Notices and Warnings
- If you are restoring configuration files from another node, do NOT bring over modules.conf, as your node will not start if you do
Flashing
For all operating systems, we recommend downloading and installing balenaEtcher. It's available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. If you're flashing for RaspberryPi, an SD card reader is required.
USB Thumbdrive (PC/Pi4)
1. Follow the directions below, but use a USB thumbdrive instead.
SD Card (Pi2-Pi4)
1. Open balenaEtcher
2. Insert your SD card into your SD card reader
3. Press "Select Image" and locate the downloaded image (e.g. ASL_1.01-20180228-armhf-raspbian-stretch-image)
4. If your SD card is ready to flash, you can simply press the "Flash!" button:
5. Insert your SD card into your Raspberry Pi and boot it up!
Auto-connecting to WiFi
To auto-connect to WiFi after the first boot, you can place a file called "wpa_supplicant.conf" in the boot directory of the USB/SD card.
- Generate a wpa_supplicant.conf file here:
https://www.allstarlink.org/wifi-builder.php
- After flashing, remove the USB or SD card and re-insert.
- A volume "boot" will now be available. Place the wpa_supplicant.conf in this directory.

HTTP Registration HOWTO
HTTP Registration replaced IAX registration by default in the new ASL Beta 2 image. If you're trying to debug registration, make sure to look at requests on port 80 and 443 instead of 4569 UDP. If you wish to use the legacy IAX registration, you can change your register line from:
register=
to
registeriax=
