AX25, ODroid, PAT Part 2

At first I tried the deb package both linux and armhf but ran into problems with each.  Solution was to build from source.

Build from Source:

https://github.com/la5nta/pat/wiki/Building-from-source
sudo apt-get install golang-go
export GOPATH=`pwd`
Attempts at using go to do the install failed.

git clone https://github.com/la5nta/pat $GOPATH/src/github.com/la5nta/pat
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/la5nta/pat
git submodule update --init --recursive
./make.bash libax25
./make.bash
sudo cp pat /usr/local/bin

Success. Now edit the config:
vi /home/odroid/.wl2k/config.json
Enter your callsign, winlink password, locator, etc.

I set the serial-tc path to:  /dev/ttyACM0

Not sure if this will work yet though.

Run the web client with:
pat http

Next blog post...try to send an email P2P.

  1. Thanks for the info! I just installed Pat on my Ubuntu laptop, but am curious to try and extend it to my Android phone, too. Looking forward to reading about your attempts at sending/receiving. 73 de Corey KJ6LDJ
