Enable serial port in Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 3 or Pi Zero W

This this necessary only if you are installing a fresh copy of Raspbian OS. Images like "Pi-Star" are already OK.

Edit /boot/cmdline.txt:

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

(remove the text: console=serial0,115200)

Disable services:

sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service

Edit /boot/config.txt:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add the following lines at the end of /boot/config.txt:

enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

Reboot your RPi:

sudo reboot

Build the firmware and upload to MMDVM-Pi

Installation of necessary software (only once)

NOTE!!: To build firmware for the MMDVM-Pi v1.0 you need to use Pi-Star RPi_V4.1.0-RC4_27-Aug-2019 or higher. If you are using Raspbian, use Buster or higher

If you are using Pi-Star, expand filesystem (if you haven't done before):

sudo pistar-expand
sudo reboot

Enable RW filesystem if you are using Pi-Star:

rpi-rw

Install toolchain and necessary packages:

sudo apt-get install git gcc-arm-none-eabi gdb-arm-none-eabi libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib autoconf libtool pkg-config libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev

If on Pi-Star Beta v4 you may get "cannot resolve host" error when downloading the packages. Do the following:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Enter the following on a new line

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Ctrl-O and Ctrl-X to save and exit. Now you can download the packages without getting that error.

Remove libi2c-dev and stm32flash packages if you are using Pi-Star:

sudo apt-get remove libi2c-dev
sudo apt-get remove stm32flash

Install the latest stm32flash:

cd ~
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/stm32flash/code stm32flash
cd stm32flash
make
sudo make install

Another place to get the lastest stm32flash is:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/stm32flash/files/

MMDVM firmware compilation and uploading for MMDVM-Pi

Download firmware sources:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/g4klx/MMDVM
cd MMDVM
git submodule init
git submodule update

Edit Config.h according your preferences:

nano Config.h

You can select for example:

// #define EXTERNAL_OSC 12000000 (disable any external TCXO)
// #define ARDUINO_DUE_ZUM_V10 (this option doesn't matter for STM32 devices)
#define MODE_LEDS
#define SEND_RSSI_DATA
#define SERIAL_REPEATER
#define USE_DCBLOCKER
#define USE_ALTERNATE_POCSAG_LEDS

Compile:

make pi-f722

If you are using Pi-Star, stop services:

sudo pistar-watchdog.service stop
sudo systemctl stop mmdvmhost.timer
sudo systemctl stop mmdvmhost.service

Upload the firmware:

sudo make deploy-pi-f7
