Well, one big problem you're going to have is that SavvyCAN was written for QT5.14 while you have QT 6.7 installed. Unfortunately QT6 just won't quite result in a working copy of SavvyCAN right now. But, there has been a lot of work to get it moving in that direction. So, it may compile but after that, you will probably run into issues. What you are experiencing is that QT doesn't bundle all the add-ons with the base install. You need to install the serialbus and serialport packages as well. I don't know what they're called on Raspbian but you should be able to find them in the list of QT6 packages available. |

Thanks for the reply. It appears my issue is the arm architecture! I
can't find qt download for arm64 pre 6.0! I went from nothing to
cansniffing in no time flat on my x86 lol. I tried building qt from source
but have run into problems there as well. Apparently there were a handful
of bugs, now patched obviously, but I've checked 2 dozen patches.. none of
which did me any good! I am back to square 1... deflated... and tired!
We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Thanks again for your help

I just pushed a new version to the QT6WIP branch. This version is now at feature parity with the master branch. So, you can use the QT6WIP branch and compile with Qt6.7 on your RPI. This should yield a properly working copy of the program. I should really look into what it'd take to get a CI/CD build of SavvyCAN for ARM on the Raspberry PI. |

+1 for a CI/CD build for ARM on the Raspberry Pi. I've been struggling all day trying to get Qt >5.15 but not Qt6 on the RPi to build, seems like I will have to try to build the QT6WIP branch. |

I would think so, I don't have a Pi3 on hand, only a Pi4 - but it works fine on Pi4 64bit, so I can't see why it wouldn't work on a Pi3 |

Tested, the answer is yes, SavvyCan opens, haven't connected to a CAN source yet though! |

I should mention that I've moved the QT6 support into the master branch so it should be possible to compile on QT6 (I think you might need QT6.5 or higher as they didn't add in SerialBus support in the early releases). So, it ought to compile as-is with the QT6 packages and the master branch. But, I haven't gotten around to trying it. |

@lucyyyyyyy @collin80 you are awesome! The PI5 is up and running It runs Raspbian, Ubuntu, and AOSP 14 pretry smoothly. With the dual MCP2515 I cant wait to get SavvyCAN on it this weekend! I'll post a status report ASAP. |

I seen this and you might indeed have insight that I am looking for. I have a RaspberryPi 5 with Ubuntu 24.04 installed Im using a Waveshare 485/CAN hat and i have it all working but fighting to get a Pi5 compatible version of SavvyCAN running. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could assist.. -Brian- |

Finally back at the Pi! I'm attempting to cross compile QT5 (6.4.0) on my PC in order to compile savvyCAN directly on the raspi. I ran into this Apparantly a while back there were these errors in the source. They patched them up right away, Bob's your uncle and everone's cute for qt! I started looking into this one and i noticed a few people also trying to cross compile coming up with the same errors. If any of you out there with a little more experience could point me in the right direction, I'd be super appreciative .

This much I can say: I've not heard of anyone successfully cross compiling it. I've heard of people who did it directly on a Raspberry Pi but I have not tried it myself. It has just always seemed like more complication than it's worth to me. I have a laptop and I drag it around to cars and only every couple of years drop a laptop or accelerate hard in a car snapping the screen off or drop a 12V lead onto the top of a can capture card while it's plugged into the laptop and fry the motherboard (yes, I've done all three of those things). So, I just use the PC version and carry a laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help. All I know is that it is possible and some people have done it. |

Actually... while looking for a different board I happened across an Rpi4B with a CAN hat on it and so I might as well give it a try. I'll install the latest RaspberryOS and see where this adventure takes me. It may be possible to publish compiled binaries. I think Rpi4 and Rpi5 are binary compatible so I'm pretty sure the same executable will work for either |

I loaded the newest RaspberryOS onto an sdcard, updated all existing packages, then installed the following packages (sudo apt install): From there I used git clone to download the SavvyCAN source. Then in the resulting folder: This results in a full compile that takes a LONG time on an RPi4. I can compile all of SavvyCAN in about 16 seconds on my normal dev machine but it takes several minutes on the RPi. And... it works! I tested at least to be able to load the program and then load up a capture file and scroll around. I haven't tested much else and probably can't today. But, the above steps do yield a theoretically working build. All it takes is about 10 minutes of waiting when you start compiling. On an RPi5 you likely will not have to wait nearly as long. |

