Hi Derek, I am planning to do some better instructions. However, if you go to the files section of this group, you will find files with instructions in their description.

Are you using a NW Digital Radio ThumbDV™ or PiDV? (e.g. USB Connected or GPIO Connected) Are you using Linux?

That's not logical. AMBEserver listens to one serial device and one UDP port transferring packets between clients and the AMBE-3000 chip. Any talk groups, reflectors, etc. and the connection to those

#ambeserver

AMBEserver is a rather trivial program, it is not strongly dependent on the underlying OS (Unix/Linux distributions) and you can run multiple instances simultaneously. Just select a UDP port for the n

#ambeserver

Sometimes the ThumbDV™ will get some bad data on the USB (another program hitting it or such) to start and the reinsert will fix the problem.

This is usually a user/group/permission problem. The Compass Linux images are older and mostly deprecated. They can work, but I generally start with a newer Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian - Buster

#ambeserver

Point us to which directions/image you are using. Some are outdated or missing an element.

You may need a USB device driver such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller -- but hooking directly to a phone may be a power drain as Gwen points out.

Ed, The RPi4 requires the newer Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian). RPi4 was released June 24, 2019 along with an updated kernel (4.19?) to support it. The 2018 Compass image would not have that supp

They were written a while ago. Use python2 (python2.7)

Look at https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/1520#Quick-Build-on-Linux and the test files in the files section.

There are a couple of different applications. We need to know what you are trying to do. What application and how you have set it up, etc.

I know of no reason why it should not work on RPi4. What are you trying to do and what are you seeing happen?

Create a user opendv and add them to the dialout group

BTW, ThumbDV™ is the only AMBE-3000 USB device from NW Digital Radio. The test programs for it are not guaranteed to work with other manufacturers' products, nor do we provide advice on their use.

#anbeserver #ambeserver

Original AMBEserver (the source is in the files section of this group), has virtually no development dependencies to compile.

#anbeserver #ambeserver

Should work. Compass Linux is deprecated, the UDRC/DRAWS™ driver support is now in Raspbian Buster.
