AX25 over UDP is not working on #nw14
|
f6bvp
With NorthWestDigital radio Debian image nw14, AX25 over UDP is not working. Although configuration is correct there is no frames transmitted nor received via the axudp interface. After reinstalling AX.25 libraries and AX.25 apps and utilities everything’s goes well. Thus I want to encourage the NWDigital radio team to update the AX.25 stuff that may be wrongly installed or outdated.
Notice : I am using VE7FET repository.

If you need a beta tester in order to check AX.25 for nwdr15.img image, I volunteer to help. Bernard, f6bvp

Thanks Bernard. The three lib/apps/tools packages are finished & I am working on an AX.25 lib/apps/tools updater which should be ready tomorrow sometime. I'll refresh the image after that. /Basil n7nix

I've checked in a script, ax_verchk.sh, that works similarly to how the hf_verchk.sh script works for updating HF programs. The ax_verchk.sh script checks the version numbers for ax25 lib/apps/tools in Lee Woldanski's ve7fet github repo and compares them to Debian packages I built that live in the n7nix repo. After verifying that the n7nix packages are current it then checks the installed versions of these packages to determine if a new package install is required. # Display help info ~/n7nix/ax25 $ ./ax_verchk.sh -h Usage: [-u][-h] No arguments displays current & installed versions. -u Set application update flag. Intall packages -h display this message. # Display version numbers from ve7fet repo, n7nix repo & # currently installed packages ~/n7nix/ax25 $ ./ax_verchk.sh fet repo: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 nix repo: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 install: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 AX.25 packages are up-to-date. # Do an AX.25 lib/apps/tools update ~/n7nix/ax25 $ ./ax_verchk.sh -u Update AX.25 packages after checking version numbers. fet repo: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 nix repo: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 install: lib: 1.1.3, app: 2.0.1, tool: 1.0.5 AX.25 packages are up-to-date. # First refresh your local copy of the n7nix repo cd cd n7nix git pull # Now run the ax_verchk.sh script cd ax25 ./ax_verchk.sh /Basil n7nix Bernard Pidoux <bernard.f6bvp@...> writes:

Hi Basil,
I installed nwdr15.img and found that AX.25 was running very well using your scripts ax25-start / ax25-stop. In order to complete my system configuration I added a script creating an axudp device for using AX25 over IP/UDP via Internet or via HAMNET (a high speed Ham data network using WiFi used in Germany and France). I called the attached script ax25ipd-start.sh. It must be used after ax25-start. In order to work, the configuration needs /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf file. I found that the distributed one is fine, thus I just made a copy of ax25ipd.conf.dist to ax25ipd.conf in the same directory. There must also be an axudp port declared in /etc/ax25/axports file. For this port I set speed to 115200 and paclen to 253. This axudp port may be used by AX.25 applications such as Node, FPAC, BBS linFBB. listen -chat will display all AX.25 network trafic including udr0, udr1 and axudp. Bernard, f6bvp http://f6bvp.org

I installed nwdr15.img and found that AX.25 was running very wellOK great to hear. Just an FYI, the final nwdr15.img file is not ready yet. In order to complete my system configuration I added a script creatingOK, I made some changes to that script so the temporary output files don't collide with the previously run mkiss command. Please let me know if the ax25ipd-start.sh script I checked in works for you. Also in order for the export command in this script to work you need to run it like this: source ./ax25ipd-start.sh or . ./ax25ipd-start.sh # Test like this: printenv | grep -i axupd and echo $AXUDP ax25ipd-start.sh is in my repository here: https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/blob/master/ax25/ax25ipd-start.sh In order to work, the configuration needs /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf file.Note that the command line argument '-t' for listen: 2.0.1 has changed from previous versions. The latest version of listen defaults to printing a timestamp where as specifying the -t arg turns it off. -t Don't print a timestamp on each dump line.

Hi Basil,
I tried your improved script and found that it stopped in the middle at line with tail -1. I had to changed it in order to make the script run. Please find attached diff file. BTW many thanks for letting me know about option -t that changed. It did not notice that ! 73 de Bernard

I made your change suggestions and started from a default config to see where the script would fail. I found that ax25ipd could fail but still end up with a pid. I've added return value checks for both ax25ipd & kissattach. I'm not sure what program uses the AXUDP environment variable that contains the pseudo term name. https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/blob/master/ax25/ax25ipd-start.sh Thanks Bernard. /Basil f6bvp <f6bvp@...> writes:
