The integrability of SvxLink is inevitable, being such an enviable system with its talkgroup capability and management.
Adrian (Adi) DL1HRC is foremost of the introduction of one of SvxLink’s extra components, the UsrpLogic module. This component part is essentially for connection from one system to another, using UDP ports within the operating systems in play.
Because it is not in the main SvxLink package as authored by Tobias SM0SVX, it becomes a little more difficult to introduce to a working environment, although not beyond the capability of most users of svxlink. However it should be used with due diligence, as without proper set-up, there are risks to cause interference bi-directionally on the connected systems.
What is meant by connected systems?
At this present time Svxlink is capable of connection to AllStarLink, DVSwitch and Tetra networks.
Allstarlink/SvxLink nodes are currently used in the UK Svxlink Network, to offer fixed talkgroups to the following networks. Freedom Net, The Boredom Network, The EastCoast Reflector, The Rochester-NewYork community, HamRadio2.0, North West Allstar Group, Anglo Scottish, OnLine Amateur Radio Community. This later group is also bridged to DMR on BrandMeister Talkgroup 2348479. There are other bridges too, including the DVSPh multimodal group, and to other talkgroup assets. But in all cases the user of the UsrpLogic module is key.
At this time, I am working to provide a pre-complied version of SvxLink-Usrp, but there is still some developmental changes that make it a little unpredictable at the moment, but it looks possible that I will be able to provide a .deb package, that makes the installation process very simple. Otherwise the compilation route is a little more fraught.
Because the changes are fluid, you will need to get in touch with me to see the current state of development, so that I can help you directly.
Also if you are looking at adding a particular mode to work alongside svxlink, you will have to be conversant with bash scripting for most of your project, as there is no way using an image of one or the other will work effectively, unless it has been completely prepared.
I have experience with the three components above when used with svxlink, so I know the pitfalls, but there are no short cuts.
Watch this page for imminent changes and availability. In any case get in touch, if you need to know.
