Raspberry Pi D-STAR Gateway
|
"John D. Hays" <john@...>
I've been working on a port of Jonathan's gateway and pcrepeatercontroller software to the ARM processor for the coming UDR56K (http://nwdigitalradio.com) digital radio. It has been running for a couple of months on KF7UFZ gateway (currently B).
I received my $35 Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org) Linux computer yesterday and this evening I had a few minutes after work and copied my port and configuration files over to the Raspberry Pi. I am successfully testing ircDDBGateway with GMSKRepeater (NQMHS board/DUTCH*Star beta firmware). I connected to REF001C to get some traffic and successfully made contacts with 3-4 stations.
I don't happen to have an Icom RP2C here at the shack to test, but Jonathan's ircDDBGateway does support it as a controller. root@raspberrypi:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
