Same here, brand new DIAL build on all new hardware, GM300, RIM Maxtrac dongle, Pi 3B. I didn't even think to look for this error until I read this thread, and sure enough it "died or something" too. Danny K5CG

Yup. Experiencing the same thing with the latest DIAL using usbradio. I may try simpleusb, but am concerned about delays. I sent this forward to the list a few days ago, and have not heard anything. Something is up with the latest DIAL.
Thanks Bob

I do not recall the error code, but it did have the message verbatim "Died or something!" and I *was* using usbradio.
Before I swapped the DOM and URi to another machine, I was a bit stubborn and reset the box - a lot. It seemed be alive and well for what seemed to be able 12 hours. Sometimes it was less. No idea what the shortest time was, all I remember is SSH and "reboot now" and leaving for work. Getting home eight hours later, sometimes the node would be fine, other times the heartbeat LED on the URI was flashing *really* fast, or just plain off. And the machine in dmesg said "USB blah blah blah, Died or something!"
Maybe the damn old hardware just had a (kernel) panic attack! pun intended.
....more thoughts......... I would like to make the suggestion, unless extenuating circumstances prevent it, is make the transition to simpleusb.
I did not want to do it either, as I was a stubborn idiot, but I did actually like the fact I did not have to perform extra usbradio-tune- menu steps, ie getting the RX audio level to precisely-around 27000 to make the DSP happy.
Also, while others may have gotten ctcssfrom=dsp to work, but radio hardware just does a better job at CTCSS, and does not require extra work to make it... work.
I figure for that case, and some others, why have a computer do analog stuff when analog hardware does it infinitely better?

Bob,
I got the "Died or something" error before in the past. I laughed for days after I saw that, programmers got jokes!
The issue with mine was the USB hardware in the computer was failing. I have no idea what, but something was. It "Died or something!"
Not really sure what that error really meant, I took the DOM (flash memory module with 40 pin header instead of USB, I was using a neoware thin client computer with Limey Linux) and put the DOM in another machine, attached the URi and all was well.
Gotta love cryptic errors!
