Bpq32 , Linbpq

Xfbb interface with Linbpq

Posted onAuthorPD9Q9 Comments

In bpq32.cfg add

TNCPORT
COMPORT=/home/pi/fbbded
TYPE=DED
STREAMS=1
APPLMASK=4
ENDPORT

This creates a DED Host mode TNC on device /home/pi/fbbded, accessible from the LinBPQ Node as Application 3. Change APPLMASK and APPLICATION line if you already use APPL 3

APPLICATION 3,FBB,,PI1LAP,LINBBS,255

This allows uses to connect to FBB. You can add the usual Call, Alias and Quality if you want to be able to access FBB directly instead of via the Node.

Change APPLMASK and APPLICATION line if you already use APPL 3

In /usr/local/etc/ax25/fbb/port.sys#

# FBB7.0.8-beta8
#
#Ports TNCs

This tells fbb to use /home/pi/fbbded as a DED Mode TNC.

Installing Direwolf and LinBPQ on Raspian Stretch

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Jeff KP3FT has written a nice document about the installation of Direwolf and Linbpq on a Raspberry with raspbian Stretch. Download the complet document here.

Dire Wolf

Installing Direwolf and linBPQ on a new Raspian Stretch installation.  It’s a combination from various websites and documentation, condensed down into a straightforward walkthrough.  This doesn’t include configuration of most BPQ settings, only enough to get it to use Direwolf as a modem.

Older Raspian versions like Jessie may require Pulse Audio removed first, prior to installing Direwolf.  Raspian Stretch by default does not have Pulse Audio installed.  My Raspian config settings have SSH and VNC enabled.

First:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot now

After it restarts, install libasound:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

Optionally install the following if you want to enable Direwolf to use the GPIO pin on certain USB sound devices for PTT:

sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

Then install Direwolf (as of this writing, version 1.5 is the latest):

cd ~
git clone https://www.github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
cd ~/direwolf
git tag
git checkout 1.5
make -j 
sudo make install 
make install-rpi
make install-conf

Plug your USB sound device(s) into the RPi, open a terminal, and run the following to verify the system sees the USB sound device(s).

aplay -l (the smallcase letter "l", not the number "1")

If the Raspberry pi’s onboard audio is enabled, it will show up as Card 0, Device 0.  The USB sound device should show up as Card 1, Device 0.  A second USB sound device will show up as Card 2, Device 0, and so on.

Open the direwolf.conf file in a text-editor, scroll down, and enable the correct USB sound device by removing the # at the beginning of the appropriate line.  For example, on mine it is:

ADEVICE  plughw:1,0

Scroll down and change “N0CALL” to your callsign in the line:

MYCALL N0CALL

Enable the modem speed you want.  In my case, I enable 300-baud:

MODEM 300

Scroll down and enable the appropriate PTT option for your setup.
Further down, enable and change the AGWPORT and KISSPORT settings for your setup.
Optionally disable all the APRS-related lines if you don’t want to use those functions.

Save the file and run Direwolf by double-clicking the desktop icon, or test-run it from Terminal with:

cd ~
direwolf

You should see packet activity if the radio is tuned on the right frequency and audio level is good.

Close Direwolf for now (CTRL-C) and install pilinBPQ (skip down to the Direwolf port section if pilinBPQ is already installed):

sudo mkdir linbpq
cd linbpq
sudo wget http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/pilinbpq
sudo mv pilinbpq linbpq
sudo chmod +x linbpq

sudo su
setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" linbpq
su pi

sudo mkdir HTML
cd HTML
sudo wget http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/HTMLPages.zip
sudo unzip HTMLPages.zip

cd ~/linbpq
sudo mkdir BPQAPRS
cd BPQAPRS
sudo wget http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/Samples/APRSHTML.zip
sudo unzip APRSHTML.zip

cd ~
sudo chown -R pi:pi linbpq

Copy an existing Linux bpq32.cfg from another source to /pi/linbpq. I have an old bpq32.cfg file here which would need some substantial editing for your own setup:

https://www.qsl.net/swlkp3/Packet/bpq32(Linux).cfg .

