      <br>
      Just wanted to congratulate you on your efforts in porting Allstar
      to the BeagleBone Black. I just got my BBB board today and have a
      node up and running with no issues. Took me about 3 hours to set
      up, but mostly because I realized the BBB uses a microSD card,
      which I didn't have one on hand. I had to go to Walmart and get
      one because it is close and open at 9:30PM.<br>
      <br>
      I am using the simpleusb.conf, which I have never used, but works
      fine.<br>
      <br>
      The TI chip does get a bit hot, so I put a heat sink on it to
      help.<br>

                                            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

                                            address questions specific
                                            to the BBB and Allstar to

                                            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 clear="none">
                                            <br clear="none">
                                            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 clear="none">
                                            <br clear="none">
                                            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 clear="none">
