Cross-linking with BrandMeister

To create cross-link you need several things:

  • An valid EchoLink node account
  • Patched version of SVXLink software that should be deployed on the same server with BrandMeister
  • One of supported AMBE Dongles

Patch is available here - https://code.brandmeister.network/r3abm/AutoPatch.git
Patched version of SVXLink is available here = https://github.com/stefansaraev/svxlink/tree/autopatch

Compiling

  1. # create user and group
  2. groupadd svxlink
  3. useradd -r -g nogroup -s /sbin/nologin -d /opt/SVXLink -c "SvxLink Daemon" svxlink
  4. usermod -G audio,nogroup,svxlink svxlink
  5.  
  6. # fetch patched sources, compile and install into /opt/SVXLink
  7. cd /usr/src
  8. git clone https://github.com/stefansaraev/svxlink.git -b autopatch
  9. cd svxlink
  10. ./build.sh
  11.  
  12. # install the systemd unit if you want to run svxlink as systemd service
  13. cp bm/svxlink.service /etc/systemd/system/
  14. systemctl enable svxlink
  15.  

System configuration

The supplied patch used to translate callsigns that come from EchoLink into DMR IDs.