Be sure to rename it to bpq32.cfg .If you don’t use the above bpq32.cfg file, and add one or both of these Direwolf ports in the ports section of whatever copy of bpq32.cfg you have, depending on how many Direwolf modems you want to run.  Change the port numbers to whatever works with your particular setup.  The timing settings can also be changed; these are what worked with my setup for 300-baud HF packet and 1200-baud VHF packet.

ENDPORT

Save the file.

Start Direwolf.

Open another Terminal and start linBPQ:

cd ~/linbpq
sudo -u pi ./linbpq

It should connect to Direwolf(s) on port 127.0.0.1:8001 or whatever port(s) you set up.

Notes:
——
Multiple instances of Direwolf can run at the same time.  Each instance has its own “.conf” file.  Each conf file needs to be edited to enable whatever port and USB sound device will be used.  To do that, just edit the original “direwolf.conf” file and save it under a new name, such as “direwolf_HF.conf”, etc.  Start each instance in Terminal using the “-c” switch to point Direwolf to the correct “.conf” file.  In my setup, I start the first Direwolf instance in Terminal with “direwolf -c direwolf.conf”.  The second instance is started in another Terminal with “direwolf -c direwolf_HF.conf”.

Direwolf has several options that can be used in the command line.  Three that I find particularly useful are the “-q”, -T”, and “-x” options.  By default, Direwolf shows audio in/out levels in its Terminal screen.  This can be turned off with “-q h”.  For example, when I run my HF 300-baud instance of Direwolf to disable audio reports, I run “direwolf -c direwolf_HF.conf -q h”

To show timestamps of sent and received packet frames, use the “-T” option with “%H:%M:%S”.  Example: “direwolf -c direwolf_HF.conf -q h -T %H:%M:%S” to disable audio reporting and show timestamds in hours-minutes-seconds format.

The “-x” option immediately starts Direwolf transmitting calibration tones, which I use mostly to key the transciever for tuning the antenna when I switch bands.  Example: “direwolf -c direwolf_HF.conf -q h -T %H:%M:%S -x”.  Enter CNTRL-C to stop the transmit.

The complete list of command-line options are in the Direwolf user guide, pages 126 through 128: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/tree/master/doc

Fldigi and BPQ32

Posted onAuthorPD9Q1 Comment

KP3FT post a example of how to setup FLdigi and BPQ32.

In the bpq.cfg driver settings, you will have to make changes for your own setup, but it does work.  For example, set the path to wherever your FLdigi executable is on your computer.  Also, set the default FLDigi mode to what you want.  In mine, the line “DEFAULTMODEM=PSK250R/1300” sets it to start FLDigi’s robust version of PSK-250 at 1300-hz waterfall frequency

Bpq32 Log options

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

John G8BPQ has made it possible to move the log dir of linbpq and pilinbpq. Nice

I’ve uploaded versions of linbpq and pilinbpq to my beta download site
that allow you to move the log directory. Start with a command line
parameter of logdir=directory, eg

../pilinbpq logdir=/dev/shm

 

You can download the new version here.

LinBPQ Applications Interface.

Posted onAuthorPD9Q6 Comments

LinBPQ has a facility to make a tcp connection from the node to an application running on the same machine. This was originally intended to connect to a shell to enable basic configuration editing, but has been generalised to allow connects to other tcp ports, thus allowing you to write your own applications to be used with LinBPQ.

Edit
Henk, pointed out that there was something missing in this story. Nowadays we mainly work with Systemd in the newer version of Linux. So the inetd (internet super server) is no longer part of this. But you can still install it. “sudo apt-get install inetutils-inetd” or the successor to inetd the Xinetd “sudo apt-get install xinetd”
Thank you Henk…

Ok, that sounds nice. Let give it a try.

Fist setup Linbpq, add de “cmdport” to the telnet port section.

PORT
 PORTNUM=4                      ; Optional but sets port number if stated
 ID=Telnet
 DRIVER=Telnet

CONFIG
 CMS=1
 CMSCALL=PI1LAP
 CMSPASS=**********
 LOGGING=1

 CMDPORT 63000
 TCPPORT=6309
 FBBPORT=6306

 PASSWORDPROMPT=Password:
 MAXSESSIONS=10
 CTEXT=Welcome to PI1LAP`s Telnet Server.\nPress ? For list of commands \n\n
 USER=pd9q,pass,PD9Q,,SYSOP
ENDPORT

I have add “CMDPORT 63000” but it can by any number.

