Interesting! Certainly smaller than my FitPC, but you knew that, cheaper too. Its a single core 1GHz x86, whereas my FitPC is a dual core 1GHz. I imagine its all passively cooled Eric? I was planning to run Allstar on a single core 1GHz ARM at some point in the future, Anthony mentioned in his first post two weeks ago he hopes to port the software to RaspberryPi (not to bring up the debate again, I'm only mentioning it for completeness - my goal is to run chan_voter, which DOESN'T need USB) and I think it would be simple to port to other ARM platforms, for the sake of argument, the Beagle Board, running newer kernel revisions. My FitPC does get quite warm Eric, even under "no load" conditions. I'm not entirely certain what it would do in 35+ degree Celsius heat in the middle of the Australian bush. I hope "work fine," not "explode"! So that might be a consideration for a totally passively cooled unit. My unit is going to be used to conduct a RTCM network, using chan_voter. None of the USB interfaces will be used, say, for URIs or other sound fobs. It'll be connected to the remote stations by long shot wifi links (Ubiquiti Bullet2s and Loco2s over ethernet). Eric, if you're going to use the USB ports on the 3350-AP, have a look at the structure of the USB hubs inside the computer. That'll tell you alot about whether you can use the sound fob with other devices, or you'll run into issues like the RPi. USB performance is critical, and I'm uncertain what the "on chip" USB ports would be like for such an integrated chipset. I hope this helps - technically, it should run it, from a "raw performance" standpoint. However, the practicality might be a little different. I do hope it works - please let me know how you go, I'm rather interested! That is a cheaper computer than the FitPC! On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 8:54 AM, Eric Guth <eric@efratnetworks.com> wrote:

Shane,

What do you think about the eBox 3350-AP for running Allstar?

This is good news, of course.

I imagine the Arch Linux with allstar would run on a FitPC-3? This is just an idea of mine at the moment, nothing more. I would like to get the chan_voter module working, in particular.

I will await the LiveCD.

Keep up the good work!

Hi all, Just an update, the Arch Linux version of allstar has been stable for 2 weeks now on the repeater VK2RCZ. If you are happy to compile the allstar code, I have updated my modified version to https://github.com/anthcp/Arch-allstar. You may still have to fine tune the makefiles like add a symlink for the ar library but it does show the code changes.... We will make a Live CD in the future sometime....

Regards

Anthony, VK2ACP
