chan_dstar : missing source code of dextra_cli
As far as I know that source code was never released unfortunately. I'd love it if someone where to prove me wrong offering the code. 73 kb9mwr -------- Quote -------- Hi, I'm trying to connect app_rpt with my dstar reflector. I'm using "chan_dstar" channel driver, and I'm following the readme included with chan_dstar.c I need a dextra client called "dextra_cli", which seems to be a part of RtpDir from KI4LKF. I found an executable versions of "dextra_cli" for Windows and Linux, but I don't know which is the CPU target. This executable does not run on my machine (Debian 8 on x86 VM), and I didn't find the source code to recompile it. Does someone know where to find the source code for "dextra_cli" ? Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

Wow ! Hamradio community has still progress to do about adoption of standard protocols and open-source, HI :-) More pragmatically, it seems I'll encounter somme difficulties in my project ;-) Do we know on which platform the original "Linux" dextra_cli executable can be run ? For now, a workaround would be to run the Windows version of the executable in a dedicated Windows VM. But it's not very efficient... If no other suggestions, I'll try that... 73 de TK1BI
This has come up before. Steve is correct. Scott never released the source. Previously I suggested dumping chan_dstar and dextra_cli for a open solution. Not that I'm D-Star guy. Everything to build a asterisk to d-star gateway is open source. To get the audio in and out of asterisk, use chan_usrp. Chan_usrp will take PCM (analog) and send it to asterisk. It will take audio from asterisk and send it out PCM. This is done via UDP. COS and PTT signaling is included. DummyRepeater from G4KLX is open source and could be modified to accept the PCM from chan_usrp. It would also have to send PCM to chan_usrp. Add a vocoder (DV3000), ircDDBGateway and away you go. At the end of the day, you have a open source solution, except for the vocoder. The block diagram is pretty much what we did for DMRGateway. 73, Steve N4IRS On 12/22/2016 7:33 AM, Toussaint OTTAVI wrote:

Thank you for the info. I'm a newbie, I'm discovering things on the go ;-) I just realized yesterday that I had the source for chan_dstar, but not for dextra_cli. Of course, I fully agree with you about Open-source solutions and open protocols ! Our goal here is to build a VoIP network (and an underlying TCP/IP Hamnet network) with Open-source software. Our plans are to inter-connect any available protocol. Analog repeaters are ready. Now, we are working on DStar, because we have some users interested. And DMR will come later.
To get the audio in and out of asterisk, use chan_usrp. Chan_usrp will take PCM (analog) and send it to asterisk. It will take audio from asterisk and send it out PCM. This is done via UDP. COS and PTT signaling is included.
DummyRepeater from G4KLX is open source and could be modified to accept the PCM from chan_usrp. It would also have to send PCM to chan_usrp. Add a vocoder (DV3000), ircDDBGateway and away you go. At the end of the day, you have a open source solution, except for the vocoder.
I was not aware of that possibility. I'll have a look. 73 de TK1BI
