I have a Raspberry Pi that I have plans to use with chirp.I wanted a platform that I could bring to meeting and have readily available to easily reprogram radios.I have setup the Pi to run on 12 volts and added several powered usb ports. I have read about the chirp"live" download for use with a computer running Windows and understand how that works.As a Linux newbee I have the PI up and running but have a question. Is there a way to setup Chirp as a running program with a automatic or semiautomatic upload of beta's on a Pi. I am running Raspbian version of Linux. Please be easy on me as I am a beginner with Linux.
Stephen,
I Just setup a Raspberry Pi to run D-RATS and D-RATS Repeater. I have not tried it, but I suspect it will run CHIRP as well. Look here: http://n0so.net/index.php?id=72 for the D-RATS instructions.
Substitute chirp for d-rats in the instructions. If chirp is not in the repository, go ahead and install d-rats per the instructions, I think that will get you all of the things chirp depends on to run. Then download the chirp source tar file from here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download Get the "source tarball" file.
Unzip the tarball file to a temp directory on the RPI. Open a command line shell, cd to the directory you unpacked chirp in, and type: ./chirpw and chirp should run.
I may try it myself this evening.
Mike, N0SO

I confirmed last night, chirp does, indeed run on the Raspberry Pi. To install the latest release: sudo apt-get install chirp
No extensively tested by me, but I know it works. Be sure and add the user to the "dialout" group so chirp can access the serial port: sudo usermod -a -G dialout pi
Substitute your user name for pi if you're not using the default login.
