[Xastir] Raspberry Pi

[Ray Wells]

All,

I guess the backlog on RPi is reducing. I ordered 2 and was told 5 
weeks. They arrived in 5 days.

The following is cross-posted from another list but I'm sure it will 
have some interest here.

Hello all,

This is my first debian package !

http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/linux-image-3.1.9.080312.ax25+_3.1.9.080312.ax25+-10.00.Custom_armhf.deb 


This is the raspbian kernel image including AX.25 modules (ax25, 6pack, 
netrom, rose, mkiss,...)

 From your RaspBerry Pi you can download it with wget

wget 
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/linux-image-3.1.9.080312.ax25+_3.1.9.080312.ax25+-10.00.Custom_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

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

Then download K4GBB install ax25 script for installing ax25 libraries, 
tools and apps.

sudo wget http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/Instax25.new
sudo chmod +x Instax25.new
./Instax25.new

You may download a sample ax25 device init script :
sudo wget http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/rc.ax25

and a sample /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf
sudo wget http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/ax25ipd.conf

Then you also need to edit /etc/ax25/axports
such this example :
sudo wget http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/axports

I may have missed some details.
