32-43_100.fits?dl=0

So I compiled Kstars from source code on the Odroid-N2 and debugged it using QTCreator.
in stretch.cpp
if I halve the size of maxSamples e.g. 5000000 / 2; shown below (line 216)
This code then works for my large fits files.
I'm not sure exactly what the memory problem was, but that seems to get around the problem.
Is there a better way to report this. than here? How do I contact @murveit
// Find the median sample.
constexpr int maxSamples = 500000 / 2;
const int sampleBy = width * height < maxSamples ? 1 : width * height / maxSamples;
const int size = width * height;
T medianSample = median(buffer, width * height, sampleBy);
