8168 driver
by George Csahanin 03 Jul '09

Was there a change in the linux source that has a better R8168 driver? I only found the driver for 8169, but it seems to run the adapter now in the D945 board. GeorgeC W2DB

Over the past yaer or so, Digium has implemented a very rigorous code review/vetting process, which I feel is not worth investing any time in-- because frankly, I have enough problems to go after and resolve, and we refuse to play "patch catchup drudgery" expending valuable time keeping up with the latest Digium versions when the version we are using works fine for radio users. If someone wants to use the latest asterisk version with app_rpt and the usb channel driver, they'll need to do the app_rpt changes themselves, integrate the patches from our version of asterisk, test it, and correct any problems, or pay someone to do it. They are on their own. This is not to say that we might switch to a newer version of Asterisk at some point in the future, but it will only happen when something is needed in the newer version of Asterisk to either fix or improve app_rpt.

D945 build
by George Csahanin 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

OK, I think it worked but won't be able to try and boot till tonight. It did make teh CF and is a bit over 121MB total. To make it work, I nuked the sudo -E parts and had to make a link from mkdosfs to be mkfs.msdos. This one also choked on grep, and my way was to download the file to my web server and get it from there. Had to do same for lm-sensors.

For two reasons. --one-- The latest Digium sources are not compatible with app_rpt and the usb driver, Getting Digium to incorporate our changes to fix this has been next to impossible. Our solution was to use a patched copy of asterisk 1.4.23-pre and build our system off of that. Yes, we have technically forked Asterisk, but we had no choice. --two- Running a radio system and a phone system off of the same box is just asking for trouble. If the radio system goes down, so does your phone system. I learned this one the hard way a few years ago when my system was configured in this manner. I now run two separate servers to avoid getting complaints form family members when my experiments on the radio system go amok. Also, the phone system works much better with DTMF_RELAX configured to be disabled.

sudo

In making ramdisk.img now get thru make binaries ok, but in make ramdisk it fails out of the gate on sudo. sudo doesn't like the -E option. If I'm running this as root, do I even need sudo? GeorgeC W2DB

Connection to speaker output
by Bill Scholey 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I can't see the forest for the trees.... or similar!!! I'm new to app_rpt and in the process of installing (learning) the hardware and software..starting with something simple I thought.. This is for remote base not a repeater. I have the DMK URI and the XIPAR distro installed. When using IAXRPT I don't hear any receive audio.. transmit is fine both through the client and CLI.. For example *80 I can hear the cw id both on the client and over the air. I am using the speaker conx on an IC28H wired to Mic-in (Pin 9) on the URI. I believe the wiring is ok because I move the URI to a Windows system and using MMVARI I can see waterfall activity when listening on the APRS freq. I don't have test equipment unfortunately. Using my best 1000Hz whistle on a handheld I got rxvoice to "success"??. I've tweaked various settings in usbradio.conf (ie rxdemod=speaker) but still no joy. Now it's probably something obvious but what??? Like I say it's hidden in the forest somewhere.. So any clues for the clueless would be appreciated. Bill ve7qc

Location of source code for usbradio.c and xpmr bits please ?
by MW0CQU 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi all, I started adding app_rpt into an asterisk system here at the end of last year, then other things kept me away from asterisk other than maintaining my home phone system !. Now I have a little more time (before the next calamity!) I thought I'd pick up where I left off But I dont want a turnkey distro at this stage I have app_rpt.c and the digium sources I just want to add usbradio.c and the "xpmr" folder files onto my "development" asterisk box for a "play". I looked over the site, and couldnt find a link, I googled around a lot and found the code in HTML format (with line numbers) but couldn't find the raw source. Where do I get these sources these days please ? I cant see a link to a CVS tree either 73 'CQU No virus found in this outgoing message.