Now add a Application at the end of de bpq32.cfg

APPLICATION 7,APP,C 4 HOST 0 S

Now we have to add some stuff to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf

/etc/services

# Local services
bpqdemo        63000/tcp   # BPQ Demo App

/etc/inetd.conf

bpqdemo    stream    tcp    nowait    pd9q  /usr/local/linbpq/testapp.pl

Now restart inetd. sudo killall -1 inetd

I have found a small script on the internet and make some adjustments.
This script is using some perl modules that has to be installed.

cpanm Linux::SysInfo
cpanm Sys::Info
cpanm Sys::Load
cpanm Sys::MemInfo
cpanm Sys::CpuLoad

The testapp.pl script. /usr/local/linbpq/testapp.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl -w -T

# Simple information script 10/2018. PD9Q/PI1LAP

use strict;
use Sys::Info;
use Sys::Info::Constants qw( :device_cpu );
use Sys::Load qw/getload uptime/;
use Sys::MemInfo qw(totalmem freemem totalswap);
use Sys::CpuLoad;

   my $info = Sys::Info->new;
   my $cpu = $info->device('CPU');
   my $os  = $info->os;

   my $old_fh = select(STDOUT);
$| = 1;
select($old_fh);

my $line = <STDIN>;

   print "Hello " . $line . "Welcome to the LinBPQ System Info App of PI1LAP.\n";
   printf "\nWe have %s ", scalar $cpu->count;
   printf "%s-bit CPU", scalar $cpu->bitness;
   printf " %s\n", scalar $cpu->identify;
   printf "The CPU speed is: %s\n\n", scalar $cpu->speed;
   print "Operating System is\n", $os->name( long => 1 );

   print "\n\nSystem load: ", (getload())[0], "\n";
   print "System uptime: ", int uptime(), "\n\n";

   print 'load average: ',
       join(',', Sys::CpuLoad::load()), "\n\n";

   print "Total memory: ".(&totalmem / 1024)."\n";
   print "Free memory:  ".(&freemem / 1024)."\n";

   print "Total swap: ".(&totalswap / 1024)."\n";
   print "Free swap:  ".(Sys::MemInfo::get("freeswap") / 1024)."\n\n";
   print "Type exit to close\n";

while( my $line = <STDIN> )
{
    $line =~ s/\r?\n$//;
    if ($line =~ /exit/)
    {
                die "shutting down, bye,bye\n";
        }

        # do your processing here!

        print "  $line\n";
}

Now we can run the script from linbpq. Let give it a try.

/*
PACLEN is a problem! The ideal size depends on the link(s) over which a packet
will be sent. For a session involving another node, we have no idea what is at
the far end. Ideally each node should have the capability to combine and then
refragment messages to suit each link segment - maybe when there are more BPQ
nodes about than 'other' ones, I'll do it. When the node is accessed directly,
things are a bit easier, as we know at least something about the link. So,
currently there are two PACLEN params, one here and one in the PORTS section.
This one is used to set the initial value for sessions via other nodes and for
sessions initiated from here. The other is used for incoming direct (Level 2)
sessions. In all cases the TNC PACLEN command can be used to override the
defaults.

DireWolf/Linpq with Systemd.

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

I have a bad time behind me, I have had a lot of arguments with Systemd to start DireWolf and Linpq when booting 🙂
If you like Systemd, you can read some about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd

I want Linbpq to run under /dev/tty2 and DireWolf under /dev/tty3. This is because if I login remotely I can view the monitor from DireWolf with “conspy”. “conspy 3” Hit esc a few times to leave conspy.

Systemd does not want to accept the start line with >/dev/tty3 &

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/direwolf -c /home/pd9q/direwolf.conf -l /home/pd9q/direwolf.log >/dev/tty3

This upper start line does not work.

