Creating a DVAP or DVRPTR hotspot based on a Raspberry Pi or a BeagleBone Black that

Creating a DVAP or a Version 1 DVRPTR hotspot based on a Raspberry Pi or a BeagleBone
Black that can connect to both DStar reflectors as well as XREF reflectors based on
Scott Lawson KI4LKF software is easy.
Start with a Raspberry Pi with the latest Raspbian image (see http://raspberrypi.org)
or a BeagleBone Black with the latest Debian image (see http://www.armhf.com). The
g2_ircddb software will EASILY fit on the 2gb on-board memory of the older Rev. B of
the BBB, but you will still need a uSD card to install the armhf.com Debian image to
the on-board memory.
or a BeagleBone Black with the latest Debian image (see
http://beagleboard.org/latest-images). For this latest version of g2_ircddb requires
the c++ compiler of at least version 4.9. This means you will need Debian 8 (Jessie).
For the BBB, the jessie Debian version is small enough to fit onto the on-board 2gb
memory.The basic process is to first burn the image to a micro SD card then put
it into the BBB and power it up while holding down switch S2 until the BBB lights
start blinking. The process is done when the BBB LEDs quit blinking. Remove the
SD card and boot up off the on-board jessie! See info on the BBB website listed
above.
On the RPi, do "sudo raspi-config" and expand the partition, change the password
for the 'pi' user and do any other configuration setup. You don't need to overclock

g2_ircddb
=========
NEWEST! g2_ircddb now no longer depends on wxWidgits. You will need a to have a reasonably modern compiler. Type "g++ --version" to see what you have before you get started. I know it will compile properly with version 4.9, but I'm not sure how far back you can go. The jessie Raspbian works, but the wheezy Raspbian my not, at least out of the box. If you are stuck with an older compiler, you'll have to go with an earlier version of g2_ircddb, and there, you will have to make wxWidgits.

NEW! Software configuration is SIGNIFICANTLY easier because most parameters now have default values. Most hams will only need to define a few things.

As configured, this software requires a Debian or Debian-based Linux OS and works very well on a Raspberry Pi (http://raspberrypi.org) on Raspbian Liunx or a BeagleBone Black (http://beagleboard.org) running Debian Linux. Depending on your knowledge with your choice of OS, you can probably get this to work on others as well. The closer you are to a Debian base, the easier it will be.

This software will EASILY fit on the 2gb on-board memory of the older Rev. B of the BBB, but you will still need a uSD card to install the armhf.com Debian image to the on-board memory. If you are using Raspbian on a RasPi, be sure to configure Raspbian with the `sudo raspi-config` command. If you are using Debian on a BBB, be sure to look over the notes on expanding the uSD memory on the www.armhf.com website.

You can also use the new Debian images on BeagleBone.org. New BBBs (with the 4gb on-board memory) are now shipping with Debian instead of Angstrom and g2_ircddb will compile and install just fine on this Debian image. However, right now (late June 2014) there are still some minor bugs in this package, e.g., `halt` in a ssh shell will hang the shell. Hopefully, `sudo apt-get upgrade` will eventually fix this.
