Pi Zero W?

I have tried using the regular DIAL RAT_RC1 image and it doesn’t boot. (Just took a shot.)

Has anyone tried to install the DIAL build of Allstar onto a Raspberry Pi Zero W with regular Raspbian Light on it? What experiences did you have?

Thinking about a very low power mobile node.

Nothing to report, but I just purchased a Pi Zero W yesterday for testing with AllStar. It should be here Friday.

Why not use the app_rpt build that’s already setup for RPi?

That’s my plan…

Why not?

HamVoIP.org agreed to provide source code, and are violating the trust of the
community by refusing to honor their commitment. They have no right to
distribute app_rpt, asterisk or DAHDI.

Good luck getting it working without source on a different platform too. The
PiZero is so under powered it may not be able to do much. I've compiled the
main codebase on one and was unable to get it to run well on the Pi0 Zero even
with simple USB interface for anything other than a basic controller. Once
the IAX connection came up, it would just die.

This jives with what I saw on http://www.raspberry-asterisk.org/ where 2 SIP
calls had the CPU at 80%. At that rate it's not if, but when it will drop
packets. The idea of asterisk/Zapata telephony was to replace custom hardware
with CPU as the cost of CPU dropped. Using a Pi Zero is kinda taking that to
extremes in that the audio interface now costs more than the CPU.

I realized it's a neat platform, but a normal Pi3 is $50 with card and power
supply and such a small cost of the project it's not worth messing with an
under-powered single core box. Please mess with it if you want, and certainly
if you enjoy it, but the cost savings wasn't worth it for me.

At $5 give it's worth giving it a try, maybe you'll be able to get it working
as an embedded device.

I tried DIAL and hamvoip versions, neither would boot on the Pi Zero W.

I’m not a programmer and don’t usually compile anything at all, actually I try to avoid it. I’m guessing AllStar can be compiled manually with Raspbian Lite. If anyone has any links or instructions how I can compile AllStar on Raspbian Lite I’d be glad to try and attempt it. In the mean time I’ll begin researching it. 73

The Pi Zero W is essentially the same hardware as the original Pi B. Back when they were first released, many people tried to get AllStar working on that platform, and the performance really was not there. You really didn’t get enough performance out of the Pi platform until the Pi 2.
