AMBEServer Install for PiDV
|
Greetings,
New guy here. Trying to get AMBEServer installed on my Pi using Method 2 here: http://nwdigitalradio.com/dv3000-ambeserver/ I get as far as the ls command (below) before things go wrong. When I run ls, the Makefile is not there. I am not a Linux geek, but can generally follow directions. What am I doing wrong? 73, Mike WM4B
apt-get install git

John,
Typing ‘make’ yields the following:
pi@raspberrypi:~/DV3000 $ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. pi@raspberrypi:~/DV3000 $

Mike, It appears the makefile is now missing, but no worries -- try this approach https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum#Quick-Build-on-Linux (Read the whole page.

I'll give it a try, but I'm NOT running a DVThumb. I have the DV3000 (PiDV) attached to the GPIO headers.

I appreciate the help. It's frustrating for a newbie to have to chase problems with out-of-date documentation. I just suffered through all that getting AllStar up and running. 73, Mike WM4B

Simple - except when it's not. It appears that those directions are for the DVThumb, not my PiDV (DV3000). I guess this will work if I do the following: $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt init_uart_clock=3686400 $ sudo nano /etc/inittab Replace: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 With: #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100 $ sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txtd Replace: wc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait With: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait If I can get it to work, perhaps I'll write it up. Unfortunatly, time to work on this is limited; I'll see what happens. Thanks and 73, Mike WM4B

John, You seriously underestimate my ability to confuse myself! I did: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dl5di/OpenDV/master/DummyRepeater/DV3000/AMBEserver.c gcc -o AMBEserver AMBEserver.c sudo cp AMBEserver /usr/sbin So I now have AMBEServer in /usr/sbin. Looking over the rest of the page: I did not have the directory "/etc/opendv", so I created it. At that point, the XYL revoked my kitchen pass. Looks like tonight I need to create ambeserver-ttyAMA0.conf as follows: # # Configuration file for the AMBEserver program started by systemd. # Adding flags to AMBESERVER_FLAGS will pass this to the daemon. # For example, to change the speed to 460800, use the following line: # AMBESERVER_FLAGS="-s 460800" # UDP_PORT=2460 AMBESERVER_FLAGS="" Am I getting warm? 73, Mike WM4B

While this thread is running i might as well ask, how easy or hard is it to have the Pi with PiDV board here at home running AMBEServer which in turn is linked to my Debian server VM connected to an XLX reflector of my choice ? So far i have a DVSwitch based bridge running from AllStar to DMR on my VM, is it possible to have this configured as an AllStar to D-Star (XLX) bridge instead ?

AMBEserver can run over networking, either LAN or Internet. If you want to access it from a VM at a remote location, you will need to know the public IP address at home and forward the UDP port to the Pi (for added security, you may want to only forward from/to your VMs public IP address). I will leave it to others to discuss the configuration for your specific combination.

Hi John.
I dont have a static ip from my internet provider but i plan to use my home noip.com account which is running in my fibre router and have a static ip assigned to the Pi on my home network, so i think all i need is instructions and ports number to link the VM via the internet to the Pi, any help would be very much appreciated. 73.

When you get it figured out, I hope you can document it; I'm heading in the same direction if I can get AMBEServer loaded and running. Mike WM4B

Dynamic DNS (like noip.com) is fine if your address doesn't change during a session (and your app can take a DNS name). Otherwise, you could run something like openvpn on your VM and VPN to it from your local network (or go further and actually get some routable IP address space ala Bringing Net44 and IPV6 to your Ham Radio Station via VPN).

John,
Done. The following is the result after issuing “sudo systemctl status ambeserver@ttyAMA0”
I don’t know what the heck I’m looking at!

Mike,
Set up the opendv user:
sudo useradd -s /bin/false opendv
then
sudo usermod -G dialout sudo usermod -G gpio sudo usermod -G audio
In /etc/opendv create 3 files: ambeserver-ttyAMA0.conf ambeserver-ttyS0.conf ambeserver-ttyUSB0.conf
Each will contain: # # Configuration file for the AMBEserver program started by systemd. # Adding flags to AMBESERVER_FLAGS will pass this to the daemon. # For example, to change the speed to 460800, use the following line: # AMBESERVER_FLAGS="-s 460800" #
UDP_PORT=2460 AMBESERVER_FLAGS="-r"
create a file in /etc/systemd/system named ambeserver@.service
Containing: [Unit] Description=DV3000 Daemon After=network.target serial-getty@%i.service dev-%i.device Conflicts=serial-getty@%i.service OnFailure=serial-getty@%i.service

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Startup and enable ambeserver
sudo systemctl enable ambeserver@ttyAMA0 sudo systemctl start ambeserver@ttyAMA0 sudo systemctl status ambeserver@ttyAMA0

That would suggest that ttyAMA0 is the correct one. (3B+ would be different) Send me the output of these commands: sudo grep opendv /etc/group sudo grep opendv /etc/passwd ls -l /dev/ttyAMA0 sudo systemctl status ambeserver@ttyAMA0 BTW - I will be offline most of the rest of the day after about 1 hour.
