Version v20180327.4z
Updated: 11 April 2018 23:50 UTC
This release is based on upstream v20180327 and contains all improvements of prior releases.
This release targets the Zumspot and Jumbospot HAT devices running MMDVMHost.
Improvements in this release:
Banner graphics added for P25 and NXDN
Fixes from prior release
None , 3z is working normally as well.
Note: If you are using Pi-Star, it's update feature may put back the original binary file found in this test release. You would have to reapply it again if that happens. This release is intended as a test build for the new feature. If this goes well, a Pull Request will be made to push this branch upstream. In that event, after it is merged by G4KLX, the display format will become standard.
Target device: Raspberry Pi ONLY
If you would like to try the OLED feature on a different platform, you will need to clone this project and build it from source yourself.
You can use this release to test changes made to the OLED display driver to incorporate the IP address of the host system.
Note This may make your hotspot stop working!
The setup script will download the modified version of MMDVMHost and install it in place of your current, running copy. When it does this, a backup copy of the existing MMDVMHost binary will be created having the name MMDVMHost.original . You can copy that file back to MMDVMHost and recover if necessary. If the modified version of MMDVMHost fails to launch, you may need to use the original file again.
IF NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, DO NOT PROCEED
Installation Instructions
To try this modified MMDVMHost service, you will need to run these four lines in
an SSH shell window to your Pi. Make sure the second line starts with "wget https://" and ends with "update.sh" (That all should be on one line) Note that the first and last lines are Pi-Star specific and can be skipped if not running a Pi-Star image.
rpi-rw
wget -O update.sh https://github.com/KD4Z/MMDVMHost/releases/download/v20180327.4z/update.sh
sh update.sh
rpi-ro
When the update script completes, your hotspot will take a few moments to reconnect to the your configured servers.
