[App_rpt-users] Using SVN copy of Asterisk on RaspberryPi (and "usb.h")

Sat Oct 27 02:43:25 UTC 2012

Hi mate!

I've had Real Life (TM) intervene in the meantime since my last email,
and I've not been able to invest any time in the project.

Additionally, theres not been any responses to my post on the RPi
forums regards the information I need to get the kernel sources needed
to compile the Zaptel drivers, and potentially the Asterisk
implementation. I've just checked.

Its rather unfortunate, I'm sure I'm not the only one asking for
kernel driver source. However, as a point of interest, if you want to
port Plan9 to RPi, you can now do so, the video drivers are open
source...

There is a git repo that I can get the details for you again, if
needed. The only reason I haven't downloaded this was the fact its
over 200MB, and I have a data limit of 2,000MB per fortnight. I have a
little extra data at the moment, I might hook it all back up again
tomorrow, and try downloading the git. Set it to download before I go
to sleep, wake up again about 5am, and see where I'm up to.

I'm not sure how helpful this is for you, at this present time. If I
can help out in any other way, let me know, I'll see what I can come
up with. To get URIs working with the RPi would solve next years radio
application, our redesign of the RTCM won't be ready by early October
next year.

Actually, I'm going to go hook the RPi back up to its monitor and
cabling (I have a VESA mount plate for it), and get it working on the
network again - as mentioned, I'll set it to download just before I
take my tablets tonight, and let it run in off peak, hopefully there
isn't too much HSPA traffic on my local cell.

If the git is downloaded by tomorrow morning, I'll have a crack at
those kernel sources, and see if I can get Zaptel working. If that
works, then Asterisk should fall into line after it. All being well.

Now if only the local electronics shop could get me the 5 pin DIN
plugs and sockets I've ordered so I can hook up my SRM9000 to my
URI...

Hope this helps, even if we both know it isn't much at this point. Let
me know if theres anything else I can do.

Shane.
