I've got Dahdi from Digium (dahdi-linux-complete-2.10.0.1+2.10.0.1) and applied the patches from ohnosec svn. hunk 3 on patch 2 needed to be applied by hand, the rest went fine. Dahdi is compiled and installed. I have the ohnosec svn asterisk compiled as well. Copied the sounds in place and started to configure asterisk. I've run into a bit of a problem while loading the pciradio module however. I don't know enough about kernel coding in linux to know where to begin debugging this. does your version of dahdi on the hamvoip.org site work ok? perhaps it's new bug in the Digium code, and I should go with yours in place of it. > [ 4.640361] pciradio 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0140 -> 0143) > [ 4.640446] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 > [ 4.641765] IP: [<ffffffff811b330e>] vsnprintf+0xbf/0x427 > [ 4.642498] PGD 0 > [ 4.642808] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP > [ 4.643307] CPU 3 > [ 4.643579] Modules linked in: pciradio(O+) snd_pcsp(-) coretemp dahdi(O) snd_pcm snd_page_alloc snd_timer efivars snd soundcore pcspkr crc_ccitt shpchp joydev evdev acpi_cpufreq mperf button processor ext4 crc16 jbd2 mbcache sg sd_mod crc_t10dif usbhid hid ahci libahci libata xhci_hcd igb scsi_mod usbcore i2c_algo_bit i2c_core dca thermal thermal_sys usb_common [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] > [ 4.649576] > [ 4.649703] Pid: 461, comm: modprobe Tainted: G O 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 Supermicro X9SBAA/X9SBAA > [ 4.650939] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811b330e>] [<ffffffff811b330e>] vsnprintf+0xbf/0x427 > [ 4.652029] RSP: 0018:ffff880233d53c68 EFLAGS: 00010297 > [ 4.652718] RAX: 0000000000000009 RBX: ffff880233d53ce0 RCX: 0000000000000009 > [ 4.653632] RDX: ffffffffa0264204 RSI: ffffffffa0264204 RDI: 0000000000000028 > [ 4.654543] RBP: 0000000000000028 R08: 0000000000000009 R09: 00000000fffffffb > [ 4.655453] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffea0000c17478 R12: 0000000080000027 > [ 4.656368] R13: 0000000000000028 R14: ffffffffa026420d R15: 000000007fffffff > [ 4.657292] FS: 00007f3545dad700(0000) GS:ffff88023fd80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > [ 4.658338] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 > [ 4.659074] CR2: 0000000000000028 CR3: 0000000235d42000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 > [ 4.659991] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 > [ 4.661030] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 > [ 4.662031] Process modprobe (pid: 461, threadinfo ffff880233d52000, task ffff880233d15140) > [ 4.663103] Stack: > [ 4.663376] 000000000000ffff ffffffff810ed3ca ffffffff81617d50 ffffffffa0264204 > [ 4.664463] 0000000000008024 0000000000000000 0000000000000100 ffff88023500c000 > [ 4.665575] ffff880236fcb000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffff88023500c004 > [ 4.666405] Call Trace: > [ 4.666586] [<ffffffff810ed3ca>] ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xbe/0xce > [ 4.667225] [<ffffffff811b36bc>] ? sprintf+0x46/0x4b > [ 4.667876] [<ffffffff8102bc39>] ? x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent+0x19/0x40 > [ 4.701652] [<ffffffffa02631b3>] ? pciradio_init_one+0x286/0xa47 [pciradio] > [ 4.735463] [<ffffffff81071321>] ? arch_local_irq_save+0x11/0x17 > [ 4.769150] [<ffffffff811c7daf>] ? local_pci_probe+0x39/0x68 > [ 4.803104] [<ffffffff811c8858>] ? pci_device_probe+0xcd/0xfa > [ 4.836102] [<ffffffff81253451>] ? driver_probe_device+0xa8/0x138 > [ 4.868469] [<ffffffff81253530>] ? __driver_attach+0x4f/0x6f > [ 4.900826] [<ffffffff812534e1>] ? driver_probe_device+0x138/0x138 > [ 4.933650] [<ffffffff81252080>] ? bus_for_each_dev+0x4f/0x7a > [ 4.966721] [<ffffffff81252dea>] ? bus_add_driver+0xa5/0x1f5 > [ 4.999332] [<ffffffffa0273000>] ? 0xffffffffa0272fff > [ 5.032044] [<ffffffff81253958>] ? driver_register+0x8d/0xf5 > [ 5.064492] [<ffffffffa0273000>] ? 0xffffffffa0272fff > [ 5.097220] [<ffffffff811c9073>] ? __pci_register_driver+0x4d/0xb6 > [ 5.129685] [<ffffffffa0273000>] ? 0xffffffffa0272fff > [ 5.161706] [<ffffffffa027301b>] ? pciradio_init+0x1b/0x1000 [pciradio] > [ 5.195863] [<ffffffff81002085>] ? do_one_initcall+0x75/0x12c > [ 5.230101] [<ffffffffa0273000>] ? 0xffffffffa0272fff > [ 5.264410] [<ffffffff81075c39>] ? sys_init_module+0x10c/0x25b > [ 5.296798] [<ffffffff81355ed2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b > [ 5.327170] Code: 02 00 00 40 0f b6 ce ff 24 cd 18 81 42 81 4c 39 e5 73 1a 4c 89 e1 48 63 f0 48 89 ef 48 29 e9 48 39 ce 48 89 d6 0f 4e c8 48 63 c9 <f3> a4 4c 01 c5 e9 28 03 00 00 8b 13 83 fa 30 73 0d 89 d0 83 c2 > [ 5.393777] RIP [<ffffffff811b330e>] vsnprintf+0xbf/0x427 > [ 5.424536] RSP <ffff880233d53c68> > [ 5.454821] CR2: 0000000000000028 > [ 5.484507] ---[ end trace 57c400f595babbfa ]--- -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net

