I am new to Raspberry Pi technology, but I did buy a Raspberry Pi4 so I could load FLDIGI and FLRIG, or some facsimile thereof, and also communicate via possibly other digital modes like FT8, etc...and, frankly, I don't have any experience with the digital data modes yet, but I'm making an effort to learn.
I'm told I need a USB driver, and Yaesu only publishes one for download for Windows or MAC.
What do I do if I want a USB driver for the Raspberry Pi?
Do I need a "script" instead of a USB driver for a Raspberry Pi?
Do I even need a USB driver, or will the Raspberry Pi work right out of the box without the driver from Yaesu?
I have the Pi up and running, seems to work well, desktop comes up, and all of the programs and functions that come with the flashed OS seem to function properly. I even have FLDIGI loaded on the Pi, and the FLDIGI window comes up fine, etc...
But, I haven't configured the Yaesu FT-991A yet to communicate with the Raspberry Pi, not knowing if by setting up the radio to communicate with the Pi, I might be screwing things up without a proper USB driver, or script, or whatever, installed first on the Raspberry Pi.
