New Model #12025
openUpdated CHIRP driver for F4HWN firmware on UV-K5
0%
Description
I am working with the F4HWN firmware team to get their driver into a standard CHIRP format to support the F4HWN firmware which has significant additional development beyond the latest Egzumer firmware which it was forked from. I will aim to keep this issue updated with the latest developments on the driver.
The firmware is here: https://github.com/armel/uv-k5-firmware-custom
Chirp driver is here: https://github.com/armel/uv-k5-chirp-driver
Chirp driver development issue is here: https://github.com/armel/uv-k5-chirp-driver/issues/58
At the time of writing the latest F4HWN firmware & associated CHIRP driver version is 4.0.0
I understand the list of things which need to be done to adapt the current CHIRP driver into one that is in a format that CHIRP core developers would consider the minimal acceptable structure to be considered (and that right now it won't be considered), e.g. from comments on #11270.
This new issue is required to allow me to load the module into CHIRP without having to copy files directly into the CHIRP installation after each upgrade. If there is a better way to manage that please let me know.

Thanks Ian. I would normally just want to re-use the existing issue instead of opening a new one, but since you already did and have more of a plan detailed here I've marked #11270 as a dupe of this so it will be closed when this one does.
But yes, keeping this updated with status and the latest thing will make it easier for people to help you test. For your own development I'd expect you'd want to get a real development environment set up (per DevelopersPython3Environment). That may be obvious but I wasn't sure based on what you said above.

Understood to use the CHIRP development environment setup.