Hello Collin, Thank you so much for your great work in reverse engineering. I have been following your work for sometime now in windows version and successfully connected with Arduino Due as per your instructions. Now as a new user with Raspberry Pi5, I have been trying to compile and install SavvyCAN but still facing so many huddles... Problem 1. I have the natively built-in Qt 6.4.2 and I would like to keep this because past experience showed me that if you installed higher version, the RPi built-in would never be upgraded, rather it stays side by side with it. So, to make my current Qt version 6.4.2 work with the SavvyCAN installation, I followed the advice given by randybb, and edited line 7 of the SavvyCAN.pro to my Qt version 6.4.2, and this worked to proceed with the installation, but... Problem 2. More errors arrived: [Makefile:2206: lawicel_serial.o] Error 1. I followed your instructions...
================================== So to fix this error, I did the followings... qmake6 Unfortunately, I get the same error messages even though tried to install the followings for corrections...
See below the details of the log. So, what else can I do to correct this? I would like to remind you that Android and Linux share a good percentage of compatibility, and as the two communities grow, there will be more users asking your for more attention. Therefore, Raspberry Pi and Android can no longer be overlooked. Therefore, just as you did for windows, if you can compile this for the linux kernel so that we just use "sudo apt install SavvyCAN", that would eliminate all these installation pain. We love your project, and if you need support, then activate a donation link. Warm regards. ===================================== `sunny@RaspberryNet:~/SavvyCAN $ sudo apt install qt6-serialbus-dev sunny@RaspberryNet:~/SavvyCAN $ sudo apt install qt6-serialport-dev sunny@RaspberryNet:~/SavvyCAN $ sudo apt install libqt6serialbus6-dev libqt6serialport6-dev qtdeclarative6-dev qttools6-dev sunny@RaspberryNet: |

Hello Brian, your voice has been heard. We have been reading about all your struggles since last, 2024. All I can say for now is, be patient a little more, we will get there. Collin already knows what will solve this problem. From his comment that I have reproduced below, it looks like he started using Raspberry Pi last year for testing. "**@collin80 @bfpa40 As for me, I knew about raspberry Pi many years ago but was reluctant to give it a trial. I dived into Arduino and later realized it does not give me all the connectivity I need. So, raspberry Pi, with all its computer specifications plus GPIO, becomes a "father" to Arduino! Sincerely speaking, when I was looking for a microcomputer, I was still reluctant to choose Raspberry Pi because I never liked hardwares that are named after foods (LOL), moreover, I prefer Strawberry to Raspberry. But with time, my impression about Raspberry Pi began to grow because Raspberry Pi (owned by Broadcom) has a huge community behind it, making it difficult for its competitors to take over the lead. So the advantage of having such a huge community kicks in when we are having problems like this; there is someone who always give an answer to our queries. Be happy that you have a good and reliable machine, Raspberry Pi, a European technology. It is not cheap as people describe it in the internet because by the time you finish mounting all the hardware components like active cooler, sound card, Canbus module, hard drive HAT, etc, you will realize that you are really buying a desktop computer! The Raspbian OS is so reliable and solid, compared to that of most machines from Asia with pre-installed and modified softwares. All the errors I have experienced so far with Raspberry Pi are as a result of my wrong installation or compilation. I have the active cooler mounted on the microprocessor and that helps to push down the temperature to about 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Then I mounted the waveshare Fan HAT at about 1 inch from the motherboard to help blow away any trapped hot air from the heat sink, and this further pushes down my system temperature to a maximum of 36 degree Celsius; that's what I want. I always test the tolerance of Raspberry Pi, "abusing" it by leaving it ON, days and nights even though I am not using it, and the base always remains cool. This way, it can be used for security camera for 24hrs/365days a year... Regards. |

