[arm-allstar] DSTAR

[Patrick Perdue]

Hi David:

I don't have an existing image that isn't "dirty"/highly customized for 
my setup.

For a DSTAR bridge, you'll need DVSwitch running along-side either ASL 
or HamVoIP, and a vocoder dongle -- NWDigital DV3000 or DVMega 
DVstick30. These are basically the same. The DV3000 is manufactured in 
the U.S. and the DVstick is not. Get which ever is cheapest. I have some 
of both. They look and perform exactly the same. I have no idea about 
current availability, but I know that it was pretty hard to get either 
of them for quite a while last year.

You can add DVSwitch to an existing HamVoIP node. This is perhaps best 
done on a fresh HamVoIP image, but can be integrated into an existing 
one just fine.

There is a DVSwitch Server image on dvswitch.org somewhere

https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/main/topic/dvswitch_server_raspberry_pi/77730609

I've never used it, so I don't know if it comes with ASL or not. If it 
doesn't, it should be easy enough to install ASL from their package 
repository.

You can also install all the components yourself on other Linux 
distributions.

Regardless of what method you use for installation, I recommend reading 
the DVSwitch Server manual, as there is a bit of stuff going on to make 
it work. Finding an existing image probably won't save you a lot of time 
in the long run, in this case, unless *everything* is already configured 
for you.
