[arm-allstar] USB driver for hamvoip

[David McGough]

Chuck,

The CM119 is "automatically" supported in HamVoIP. Just enable using the 
simpleusb channel driver in the rpt.conf file, restart asterisk and then 
configure the levels and telemetry using the simpleusb-tune-menu program.

In the rpt.conf file, node stanza, make sure the rxchannel is setup for 
simpleusb, similar to:

; Node number 1234
[1234]
rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb1234
duplex=2  ; For full duplex repeater operation


Then, in the simpleusb.conf file, make sure you've got a stanza named with 
the usb device identifier, as set above. So, for this example:

[usb1234]
;....Put the "standard" key/value settings in this stanza,
;....as found in this file as a sample config.


Then, save the file and restart asterisk. 

Now run the simpleusb-tune-menu program and finish the basic 
configuration.

Once you've been through this setup a few times, it goes very, very 
quickly---maybe 15 minutes (literally)!

I feel rather dumb asking this question, but I'm having trouble trying 
to figure out how to get my CM-119Â  based RaspPi hat to show up as a USB 
device in hamvoip.  The hat uses USB to connect, not the GPIO pins, so 
it's effectively a CM-119 based dongle.

Do I need to add a driver for the Cmedia chip?  The lsusb command shows 
the chip is there, but I have no idea where its device file may (or may 
not) be in the  /dev  directory.  The Cmedia web site makes no mention 
of an ARM-based Linux driver.

Any suggestions for configuring this "dongle" will be most welcomed, 
with my thanks.