Brian, I think you are right; you need Qt 6.5 or higher as stated in Collin´s message of May 13, 2024. He said that support for SerialBus were not added in previous versions below 6.5. This means, if I am not mistaken, no matter how we do a work-arround to modify line 7 of the SavvyCAN.pro (in SavvyCAN folder) to match Qt 6.4.2 as I had done, the serialbus error will still pop up. This was the problem that I had. As for me I don´t want to compile and install Qt 6.5 because the Pi5 pre-installed Qt6.4.2 will not be upgraded and I had bad experiences having two versions installed. So, if you like, try the Qt 6.5 or higher and let us know the results. Regards. |

I'm glad to hear that you have successfully installed the SavvyCAN. Very important, do not forget to tell us the proceedures that you have taken, because you have some questions to answer in order to let us understand what was blocking your progress. I would not just settle for the fact that you re-installed the bookworm OS to succeed, because not everyone who got it installed had to wipe out everything from the memory just to install only one application.

Just woke up and starting my morning coffee ritual. Havent tried it in the
vehicle yet but I can answer your questions
1.) What version of Qt did you use to get it installed?
I Installed Qt6.5.4
2.) Did you try modifying the SavvyCAN.pro to force installation with
Qt_6.4.2?
I commented out the 3 line starting at line 7
3.) Qt_6.4.2 is by default the version pre-loaded in the Raspberry Pi 5
depository. So if you installed version 6.5, I believe the v6.4.2 was not
upgraded; check to see how many Qt versions are currently installed on your
Pi5.
I dont believe there was any Qt loaded by default as I could get the
version command to echo anything.
More to come later.

Hello All, This is a confirmation of a successful installation of SavvyCAN on Raspberry PI 5, 8GB, with the latest OS Trixie 64bit, and a pre-loaded Qt_6.8.2 by Raspberry Pi Foundation. So if you are using a hardware with the same specifications as mine, no need to compile higher version of Qt for SavvyCAN at the time of writing this message (December 2025) until Collin upgrades the SavvyCAN. The last time that I was struggling with this, unsuccessfully, was from February to March 2025, and by then, I had the Pi 5 pre-built Qt_6.4.2 installed while SavvyCAN was compiled for Qt_6.5 and above. The reason why I did not want to manually compile higher version of Qt is that whenever there is an error with such application, removing all the thousands of dependencies is a headache; moreover, it never upgrades automatically. Once, I had to reinstall the whole corrupted OS. So Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends using the "apt" to install applications. The advantage is that applications can be easily removed using "Add/Remove" on Raspbian, and whenever you use this method (sudo apt...) to install a new version, it automatically upgrades. If not all, most applications on Raspberry Pi OS are usually one or two versions behind the latest versions because they are "Stable Versions." It would be nice if Collin adds this great application to the Raspberry Pi repository, or at least, use the same version of Raspberry Pi as a Standard to make life easy for us. The Wireshark can be easily installed from the Raspberry Pi Repository. As you can see from one of the attached images, the "git checkout QT6WIP" that gave me error before is no longer a problem. And the "make -j 6" that gave me the serial port error before is no longer a problem. All installation went smoothly for about 5 minutes. Once again, thank you - Collin. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas & a Blessed New Year.

Brian, keep us updated on how far you have gone. One thing that I have not yet resolved is the SavvyCAN icon. Once everything is installed, the icon does not automatically get installed; it has to be done manually as instructed by Collin in his Github main page for SavvyCAN as follows:.. cd SavvyCAN The desktop shortcut get installed successfully, but it is not the expected colorful logo of SavvyCAN. I have the same problem with other icons too, which means it may be an operative system problem. Please, whoever has the knowledge of how to resolve this, post your solution to help us. This is a very simple thing to resolve in windows operating system: just right-click any icon -> properties -> change icon. |

OK I am doing all of this on a uconsole with a CM5 installed. My goal is to
run the SavvyCAN off of the uconsole HOWEVER I am experiencing difficulties
getting Raspberry Pi OS Trixie the latest working on uconsole. I am
beginning to think its not compatible with it.

