I'm not surprised since the ASL image was last touched in late 2019.
All of my nodes I run headless. I never worried about HDMI.
What you may want to do is to find a current Debian image for the
BBB then add ASL beta. I retired the nodes running on the BBB so
maybe it's time to sell my 2 BBB in metal boxes.

Steve and Mike,
I've been using the original Archlinux image on several BBB
servers for >5 years. This weekend, I needed to rebuild one of
those due to corruption in the uSD media. I would much prefer to
run a more current Debian image. I
downloaded ASL_1.01-20191009-armhf-bbb-stretch-image and flashed
it to memory. It boots and runs with SSH access; but the HDMI
interface seems to be disabled. Also, I see that is Debian Wheezy
(v7). I was also not able to install zerotier VPN like more recent
distros allow.
Since the RPi 2,3, &4 boards are virtually unavailable, the
BBB is a good solution for single node applications. Mouser has
thousands of them available NOW. I would humbly ask if you would
be willing to tackle porting current ASL code to this platform.
The ASL beta 2.0.0.6 is very good and is available for RPi and
Intel/AMD platforms. The old Archlinux implementation supports
HDMI, and boots from the coaxial power jack without pressing any
buttons.
Current code on the BBB would be a huge hit for many of us who
can't get RPi boards.
Thanks,
Tom / K5TRA

RF noise hasn’t been a problem. I have BBB boards in half dozen 900 MHz repeaters and simplex nodes (attached photo). I’ve also used a BB in (attached photo) a radioless transceiver. Tom / K5TRA

Thanks. And I’m signed up there, so will look for your next email.
I’ve got a few of these BBB’s laying around from the “before RPi” days. Too small/light for a doorstop.

Mike,
I was able to dig out my BBB and I burned the image. As you report,
you can not ssh in as repeater with a password of
allstarlink. I have no idea how I missed this.
It turns out the issue is not the password, the problem is ssh. I
can't test it right now but I believe you could login via the
console (HDMI and USB keyboard) or via a serial connection.
I do have a way to allow ssh login. Can you mount the SD card on a
Linux machine as root?
If so, navigate to the etc directory on the card.
Add the following to sshd_config:
AllowUsers repeater
Save the file, unmount the SD card, insert the card in the BBB.
Login as repeater with a password of allstarlink
You will be required to change the password.
If you can't do this I will when I get time modify the image and
reupload it to dvswitch.org
Sorry for the confusion,
Steve N4IRS

Thanks, Steve. I’m likely to reimage the SD card. I had the unit powered up for a few weeks anticipating connecting to it and change the SSH port. It’s entirely possible “someone” beat me to it, ha. It’s been unplugged for about a month and I just got back to powering it up to work with it. Good luck with the move.

root and the PW is
root
I also assume this is the hamvoip distribution? If so, you may get better help from the hamvoip folks.
I’ve finally gotten around to making an SD card for the BBB ASL image. I’m trying to log into the unit for the first time with this SD card. I’m connected to it via ssh port 22 just fine and it appears to accept the “repeater” user name. Entering the password
specified in the readme file of “allstarlink” isn’t working. I’ve tried some capitalization perturbations, but no joy. Is there a different pw? Reimage the SD card? Looking for ideas.
Tnx

Hi, Steve.
The bbb version I’m inquiring about is *not* the hv bbb. This is the one the other Steve, N4IRS, put on the ASL_Images on the dvswitch site.

Hope this helps.
Nope, the ASL_1.01-20180228-armhf-bbb-strech-image.img. The accompanying readme file says user:repeater, pw:allstarlink, consistent with other ASL rpi versions.
I do have a couple of the early hamvoip bbb units operating (pre rpi) and wish to migrate them over to ASL. Yes, they are “root”.
I realize that little, if any, development is taking place on the ASL version. And absolutely *zero* development has taken place on the hv version in years.
