v1.3.0-rc.2 Pre-release
Pre-release

Still a pre-release due to the need for testing stuff. The following was changed:

  • Increased serial buffer size due to issues with some radios (#56)
  • Implemented hardware logic input capability for use in e.g. hardware COS scenarios. Currently, this is mostly relevant for people using their own hardware and people using the K1 AIOC version 1.1 hardware (hidden away in this branch: https://github.com/skuep/AIOC/tree/k1-aioc-rev1.1
  • Fixed/Overhauled the HID configuration interface due to issues on Windows platforms running the Python scripts. Note that all current scripts will not work anymore. Use this adapted script as an example on how to change stuff.

v1.3.0-rc.1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This is a quite extensive pre-release delivering a firmware implementation of the promised

  • HID configuration system as discussed in PR #37 and
  • virtual PTT as discussed in PR #25 and issue #19.

Configurability

This enables the user to configure all kinds of functionality within the AIOC. Currently this is

  • USB VID:PID (although not recommended, but can be helpful in a pinch)
  • PTT1/PTT2 signal source (CM108 GPIOs 1-4, serial DTR/RTS or the new virtual PTT which serves as a high-performance VOX)
  • Configure CM108 buttons (Volume Up/Down, Playback/Record Mute) and serial inputs to PTT1/PTT2 inputs (supported with next hardware revision) or virtual COS)
  • Configure UART lockout on PTT activity, which is enabled by default but can be disabled. This is required to be able to use the AIOC as both a programming cable (UART) and soundcard.
  • Configure Virtual PTT and Virtual COS settings such as threshold value and timeout (tail) time
  • A whole slew of debug register showing whats going on inside the AIOC

Although all these things are now configurable, the default configuration is kept such that people that don't want to use this system, won't even notice it's there. E.g. default for PTT1 is still CM108 GPIO3 or DTR & !NRTS. CM108 Volume Down has the virtual COS.

The configuration can be stored in flash and is thus kept across power cycles. If you flash a new firmware in the future however, the settings will be lost. This is a bit inconvenient, but required to avoid having to be backwards compatible with the binary settings inside the flash across firmware versions.

How to configure

This part of the release is still a bit lacking. I plan there to be a very extensive python command line application that can be used to programm all the new configuration values of the AIOC. However currently, I only have this debug script, that I use for my purposes, that I can show you.
Please have a look in the stm32/aioc-fw/Src/settings.hfile on the details of the contents in those registers.

v1.2.0

New features in this Release

  • CM108-style PTT
  • Live automatic DFU firmware updates
  • serial PTT has changed from DTR=1to DTR=1& RTS=0, due to some issues with certain radios, where programming them with CHIRP would trigger the PTT and leave asserted for the entire programming sequence.

Pre-release

CM108 PTT control

This is a release-candidate, i.e. currently not tested well enough for a Release.

This is the first version of CM108 style PTT support. It works "in parallel" with the regular COM-Port DTR PTT support, which should not be an issue.
CM108 PTT control has been tested in direwolf. The following needs to be adapted in direwolf.conf

    #PTT /dev/ttyACM0 DTR # comment out any lines similar to this
    PTT CM108 # add this line

In addition, look in the direwolf manual for configuring the correct permissions on the hidraw device. For a quick and dirty test, run direwolf, it will report a message like this.

    could not open /dev/hidraw13 for write, errno=13

Now, we now that the AIOC hid device is hidraw13. Run the following command.

    sudo chmod 666 /dev/hidraw13

Restart direwolf and this error disappears (Note: This method has the disadvantage that it has to be repeated manually each time you plug in the AIOC).

Note that currently, direwolf still shows the following warnings:

    Warning: USB audio card 5 (AllInOneCable) is not a device known to work with GPIO PTT.
    ....
    ioctl HIDIOCGRAWINFO failed for /dev/hidraw13. errno = 0.

The first error is understandable, since the AIOC does not use the USB VID:PID pair that any of the CM108 (or similar) chipsets use. This warning can only be made to disappear at the hands of the direwolf developers. You can ignore this.

The second warning is, in my opinion, a bug in direwolf and is currently only a minor annoyance and not a deal-breaker. It is related to a "sanity check" whether we are working with a "supported device", however the if/else clauses seem to be jambled up. See this issue: wb2osz/direwolf#448

This should get you started immediately. Note that as per direwolf's default, the GPIO3 (at CM108) is used for PTT control. GPIO4 is used for PTT2 control (should your radio have a second PTT).

Should you encounter any problems or have suggestions, please use this issue: #17

v1.1.0

21 Feb 12:17

A few changes since previous release:

  • PTT is now asserted on DTR=1 (instead of RTS=1 & DTR=0 as before). Please adjust your configurations.
    This was done to support applications that cannot use both RTS and DTR simultaneously for the PTT. See #11 for a lengthy discussion.
  • Additional sample rates have been added (12000 Hz, 11025 Hz and 8000 Hz) specifically for applications that only work with sample rates of 12000 Hz and below (e.g. SoundModem).
    Note that 11025 Hz has a frequency error of approx. 90 ppm due to odd divider ratio from the AIOC system frequency.

We now have a unique VID:PID from pid.codes for the AIOC.

The device now enumerates as "All-In-One-Cable" (instead of "TinyUSB")
