For those of you wanting an alternative to the TYT software, I have been testing Dale's work out, it does very very well. Yesterday i found my self with an improperly programmed DMR channel, I opened up my laptop (linux) and fired up editcp, went in and changed the TX frequency for the system in questiion and that was it. I can read and write code plugs from the radio quite fast, seems to be faster than the TYT software, also you can in the software drag and drop channels zones etc to different parts, or you can open to sessions and use drag and drop to build a new code plug.
Again here is the URL: https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/
Now I have a nice accompaniment to Chirp that handles the DMR radio.
One thing, it will show a lot of errors, these are actually in the code plug, just ignore them and press on.
There is a version also for Windows, for those that want that solution.

I saw someone mention working with the..... wonderful.... TYT software in this thread. Before you growl at it any more, check this out
http://www.miklor.com/MD380/380-CPEditor.php
Works 100% in WINE. Only issue I've ever had with it is that some elements of the interface seem to get mouseover and click confused (you'll see what I mean after a moment if it affects your setup, no functionality is impaired by this however)
I use this to edit the codeplug and send it onto the radio with the md380-tools utility

The TYT cable is just a straight through cable.
CHIRP would need a lot of functionality added to support dmr. First, the radio is like a "model 3" Motorola in that you need a zone/channel assignment. You'd need to implement this to use analog only. Then, to do dmr, you need timeslot, color code, and contacts. For each channel it will need an individual or group contact set, as well as an optional RX group list. You'll need to have the ability to edit the contacts and group lists.
Not by any means saying it's impossible but it would be a big chunk of architecture to add to a package that only implements analog for the time being.

The DMRTOOLS talk to it just fine, now to figure out how to get it to talk to the radio from wine. Also the device does not appear in /dev unlike serial devices.

If you are having trouble getting USB serial working in wine under linux, try this post:

I do a lot of micro controller programming and debugging using serial interfaces and I have used it to get several different things working

Yes, we all use DMRTools on the MD-380 and similar, but still have to fall back on the stinking TYT software to actually generate the code plug, sure would like to be able to use one piece of software to do it. The TYT software runs under wine but it cannot see the dongle as wine does not appear to be able to handle USB devices so you have to make it a two step process as far as I can see.
Yes we will need to find someone who can take on the Chirp work, as it is more than just a bit trivial to add the DMR stuff, but maybe someone will emerge. There are a lot of MD-380 people out there who would like to be able to use Chirp for the radio maybe one is a coder and will step forward.

Good morning and happy new year all,
I was wondering if there were any plans to add functionality to chirp to support the TYT DMR radios, such as their MD-2017 (...so last year) or MD-380 for example?
That's all for now, 73