The following google search tells that Trixie is compatible with CM5. So you should find the Pi5 official webpage where you can get a step by step instructions on how best to install it. Have a look at the following link, and you will discover that if you want to install the SavvyCAN without problems, then the Trixie OS is your best because... ========================== And here is my Qt System Information on Trixie OS

Evening Collin .. I have had a fun day of reloading my uconsole CM5 in
preparation for this.. WOOT WOOT!! Ok not that I have Trixie (Rex's build)
for the uconsole up and running I looked at your referenced image
SavvyCAN_Install.png
<https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0568ee67-d4aa-4566-8707-fe48cd05c652>
Which
shows the steps im assuming you did up to actually tunning SavvyCAN. Well
from out original E-Mail the steps referenced were as follows:
a. sudo apt update & upgrade
b. installed all the packages given in your instructions (see the
installation log below)
c. git clone https://github.com/collin80/SavvyCAN.git
d. cd SavvyCAN
e. git checkout QT6WIP (I am not sure why this gave error, but I still
continued with the installation)
f. qmake6
g. make -j 6 The result of this execution was the 3 errors recorded by
lawicel serial port as can be seen in the log.
But in the screengrab you provided SavvyCAN_Install.png the last command i
see you issuing is (step e.) git checkout QT6WIP. I tried to issue the
qmake6 command after that however it says qmake6 command not found. I guess
after a long day screwing with this uconsole my brain is fried.. What am I
missing?

Hello Brian, here is my contribution by experience. d. The QT6WIP error, even though does not stop you from installing SavvyCAN, is indirectly telling you to set your locale UTF-8. Assuming that your Linux environment is the same as my Trixie Operating System, you should go to the following setting: RPi Start Menu => Preferences => Control Centre => Localisation => Set Locale, then change from any "ISO-xxxx-x" to UTF-8. According to search on Google, UTF-8 is very important because it is a "Global Standard: The preferred encoding for HTML, email, and nearly all modern web content. Moreover, it supports all languages and symbols." So, it is recommended that you make this change before you start installing SavvyCAN if you want to avoid this error. Note that even though you are allowed to install SavvyCAN without changing to UTF-8, each time you execute SavvyCAN from the termnal, you will be reminded of this again and again. f. If you do not have Qt_6.5 or higher properly setup, it will be a waste of time attempting to install the SavvyCAN. Collin had already said this in his post of May 13, 2024. The reason is that earlier versions of Qt (below v6.5) had no support for SerialBus which is an important configuration for CANbus modules. Remember that either "qmake6" or "make -j 6" is a component of Qt. As I had said in my last post, installing the pre-loaded Qt_6.8.2 on RPi5 Trixie, resolved my SerialBus errors. Regards. |

sdyca,
Thank you for the feedback. I am using Trixie 6.12
uconsole CM5/Pi5 build by Rex. I have it up and working (OS and
Hackergadgets V2 Hardware) now with this SavvyCAN is my last
stumbling block. I get down to the step where Im suppose to type in "git
checkout QT6WIP" and that works. Its the next step which is "qmake6" that
doesnt work and echoes back command not found. I have done a "which qmake6"
and it doesnt appear to be loaded. That is where I currently stand if
firing up SavvyCAN is the same thats why I was questioning collin if
those steps still need to be done which i believe they do.

Have a look at the following link, and you will discover that if you want
to install the SavvyCAN without problems, then the Trixie OS is your best
because...
Bookworm - is a Stable legacy OS, but it is built with Qt_6.4.2 which is
not useful for SavvyCAN.
Trixie - is the latest Stable and recommended OS, built with Qt_6.8.2
(this meets the requirements of SavvyCAN).
Forky - is built with Qt_6.9.2. Although this meets the requirements for
SavvyCAN, it is not recommended because the OS is still in its testing
phase.
Sid - is also built with Qt_6.9.2. It is an Unstable version.

