Support Software and Tools
Most hardware systems require some form of software to do
anything useful, and, as it turns out, the Node Adapter and Mini-Hotspot boards
are no exception. They need firmware loaded into their microcontrollers to
operate, and, once that is set up, they usually need to be connected to, and
communicating with, a PC running even more software: the drivers and/or
application software.
Firmware
You must have at least one active license
in your account before you can download any firmware.
Drivers and Tools
Here you can find the NAtools packages which are released for
the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and Linux (CentOS Linux V5.3 or up, 32-bit and 64-bit)
operating systems.
The packages for Windows systems are based on the
Microsoft Installer system, and will install automatically.
| NOTE: |
If you are installing NAtools V1.014 or
V1.015 on a Windows XP system, please also
download
this
file which contains an extra file to install,
plus instructions. This chicken-and-egg bug
will be fixed in a future release !
|
The Linux-based
packages are compressed TAR files for now, but will eventually hopefully be
released as RPM package files.
DUTCH*Star DV Node
DV Node (also known as WinDV, as it currently exists for
Windows only) is a next-generation implementation of a "D-STAR
Hotspot" application. It supports both the "Node Adapter"
series of boards as well as the "DV Access Point"
and "DV Dongle" series of
USB devices. It can connect to reflectors and
gateways using either DPlus, DExtra or DCS. It can do D-STAR
Callsign Routing through the ircDDB network.
Reporting of GPS positions of stations is handled through the built-in APRS-IS
interface. Various data-handling options are now available through
the D-Rats interface module.
You must be logged in to download this software.
For more information on (working with) DV Node, see its
support page or use the built-in BugReport
feature to report problems and/or requests.

All of these are in BETA TEST phase- please let
us know if strange things happen!
Note that these packages from now on directly support the DExtra
protocol (Xreflector) so you can use them to connect to most of
the Xreflectors as well as DPlus reflectors and gateways.

KI4LKF DSTAR Point
Many people were asking for these, so
here they are. Since these were available from various
Yahoo! groups before Scott KI4LKF removed them and
disappeared, we consider it acceptable to distribute them
here as a service to those who are looking for them.
The files in this section are offered
AS-IS,
without support, and without any warranty whatsoever.
They are unmodified copies from the ones posted on the
Open_D-Star group, a few hours before they were removed
again. Obviously, ownership of this software remains with
Scott, we just make it available here.
