Allstar Official Release</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Tahoma>Hello and welcome to the first public release
of Allstar on the BeagleBone Black. This represents months of trial and error
testing which first started with the Raspberry Pi back at the beginning of the
year and was finally successful on the BBB platform. We have had several beta
versions out now for over two months with many testers and we had very good
reports. There is more to be done but this is a working system that will allow
many to get rid of their energy consuming PC's with constantly running hard
drives and have an Allstar system that fits in the palm of your hand.
<BR><BR>The web page I have created gives very detailed instructions on how to
download, install, and configure your BBB for use with Allstar. The web page
is:<BR><BR>hamvoip.org<BR><BR>There you will find a link to download the image
and also to join the arm-allstar email list. Please try to address questions
specific to the BBB and Allstar to the arm-allstar list and not the apt-rpt
list.<BR><BR>While the code is the current Acid release there are many
differences in how things are done on the BBB and the OS we are using, Arch
Linux, is much different than Centos or Debian. Please refer to the web page
for detailed info on some of the differences. We also recommend that you NOT
use the nodesetup routine that is offered on the standard Acid release. In
many ways this is faulty and often more trouble than it is worth. For that
reason we have renamed nodesteup on the image and made it non-executable.
Besides what is described on the web page there is a very detailed how-to
describing first time setup of the config files. We encourage you to edit the
existing config files rather than wholesale copying your existing configs on
top of the examples. There is a little learning involved but in the long run
it is good to know how things work by configuring the files on your
own.<BR><BR>We also encourage you to make image backups once you have your
system configured. This will avoid having to recreate your configuration
should a failure of some kind occur. While we have not seen any problems with
power failures and as far as we know not one SD card has ever failed running
Allstar there is always a first time and better safe than sorry.<BR><BR>This
release does not have the backup/restore scripts that we promised but they
will be available soon. Basically what they will do is copy /etc/asterisk and
all directories under it in entirety into a tar file and then you would use
winscp or a similar file copy program to transfer the tar file to another
computer. This would allow you to make updates of the image when new code is
released in the future without losing your former configuration. For now you
can do this manually. See the howto on the web page for instructions on doing
image and directory backups. It is not hard to do and well worth the piece of
mind.<BR><BR>Have fun and I hope you enjoy your new BBB Allstar node. There
will be many more features and upgrades available in the future all of which
will be announced on the arm-allstar email list. There are already plenty of
experienced users on the list that can help you with any problems you might
have.<BR><BR>73 Doug, WA3DSP<BR id=FontBreak></FONT><BR><B><FONT