So I had to come up with something else for that. So i wrote a start file. “direwolf.start”

cd /usr/local/bin
./direwolf -c /home/pd9q/direwolf.conf -l /home/pd9q/direwolf.log >/dev/tty3

Now i wrote a unit file to start DireWolf on boot.
/etc/systemd/system/direwolf.service

[Unit]

After=sound.target
After=syslog.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/pd9q/linbpq/direwolf.start

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=direwolf.service

Now DireWolf is starting very nice on /dev/tty3

pd9q@packet:~ $ systemctl status direwolf.service

Sep 12 10:58:51 packet systemd[1]: Started DireWolf Deamon.

I had the same problem with Linbpq, which I solved in the same way.

Linbpq start file “runbpq”

cd /home/pd9q/linbpq
sudo ./linbpq  >/dev/tty2

The unit file “linbpq.service”

[Unit]

Ok, let’s see if it is running

-------------------------------

Jeff have made some comments about it.

On HF I`d recommend starting with a maxframe other than 7.
With the Tracker`s intelligence I found it best to start 
connections on HF with a conservative value of maxframe = 1 then 
let the modem ramp things up if band/link conditions support it. 
Also suggest keeping a few hundred ms of @T2 in there to help slower radios.

Obviously VHF/UIHF is a different story, but suggest load testing 
different values and being careful if you`re going to have users with the 
Tasco (D72, D74, D700, D710 or KISS mode TNCs with no/minimal buffering connecting in. 
Be sure to test with transfers both ways and large enough 
(at least 7-8kb on the link) to bring buffering issues to light or nasty surprises may lurk.

This driver allows BPQ32 applications to make and receive Robust Packet or HF Packet calls using the SCS Tracker TNC. This driver is intended for using the Tracker on HF for forwarding, and only allows one connect at a time. For normal VHF operation or user access on HF, there is a separate driver, SCSTrackerMulti, that supports multiple connections (but not scanning).

Although the Tracker is an ax.25 controller, the driver only allows it to be used by one session at a time, so you must use the ATTACH command to allocate the port before making a call. So if your Tracker port is BPQ32 port 3, enter

ATTACH 3

Possible responses are:

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Ok

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Invalid Port   // Port is not a Tracker port.

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Port in use   // Port is in use.

Once attached to a port, you can issue commands to the TNC. These are the same as you would use to control the Tracker from a terminal, except that you don’t type an ESC before each command.

You can also select which mode a connect will be made in be entering HFPACKET or RPACKET. So to make a Robust call, enter

ATT 3
RPACKET
C CALLSIGN

For a normal (300 Baud HF Packet) call enter:

ATT 3
HFPACKET
C CALLSIGN

Configuration.

The driver configuration is specified in the bpq32.cfg file

The driver is defined to BPQ32 as an External port, and needs some driver-specific configuration

The first line of the config defines what BPQ Application incoming calls should connect to. If omitted, calls go to the command handler.

If you are using the Rig Control feature for scanning, add the RIGCONTROL command next.

If you want to listen for both normal and Robust packet connects, use the SWITCHMODES n command. This specifes how long to spend in each mode. Note Rigcontrol will override this.

If you want users to be able to connect to any of your applications, use the USEAPPLCALLS command.

If you want the controller to start in Robust mode, and return to that mode after a connect, use DEFAULT ROBUST

All commands that are essential to run with BPQ32 are sent automatically. You only need to include any special setup you need.

The commands that are preset are in two groups. One set is sent before the commands you specify, so can be changed. The others are sent after your commands, as they are essential for correct operation with BPQ32.

Sent before your config

M UISC           ; Monitoring Enabled (needed for APPLCALL support)
%F 1500          ; Use the same centre frequency for normal and Robust packet.

Sent after your config

Z 0              ; No Flow Control
Y 1              ; One Channel
E 1              ; Echo - Restart process needs echo
%B R600 or %B 300 ; Depending if DEFAULT ROBUST is set

MYCALL is set to the PORT config PORTCALL if specified, otherwise to NODECALL. Any MYCALL in the config file is ignored.

Other possible configuraton parameters are:

FORCE ROBUST
Only use Robust Packet. Disable any switch to Normal Packet

WL2KREPORT
send Frequency info to the WINLINK database. See here for details.

UPDATEMAP
The modem logs connects to the Nodemap if you have specified a LOCATOR in your BPQ32.cfg. If you specify UPDATEMAP, stations heard will also be sent to the map.

BEACONAFTERSESSION
Send Beacon after each session
