asl (hamvoip) bridge to DMR

Im trying to setup an asl<>dmr
My allstar is working and have 2 nodes 1 public and one 1999. How do I add dvswitch to the allstar rpi? The instx I have use apt-get (which doesnt work w hamvoip version.. Can I embed dvswitch to the asl rpi and assign 1dmr tg to the private node that will talk to analog and digital? I can then link to my asl transmitter node . Other thread I read was trying to use 1 asl rpi and one dvswitch rpi. Not what I'm trying to do

The DVSwitch packages are built to be installed by apt to a Debian
system. HAMVOIP is built on Arch. If I had to install DVSwitch on
HAMVOIP, I would take the DVSwitch Server RPi image and copy the
files over to Arch. It's a lot of work but doable.

Thanks Steve
since the allstar is already up and running, what directory would the DVSwitch RPi files be put in? Is it all the image files or just the files in /opt? Thanks John

Off the top off my head:

/opt The systemd unit files for the DVSwitch programs in /lib/systemd/system /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/dvs /var/lib/dvswitch /var/lib/mmdvm The logrotate files in /etc/logrotate for the dvswitch logs. /etc/rc.local

Thanks for the info Steve
I will attempt this in near future, for now I have installed Debian ASL on a spare pi and will add in the bridge to see if I can make it work. This thread will make good reference when I attempt it on arch version. Thank You and Mike for doing so much for us! You should open the tip jar for any amount. 73 K1IF

You should not have a problem installing on ASL 1.01 1: MAKE SURE you pin the kernel / header (from the readme) There may have been updates to the operating system and AllStarLink since this image was built. Run the following commands after the first time you boot. sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo reboot Then add the repo for DVSwitch Server (from <https://github.com/DVSwitch/DVSwitch-System-Builder>) cd /tmp wget http://dvswitch.org/buster chmod +x buster ./buster apt-get update -y apt-get install dvswitch-server -y Let me know if you have any problems.

i went into nano and edited dvswitch.list and saved but when i run ./add_buster from /tmp it's somehow changing back to original :
# Official DVSwitch repository deb http://dvswitch.org/DVSwitch_Repository hamradio
# i did 2x and went back into nano to make sure the changes took but after running ./add_buster it had went back to orig. sorry to be a pain

John,

If once you edit the dvswitch.list file, there is no need to run add_buster again. Just run apt-get update and then apt-get install dvswitch-server Steve

Thank you, i have now installed dvswitch server. I was using the asl to dmr pdf
so should I go back to it to carry on with further instructions on setting up?

Not really, though some info is of value.

I would use the DVSwitch Server menu (dvs) to setup the components. run it as user dvswitch: dvs Go through the basic setup for callsign, dmrid etc. When it asks for USRP port, just press enter. Once that is configured, you will need to check the USRP ports for AB in /opt/Analog_Bridge/Analog_bridge.ini [USRP] address = 127.0.0.1 ; IP address of USRP partner (Allstar/Asterisk or another Analog_Bridge) txPort = 32001 ; Transmit USRP frames on this port rxPort = 34001 ; Listen for USRP frames on this port usrpAudio = AUDIO_UNITY ; Digital -> Analog (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_GAIN, AUDIO_USE_AGC) usrpGain = 1.10 ; Gain factor when usrpAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN (0.0 to 5.0) (1.0 = AUDIO_UNITY) usrpAGC = -20,10,100 ; Set the agc threshold (db), slope (db) and decay (ms) tlvAudio = AUDIO_UNITY ; Analog -> Digital (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_GAIN, AUDIO_BPF) tlvGain = 0.35 ; Gain factor when tlvAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN (0.0 to 5.0) (1.0 = AUDIO_UNITY) The above TX and RX port are the default and correctly match the values in rpt.conf If yours are now different, set them to the above values. For AllStar, you need to use the chan_usrp channel driver. In rpt.conf: Use the pdf as a reference guide. I can tell you very little needs to be changed to make DVSwitch Server work with AllStar (on purpose) Steve

The bridge is working! But the audio on the server has become unacceptable. Even when 1999 is not connected to public node the incoming audio sounds all pinched and distorted on public node. When i connect to 1999, audio recieved from dmr is good but when talking from analog to dmr its pinched and sometimes lags and sometime doesnt even get sent. any thoughts? Only one public node and 1 private node on the Pi

How is the public node configured? pseudo?
