A kernel image with ax25 packet radio modules

[f6bvp]

Hello,
I made a raspbian kernel image including AX.25 modules (ax25, 6pack, netrom, rose, mkiss,...)

From your RaspBerry Pi you can download it using wget

sudo wget http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/lin ... _armhf.deb

To install it :
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.1.9.080312.ax25+_3.1.9.080312.ax25+-10.00.Custom_armhf.deb

Ignore the error message about symbolic link.
This is my first debian package !

Edit /boot/config.txt and add a line at the end with
# for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt
kernel vmlinuz-3.1.9.080312.ax25+

reboot

Thanks. I will give it a try when I am home. (g8kig).

So who will be the first to run an FBB BBS on a raspberry Pi?
If you plan on using an RS-232 connection to a TNC don't try using a USB to RS-232 adapter. The USB can be unreliable. It is better to use he serial port on the GPIO (/dev/ttyAMA0). There are plenty of 3.3V logic to RS-232 adapters around using the MAX3232 chip. This is very reliable at 9600bd and still no problems at higher speeds (I use this port for CAT control at 38400bd).

Good news for amateur radio Raspberry Pi users !

After creating a new system with August 16 raspbian image on my second RPi
and updating (upgrading) the system,
I found that hamradio mkiss, ax25 and rose were already compiled into the kernel.
This is great for this means that there is no need to build a custom kernel for hamradio any more.

My RPi is running very stable for a couple of weeks now, running as an IP gateway / node and BBS system based on Raspbian 'Wheezy' and some extra software.

Some specs:

Hardware:
Raspberry Pi rev2 512MB board
8GB SDHC class 10 card
Nano 802.11n Wifi USB adapter
PL2303 based USB <-> RS-232 cable

TNC:
AEA PK-88 terminal node controller

Software:
Raspbian "Wheezy" OS
AX25 tools 0.0.10rc2
LinuxNode 0.3.2
XFBB 7.05c9

Today I was able to download the fbb.deb file mentioned above and after a few miscues, it
installed (?) I think. Edited the config file and rebooted. Still not sure the program started.
I am really new to Linux so there is the weak link. I had FBB running under Windows and like the way it works. Wonder if there is a "Linux FBB for Dummies" available?

I do have the TNC-X that is available for the Pi too. Will have to see IF the i2ckiss will work with FBB if I can get it going.

Thanks and 73 Clayton N4EV

Clayton,
Any luck with i2c?

I have a TNC-Pi, connected via i2c (gps on uart).
After running

Code: Select all

sudo rm /dev/com1
sudo i2ckiss x  y symlink /dev/com1

(where x is bus 0 for early pi, 1 for pi with mounting holes & y is address set earlier[not 0-3])

I can then run xastir with a kiss tnc connection (/dev/com1)
But after about an hour I get in terminal " i2ckiss: poll failed " & the xastir interface goes into error.
After running the above code again, I can bring the TNC-Pi back up.