Doug, I have the latest 7.8 Debian installed on my new server here. From what I've read, zaptel will no longer compile against the newer kernels. Can you confirm that the current trunk works on debian or do I indeed need to grab dahdi and use the dahdi patches then compile asterisk? From what I'm reading it needs dahdi. (what a stupid name. Zapata was at least cool) 73's W9CR -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net

New in the Asterisk world - D-Star gateway ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hi, I'm new on this list, so here's a quick presentation. My callsign is TK1BI, I'm living in Corsica, and I've got some experience about building and maintaining analog repeaters and interconnects all around our small island in the Mediterranean sea. I'm now doing my first experiments in the digital world. Working with Open Source software, and with "open" systems, seems obvious to me ;-) I built my first Asterisk/app_rpt from source on a HummingBoard (a Raspberry Pi clone, powered by an ARM7 quad-core Freescale iMX6). The operating system is Debian. The next step will be to order some low-cost USB soundcards, and connect them to a pair of radios, to create a test repeater. In the meantime, we are reactivating and old project of HamNet WiFi network, to carry TCP/IP to the mountains where our VHF/UNF repeaters are located. Anyway, there is some interest here for D-Star. Lots of people are buying rigs, and having fun with it. Even if D-Star does not match my idea of an "open" system, I'm thinking about the possibilities to make a gateway between analog, AllStar and D-Star world. But I didn't find much information about that. What I understood is that I need to use the additional software "RptDir" with a hardware AMBE codec. There are some web sites about that, but it's unclear for me if these are currently supported projects or not. Then, here are some questions : - About RptDir, it seems I also need a piece of software called "dstar2analog", but I didn't find it anywhere - About the hardware codec : the "DV Dongle" seems expensive to me, and I didn't find any reseller in Europe. The DV3000 card for Raspberry Pi seems more interesting to me, but is it supported for what I want to do ? - Are there already some attempts to interconnect Asterisk routing with D-Star routing (ie, more than just sending the audio between each other) ? Thank you in advance for your answers, and for pointing out some interesting ressources about that. Hope to be QRV soon :-) 73 de TK1BI

Automatic disconnect after totime
by Stephen Curtis 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Hi there all, Does anyone know if I am able to have my hub automatically disconnect a node that times out? e.g. If I have a node connected to me that has a carrier with no audio and blocking the system up. Thanks in advance Steve M0HOY

Addressing Multiple RTCM's, Beeagles, etc.
by Wayne 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

As we’re about to go live with our first repeater it came to me a question about addressing. Does each RTCM et al have a method of addressing an individual device, like an ESN of sorts? Thank you.

DMR sandbox
by Robert Newberry 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Anyone doing anything with this DMR sandbox? If I read it right it does not provide access to the DMR-MARC. Although maybe if your part of the sandbox that's a sub network? I see they specifically mention Allstar.

Are the O'l Digium FXS or FXO pci cards Supported?
by Steve Gladden 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Or will they work? I remember reading they worked on old versions of apt_rpt I also figure they may be a better option than USB but relatively rare/expensive. I was just given a bag of them and was wondering if they'd be useful on Acid and what's going on now. Thanks! Steve Gladden Michigan Broadband Systems Connecting Your Business!

KD6GDB, I like your signature. You ought to be getting rich about now.. HI I agree about the USB 2.0 PCI cards but they seem to be getting scarce. Still available but limited vendors according to Amazon, Newegg, and Fry's Electronics. But two fobs per bus is the limit I've experienced, and that's only in testing not under hard use. That is still TBD.

Our initial approach is to use a PC and try to run all eight radios off of it. For testing we're using modified fobs running on USB 2.0 ports and when we try to use more than four, things break up, sound bad, etc. I've found that CentOS 5 that comes on the ACID disk doesn't support USB 3.0, which we were thinking might offer more bandwidth and handle the added fobs. Has anyone used this PC based approach for 4+ nodes using USB fobs? Or could I get some suggestions as to how to approach the implementation of eight nodes without using fobs or the discontinued 4 port PC card? Or is it a viable solution to use a BBB for every radio and connect them all with Ethernet switches and treat each BBB like a separate server. Any ideas are appreciated Cole AA7RD
