Re: Direwolf CM108 support on Mac OS
Agreed and John WB2OSZ also just approved Martin's
MacOS changes so it's now included in the Direwolf DEV branch.

One of the folks on the list has a fix that is waiting to be
included in the release. You have to find his GitHub page and
build his version and the cm108 works. He also included a
build of the cm108 tool to determine the availability of the
device and the location. I think if you search the group you
will find it.?

Yes, that happens if you use the "-p" command line option and don't read anything from the pseudo terminal.
The operating system buffer fills up and the write fails.
?
Solution:? Don't put "-p" on the command line unless you need the pseudo terminal interface.

Re: Direwolf CM108 support on Mac OS
Hi Larrie,
The main Direwolf repository does not (yet) include support for CM108 on Mac. I submitted a Pull Request back in November 2023, but while the changes were Approved, they haven't been applied to the source tree.
Your best bet is to build from my modified version of Direwolf that includes CM108 support for Mac. The source tree is here:
Be sure to use the 'dev' branch and not 'master', so that you get the CM108 changes. Instructions for building it are in the README in that source tree, here:
A number of people here on the Direwolf group are running this successfully. I myself am running on macOS Sequoia 15.3, as you are, and have Direwolf working with both a Dinah and a homebrew CM108 solution.
Hope that helps.
Martin. KD6YAM
I have reviewed the many posts on this subject but did not find anything that has worked in my case.
Running Mac OS 15.3
Installed Mac Ports
Installed Direwolf, building from source.?
I installed the latest developmental version (1.8 D (April 26, 2025)
In config file, set Adevice to "USB audio device"
Set PTT CM108
?
Run dire wolf, get error:
Config file line 152: ?PTT with CM108 is only available when USB Audio GPIO support is enabled.? You must rebuild direwolf with CM108 Audio Adapter GPIO PTT support.
?
Also, I did make the file 99-direwolf-cmedia.rules and placed it in /etc/udev/rules.d/
Inside the file was the line:
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660"
From another post, changed this line to
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660", SYMLINK ="cm108_0"
No change in error message for either case.
?
If PTT not enabled, direwolf works fine and decodes packets.? I can interface it to the QTH app and it works fine. ?(Somehow, QTH app can key the transmitter, even though dire wolf has no PTT configured)
?
After all that, what am I not doing to get dire wolf to use CM108 for PTT?

Hello Steven,
I'm not sure what you mean by "digirig mobile devices don't
support CM108" as they DO have a CM108 chip inside them.? Next,
while there might not be a way to uniquely rename the devices, you
should be able to uniquely distinguish one vs. the other if one is
connected to one Rpi4's USB2.0 port and the other connected to a
USB3.0 port.

Several of us running BPQ systems on 40m have been using IL2P 300b for several years now centered at 7103.3 so?unless you adjust the default 1600 / 1800 tones use USB dial 7101.6 or LSB dial 7105. It is quite busy in this ACDS subband but IL2P activity is light at least what can be heard well enough to decode here. Mheard for the IL2P port here for the last 12 hours or so shows only:
mh 7
WLHNOD:WA3WLH-7} Heard List for Port 7
KB9PVH???? 00:00:59:32

There is similar IL2P activity on 20m centered somewhere around 14103.3 but my 20m port is too far above that range to provide mheard details.

There are two different independent concepts:
?
(1) Modem (L1) which converts between an audio stream and data bits with no structure.
?
direwolf supports the V.26B QPSK mode used by MFJ and a couple other companies back in the previous Century and at least one other software TNC.
Details: ?
"QPSK" a generic term;? I don't know if the NinoTNC uses this de facto standard or some other variation.
?
(2) Framing (L2) which refers to how groups of bits are sent over a communication channel.
?
This includes AX.25, FX.25, and IL2P.
direwolf implements IL2P and was tested to to be complete interoperable with the NinoTNC.
Since that time NinoTNC added a extra CRC at the end for better error detection.
direwolf does not have this yet.
There could be a situation where you can hear them but they can't hear you due to lack of the new CRC at the end.
?
I hope this helps.
?

I started playing with DW, and things are working. At
least I can decode some HF traffic.
I wanted to try out IL2P, and read through the documentation.
I have a few questions:
Does DW implement all L1 suggested bt IL2P v0.6 spec, like QPSK
and PSK?
Do you know any BBS or other station I can test with?
I use DW 1.7
Thanks and 73 de HA5OGL

Thanks for the reply. I tweaked alsa, rig, and backed off the Signalink tx. Found a sweet spot and seems to be working.

Re: ISS digipeater functional?
The ARISS site is more "plan" than short-term actual.? It can lag
behind if there's a surprise situation, but will eventually catch up
as it has now.? A better view is here, based on reception reports:?
