Timer code has been updated and is now accurate. Timers were never accurate in Allstar code prior to this The weather condition and temperature have been added to the time routine. DTMF pass through has been simplified and now works. A problem in the wireless code has been corrected. A CPU turbo mode script has been added. Updates are always announced on the arm allstar forum. It is finally here. The hamvoip V1. 5 release. This is truly a fork from the original Acid release but certainly not in a bad way. Cerner Interview Questions Software Engineer. There are literally hundreds of changes to the code including bug fixes, improvements, and additions that will make it the best small board Allstar OS out there. The biggest improvement is the ability to do on line updates. No more re writing the SD card every time a change is made. Once installed future updates will be as easy as a single keystroke. This will include kernel and security updates. Please see the readme file for the V1. We highly recommend the RPi. Future code will support both the RPi. RPi. 3. Note that the RPi. RPi. 3 has better performance specs. The Beagle. Bone Black will be supported for security and bug fixes and may have a release for additional features but users should consider phasing out the BBB at some point in the future. Given the low cost of these boards, 3. RPi. 3 the extremely low power requirements, no moving parts, low heat, and many other advantages it makes little sense anymore to use a PC to run Allstar. The RPi. 3 can run a non radio hub or a dual radio node easily. Think of it, you could save enough in a year retiring a power guzzling PC to buy several RPi. These are the current releases in the download section. BBB V1. 2. 2 simpleusb Channel Driver update to eliminate echo on repeaters, added pre emphasis and audio delay squelch tail elimination, fixed phone and web transceiver codec problem. RPi. 2 3 V1. 5 This is the latest RPi. See the Download link below for more detailed information on the releases. We hope you will like the latest hamvoip V1. This is a volunteer effort and sometimes things get delayed. Please join the arm allstar forum for the latest news and information and discussion about the BBB and RPi. We are often asked why Allstar with all of the new RF digital repeaters and their VOIP connection schemes out there. The best answer is open source, quality audio, and freedom to do what you want. Dstar, Fusion, DMR, etc are all at least partially if not completely proprietary systems. In most cases the VOIP connection system that makes them somewhat like Allstar is proprietary. Code plugs, Rooms, etc. It also makes a system which is managed much like IRLP. The individual users has little control other than to connect somewhere. Then there is the lousy audio that goes along with the current Amateur Radio digital RF schemes. Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan Remote Control Installation on this page. Allstar connects RF systems with full duplex quality audio. It also gives the user a choice in how and where they connect. Private or public group or individual connections can be setup quite easily. If you are in a restricted living environment like a retirement home or HOA that does not allow antennas Allstar gives you the radio feel without an obtrusive antenna or big expense. You could setup a simplex node in your apartment or dwelling and have local coverage with in a few blocks to several miles between your handheld and you own personal node. Couple that with the ability to setup connections to all your buddies that also have nodes and you have your own talk group with everyone using real radios to access. You also have the ability to access via computer, phone, Echolink, and many other methods. The advent of the inexpensive small board computers and very easy scripted setup make getting on Allstar easier than ever. A savvy user who has the ability to make some modifications and build some simple circuity could get on Allstar for well under 7. A totally plug and play system minus the node radio would be no more than 1. For repeater operators Allstar is a complete repeater controller that probably has more flexibility and capability than any repeater controller on the market. It is certainly cheaper. Because it runs in Linux and is open source the user has full flexibility to use scripts, timers, multiple ports, etc. So if you like to call your own shots come join the friendly world of Allstar. You will be surprised how easy it is to get started and a world of adventure awaits you. Ever since the Raspberry Pi was introduced over two years ago it has been the goal of many to make Asterisk Allstar work on that platform. Over the years there have been several attempts which fell short. In January, 2. 01. I decided to give it another try. I thought I had it but unfortunately it did not provide the kind of performance you would expect for Allstar. It worked fairly well audio wise in USB 1. I was using the stock Raspbien Debian on the RPi kernel with DAHDI and the latest Asterisk Allstar SVN. Thinking that it might be a Debian issue I went on to compile the Allstar package in both Debian Wheezy and in Ubuntu Saucy on a PC. Both versions worked fine but Saucy required a kernel recompile to include the OSS sound code. This, I thought, proved that Debian should work on the ARM processors assuming the IO and CPU could handle it. So I moved to the Beagle. Bone Black. The Black is a competitor to the RPi with a faster processor, a better IO structure, and a version 7 arm processor verses Version 6 in the RPi. It is the same physical size as the RPi and costs about 1. My first attempt used Debian and the results were better than on the RPi but the DAC the side that converts what you hear on your end audio was not good. I finally decided to try Archlinux. Archlinux is a leading edge barebones linux that comes with very little add on stuff. No graphics or packages that would not ordinarily be needed are part of the virgin installation. While it is not a hold your hand Linux it was surprisingly easy to compile and get Allstar running. Maybe it was all the experience I had working at this for months before that made it seem easier but in any event I was tremendously surprised that it worked. I had almost given up on ARM Allstar working and I could hardly believe my ears that it was working so well. It is hard to explain why as the basic kernel is the same. It has to be in the ARM interface or in the less bloated Archlinux OS somewhere. CPU utilization was at least half what it had been on the Debian releases. During the initial tests of the BBB I hooked up with Dave, KB4. FXC and we worked together to produce the first release in June 2. Shortly thereafter Chris, W0. AMN also joined the team. The first release was a success although still early in the Linux kernel development for the ARM processor. This lead to some minor USB issues but overall the project was widely accepted.
