PTT stuck on at boot

[toyotahead]

I am in the process of upgrading my shack away from raspberry pi's. Consolidating all the individual rpi's functions onto a 8 core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz CPU, 32GB ram, 512G SSD machine. The bare metal has Proxmox 8.2.7 on it. All of the various other functions (Allstar, APRS, APRSC, WEEWX, NOAAv2, OpenWebRX, ADS-B, and likely others I have forgotten at this moment) I have been able to get to work as a CT rather then as a VM except Allstar. So Allstar is the only VM and has a dedicated CM108 passed through to it. Yes I agree, it is complete overkill....

Describe the bug I am experiencing an issue with the PTT being stuck keyed upon first boot or whenever asterisk is restarted. To make it "behave" I went into Interface Tune CLI, and entered F to make the transmitter key up a few times with a test tone. (obviously the PTT is already keyed) Upon doing so the 3 tones can be heard, and once done the PTT remains off. From that point forward the PTT operates as per normal until the next reboot or restart of asterisk.

For a possible reference, a similar sounding but not exactly the same issue from the past: https://github.com/AllStarLink/ASL3/issues/76

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Warm or Cold boot the system (PTT is unkeyed at this point throughout BIOS and into the early stages of loading Debian12)
2. As the system boot nears the console prompt the PTT becomes keyed and remains keyed indefinitely. The longest I have waited was 10min (radio was on ultra low power into a dummy load)
3. At this point if I enter the ASL-Menu and drill into the Interface Tuning CLI and initiate a F (Toggle PTT and Tone output several times) the radio will transmit 3x tones. The 1st tone is heard, PTT drops, PTT keys + 2nd tone, PTT drops, PTT keys + 3rd tone, PTT drops. At the conclusion of the 3rd tone the PTT remains off.
4. PTT will now key up correctly from here forward because of local rf, internet traffic, telemetry, etc until the next reboot or restart of asterisk.

Expected behaviour

• Expected behaviour is that upon boot the PTT would remain in an unkeyed state until an active TX event initiates.
• Expected behaviour is that upon restarting asterisk the PTT would remain in an unkeyed state until an active TX event initiates.

Have you run a software update and rebooted?

• YES

Platform

• A fresh Debian 12 Virtual Machine (non UEFI) running under a fresh Proxmox v8.2.7 (followed these instructions: https://allstarlink.github.io/user-guide/install/ )
• CM108 usb is attached to the VM via hardware passthru
• Radio Interface is a CM108 as a SimpleUSB device, Duplex 2.

Additional context Using a CM108 to interface to the radios CDM750's. (In the past this adapter has worked flawlessly for years on these same radios while on a rpi 3b+ and the older allstar version) I am aware there are a few variants of CM108's out there but I am not sure how to identify this any more accurately as the pcb has been encapsulated in black expoxy and I can not read the writing on the chip.

@toyotahead The thread you linked to says that this was fixed in 3.0.11 but you are still running 3.0.6 from the logs above. What steps did you actually do to perform the software update? @jxmx Are x86_64 packages always updated to the same version that the arch64 packages are?

[jxmx]

Yes x86_64 and arm are always in sync

[Allan-N]

The 3.0.11 reference was the Pi Appliance image version (allstar3-arm64-3.0.11.img.xz), not the app_rpt version (3.0.6)

... and, yes, we have too many version #'s

[KB4MDD]

I need more debugging information.

Edit /etc/asterisk/logger.conf Change messages.log => notice,warning,error,dtmf to read messages.log => notice,warning,error,dtmf,debug,verbose

Edit /etc/asterisk/cli.conf
Add a line to the bottom that reads core set debug 7 chan_simpleusb.so

Stop asterisk systemctl stop asterisk Remove the current messages.log rm /var/log/asterisk/messages.log

Start asterisk systemctl start asterisk

Attach the messages.log to this issue (provided that you are keyed up when you restart).

If debugging is enabled and we are logging debug messages, we should be seeing the PTT action recorded in messages.log. I don't see any debug messages from simpleusb.

Since I did the instructions you mentioned earlier I have:

• executed the Interface Tune CLI option F (which keys the transmitter 3x
• there have been regular telemetry events
• ive connected to a remote node which has been keying up the transmitter seemingly normally without issue

Yet I do not see any of those events either?

Also I am having a thought... what happens to the cm108's GPIO during an asterisk restart? Is there any initialization etc taking place? perhaps in this direction might be of interest?

Attached log again of since your instructions: messages.log

I've confirmed the files have been edited as per your instructions, please config files.txt see attached.

@toyotahead any chance you can give me access to the machine?

I will note that we have not tested on a vm with usb pass through.

Hello KB4MDD,

Does this mean you found something wrong, or was i just not looking in the correct file earlier? Would you like me to reboot and see now? I will leave it as is until you green light me to do so.

Best regards.

[KB4MDD]

@toyotahead You are clear to use your node. I have data that I can now review to see what I can find. I have not made any changes at this point.
