MMDVM setup on a Pi
This is intended mostly as an aide-memoir to myself – your mileage may vary!
- Image the Pi's SD card with Raspbian.
- Mount the
boot
partition and editcmdline.txt
- Remove
console=serial0,115200
- Save
- Edit
config.txt
and add the following to the end of the file:enable_uart=1 dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
- This disables the Bluetooth module and enables the UART for MMDVM use.
- Unmount the partitions and fit the SD card to the Pi – do not fit the MMDVM POG board yet!
- Boot the Pi
- When the Pi boots, log in (username
pi
, passwordraspberry
) - Enter the following commands:
sudo systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service sudo systemctl disable hciuart
- This disables the serial console and Bluetooth
- Shut down the Pi and install the MMDVM POG board. Note: remove the 3.3V regulator if you're using the POG board as a HAT!
- Boot the Pi and install the MMDVM software.
