Re: [Openbts-discuss] OpenBTS with Raspberry Pi

[Nicholas J. <nej...@me...>]

Interesting.  I did see the video of the UK group but they weren't too informative.  How much ram was on the pi that you were testing with?  I was also speaking with people trying to pass audio through a pie and the audio codec converting was what consistently cause the pi to fail.  Perhaps its the same issue but i'm surprised an SMS also wouldn't work either.  Is there any documentation available as to installing openBTS onto a pi?  Thanks.
