Here is the current saga with the AllStarNode: + +I got the SHARI kit built and the node online. I decided after a little thinking it would be +easier to get the SHARI hat running on the alternative SBC I bought. The only pins it requires +on the GPIO header are an exact match; power and UART. The MMDVM also only requires UART, but it +does use additional lines (pins 38 and 40) on the RPi's header for firmware update. + +The current issue is that despite claiming software compatibility, it doesn't have any. There's no +easy way I've found...yet, of getting it to boot existing Pi images. I don't think. Let me go jam this thing +in the board.... + +And no. They said it was Raspbian compatible; what they didn't tell you is they use a *custom* image. + +The alternative is to install ASL via repos on a Debian image. This in itself is easier than trying to build a +MMDVM hotspot from scratch. The only downside to that is forums claim the stability of ASL with this thing is +poor compared to hamvoip. + +Dammit. This is why I'm done with Pi. It's no more open than any other PC platform and they're doing a cash grab. diff --git a/pistar.md b/pistar.md index 3caae10..4d207bc 100644 --- a/pistar.md +++ b/pistar.md @@ -1,9 +1,9 @@ --- layout: page2 -title: NQ4T's Pi-Star (Offline) -#sidebar: 1 +title: NQ4T's Pi-Star +sidebar: 1 order: 6 ---
-I shipped my hotspot ahead of me in the direction of Dayton. It will be offline until I return.
+I hope to add Allstar Node stuff soon
