Created initial page with information provided by W9CR's wiki at https://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/Dahdi_dummy
=DAHDI Dummy=
Or how to fix my ASL node from stuttering when I use it.

<sup>Credit: Information taken from W9CR's wiki <ref>W9CR's Wiki - Dahdi dummy[https://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/Dahdi_dummy]</ref></sup>

== Compiling ==

=== Raspberry PI ASL 1.01 systems ===
For ASL 1.01 systems [https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Main_Page#Downloads ASL 1.01 system].

# ensure your system is up and going, with the kernel pinned per the [http://dvswitch.org/files/ASL_Images/Raspberry_Pi/Stretch/ASL_1.01-20180228-armhf-raspbian-stretch-image.readme readme]
# apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel-headers raspberrypi-kernel

Now run the following commands:

# apt-get install gcc raspberrypi-kernel-headers make vim git
# vim /usr/src/asl-dahdi-linux-2.11.1/linux/drivers/dahdi/Kbuild remove the # from the dummy file
# cd /usr/src/asl-dahdi-linux-2.11.1
# make
# make install
# echo -e "#needed for rpi timing \ndahdi_dummy" >>/etc/modules # add it to modules.conf
# modprobe dahdi_dummy
# service restart asterisk

=== Others ===
To build as root:
# cd /usr/src/asl-dahdi-linux-2.11.1/linux
# export MODULES_EXTRA='dahdi_dummy'
# make

=== Loading module ===
Now you need to load the module into the Linux kernel for use.

# insmod /usr/src/asl-dahdi-linux-2.11.1/linux/drivers/dahdi/dahdi_dummy.ko

Verify the module is loaded along with other DAHDI dependencies

# lsmod |grep dahdi
dahdi_dummy 3432 0
dahdi 229561 35 dahdi_dummy
crc_ccitt 1771 1 dahdi
== Configuring DAHDI ==
You will need to do dahdi_genconf and then dahdi_cfg. ASL1.01 is missing this in the service script that starts asterisk. It needs to be added.

Restart asterisk
# service asterisk restart

Run dahdi_scan to view results:

# dahdi_scan