The "qmake6" is a component of Qt, and the error you are getting shows that your system might not be properly prepared for Qt framework yet. Having it preloaded does not mean that the Qt is automatically installed. If you do not have the Qt Creator Icon on desktop, then you may have to do all or some of the followings: Reboot your system and you should see the Qt Creator on your desktop. Now you are ready to install SavvyCAN because one of the above commands should have installed "qmake6" for your system. Try it and let us know. |

OK i installed qmake6 on my OS (Trixie) with the command "sudo apt install
qt6-base-dev" it looks to have installed and now echoes back a location
when i issue the command "which qmake6" However when I try running it from
within the SavvyCAN Directory it gives me the error seen in the
screengrab below.
[image: Screenshot From 2025-12-21 09-38-19.png]
Now this version of Trixie i am running is built by Rex for uconsole use. I
know for a fact its been tinkered with as far as what packages are
installed. If someone can provide what packages I need installed I can
chase them all down and see if they are there or not.

OK its working!!! Woot Woot ! I must apologize sdyca I thought this
initial email was sent from Collin but after a closer look i see you were
the originator. THANK YOU ! I have it working. ALL but the icon creation
on the desktop. I ran the ./install.sh and it created a plain jane
deskto file but it doesnt execute..I even chmod'd it to 777 still no joy
but hey NO WORRIES!! I will get that.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!
Here is a quick rundown on what I had to do from initial phases after
virgin install of Rex's Trixie OS for uconsole:
1.) git clone https://github.com/collin80/SavvyCAN.git
2.) cd SavvyCAN
3.) git checkout QT6WIP
4.) sudo apt install qt6-base-dev
5.) sudo apt install \
qt6-declarative-dev \
qt6-serialport-dev \
qt6-serialbus-dev \
qt6-tools-dev \
qt6-tools-dev-tools
6.) qmake6
7.) make -j 6

Great! I'm glad you've got it working. I am still investigating about the desktop icon, the same issue with other icons, not just with SavvyCAN's. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

So the problem now is that, if that "plain jane desktop icon" is not working, how do we get to the SavvyCAN windows? Go to the SavvyCAN folder where everything are installed. You should have 2 icons named "SavvyCAN" (not including the SavvyCAN.pro). If you right-click to check the properties of each, one is called SavvyCAN.desktop (332 bytes) and never executes. The other one with larger size should be the one to open up the SavvyCAN windows. But after I executed the "./install.sh" to create a desktop icon, that executable SavvyCAN file disappeared from the SavvyCAN folder. Tell us your experience. |

Thanks to ChatGPT I have a script for you i just tested that will make the
icon on the Desktop as well as placing a launcher under Programmin. I have
a link included below that is working and places the SavvyCAN Launcher in
the Programming Tab. The working script is at the very bottom. I screwed
around and screwed around with ChatGPT trying to get the Desktop Launcher
Icon which worked but everytime you double clicked on it you had to
acknowledge a pop-up menu with the execute option which is a Trixie and XFE
thing that I couldnt seem to get around it.

I'm quite sure that Collin, as an experience programmer of SavvyCAN, has a
good clue of this desktop icon issue.

Yea, I have seen your conversation with ChatGPT. You insisted that the launcher be placed in the Accessories Menu instead of having it in the Programming Menu. What are the advantages of having it under the Accessories by all means? You have really done a very nice investigation. I think this AI method is the best alternative so far when no one is answering our questions. I hope our conversation on any problems and solutions remains here permanently to help those who may need it. I am going through it now, and I will soon let you know about my experience with your script. Just a reminder: in my previous message, I told you that after using the command, "./install.sh" in the SavvyCAN folder, my executable file disappeared; I don't know how and why it happened. Well, before proceeding with your script, that file is necessary. It is called "SavvyCAN" (4.3 MiB) Executable. Make a backup copy of this file because you can not find it anywhere. The only to recover this file is to go back and repeat the SavvyCAN installation command: "make -j 6" |

Yes well now we are both in touch if you ever find yourself in need of a
copy of that file just let me know...as far as the placement of it in
Accessories vs Programming that was just personal preference was all. Even
with that script it still is in Programming....I'll concede and just run
with it there. Yea using Grok or ChatGPT is very handy for the scripting
stuff when no one else is around.

Yea, I have seen your conversation with ChatGPT. You insisted that the

You have really done a very nice investigation. I think this AI method is
the best alternative so far when no one is answering our questions. I hope
our conversation on any problems and solutions remains here permanently to
help those who may need it.
I am going through it now, and I will soon let you know about my
experience with your script.
Just a reminder: in my previous message, I told you that after using the
command, "./install.sh" in the SavvyCAN folder, my executable file
disappeared; I don't know how and why it happened. Well, before proceeding
with your script, that file is necessary. It is called *"SavvyCAN" (4.3
MiB) Executable*. Make a backup copy of this file because you can not
find it anywhere. The only to recover this file is to go back and repeat
the SavvyCAN installation command: "*make -j 6*"

Thanks, Brian. I am writing to confirm that I have tested your SavvyCAN Launcher Script and it works like a charm. So much work to get an installed application to work in the Linux system compared to the Windows Operating System! After struggling for months, just to get the Qt work with SavvyCAN, now we discover that we have to go one more step further to create a launcher, otherwise the installed application is not useful. This is not an isolated case with SavvyCAN: A full installation of Qt should also install Qt Designer, Qt Linguist, Qt Assistant, but only Qt Creator is visible and the rest are hiding in /bin or in /lib/qt6/bin as Designer6, assistant6, linguist6, etc. Another example is Arduino: the version 1.8.19 is preloaded in Trixie (Pi5) and appears in the Programming Menu; if you add it to the Desktop, it will always prompt you to execute. But when you install the Arduino v2.x.x, you will have to create its launcher, just like the SavvyCAN. Since you have struggled for a while, forth and back, with ChatGPT, I would like to summarize the important steps that led to this great script so that readers find it easy to go through fast. Moreover, we do not know how long the link you have given will remain. So, I copy and paste it here. STEP 1 - Verify the Location of "SavvyCAN" App and make it Executable STEP 2 - Create a System-wide Launcher with the following command: OR STEP 3 - Copy and Paste the following "SavvyCAN Launcher Installer" Script into the file created and opened in "Step 2". Then save and exit as follows: #!/bin/bash #=== CONFIGURATION === #=== CHECK SAVVYCAN BINARY === #=== REMOVE EXISTING DESKTOP ICON / SYMLINK === #=== CREATE SYSTEM-WIDE LAUNCHER === #=== MAKE SYSTEM LAUNCHER EXECUTABLE AND TRUSTED === #=== UPDATE DESKTOP & MENU CACHE === echo "✅ SavvyCAN system-wide launcher installed!" 
STEP 4 - Make Executable the newly saved "SavvyCAN Launcher Installer" Script in Step 3 with the following command: STEP 5 - Run the SavvyCAN Launcher Installer Script to install it as a system-wide launcher and desktop icon (optional) with the following command: STEP 6 - Reboot the System if necessary, and check the following Results: The image below shows a successful installation of the SavvyCAN Launcher after some mistakes made with commands. The image below shows "SavvyCAN.desktop" Icon in the directory /usr/share/applications The image below shows SavvyCAN in the Accessories Menu The image below shows SavvyCAN in the Programming Menu The image below shows SavvyCAN Icon on the Desktop. By double-clicking this Icon, the window opens rapidly without any prompt. Pi5 Start Menu => Programming => SavvyCAN => Add to Desktop creates this Icon. With the "Add to Launcher" a single click opens the SavvyCAN Window without prompt too. Wishing you all, a Happy Christmas Holiday, from Canada (December 25, 2025). |

I loaded the newest RaspberryOS onto an sdcard, updated all existing packages, then installed the following packages (sudo apt install):
qt6-base-dev
qt6-base-dev-tools
qt6-pdf-dev
qt6-serialbus-dev
qt6-serialport-dev
qt6-tools-dev
qt6-wayland
qt6-wayland-dev
qt6-wayland-dev-tools
qt6-webview-dev
From there I used git clone to download the SavvyCAN source. Then in the resulting folder:
git checkout QT6WIP
qmake6
make -j 6
This results in a full compile that takes a LONG time on an RPi4. I can compile all of SavvyCAN in about 16 seconds on my normal dev machine but it takes several minutes on the RPi. And... it works! I tested at least to be able to load the program and then load up a capt…
