Nightly Build Reminder
The AREDN team greatly appreciates all of the testing of the nightly builds as they roll out and introduce the new code base and features. We are paying close attention to your reports of successes and problems found.
Just as a reminder:
IMPORTANT NOTE: While AREDN encourages you to download, install and test the nightly builds and report any issues found, DO NOT install them in any node that doesn’t have easy access (e.g., towers, water tanks or mountain tops). By definition nightly builds are not to be considered production grade software.

AREDN Development Plan 2022
Following their recent code production release, AREDN has embarked on an ambitious development plan. Here’s a basic overview of what is on their plate
Replace Perl code with Lua
The programming language for the user interface, services and many other functions is written in Perl. The Perl libraries are very large and AREDN has embarked upon a project to replace it with Lua, a much lighter weight programming language designed to run in embedded devices.
In steps, the team will update the “read-only” page to Lua:
Main, Mesh Status, etc.
Then the read-write pages will be updated:
-
Basic Setup
-
Port Forwarding DHCP and Services
-
Tunnel Server
-
Tunnel Client
-
Administration
-
Advanced
-
Configuration
-
And some others
Resync with OpenWRT
Then the code base will be updated to OpenWRT 21.02.1. Besides code enhancements and security fixes, it brings in:

AREDN® Release Notes v3.22.1.0 16 January 2022
The AREDN team is pleased to announce the general availability of the latest stable release of AREDN firmware.
This release includes many significant improvements in the underlying OpenWRT code and stability/scalability fixes to the OLSR mesh routing protocol.
List of Changes:
-
The AREDN simplified firmware filename standard has been changed to the default OpenWRT convention to leverage data files created at build time for future automation of firmware selection.
When installing this firmware release, from prior firmware versions, you may get an error message similar to
“This filename is NOT appropriate for this device.“
“This device expects a file such as: aredn-3.22.1.0-main-ef2d605-ubnt-nano-m-xw-.*sysupgrade.bin”
“Click OK to continue if you are CERTAIN that the file is correct”
Ensure that you are loading the correct file by referring to the downloads page, then safely ignore the warning. Once this release is loaded, this error message will never occur again.

When the size of the hostname and service advertisements exceeded the size of a single network packet, only IP addresses would be known. The...

Happy Mesh Year! Yet another network test!
"PARDEN" the interruption! October's Meshoween network test was so successful that, we've decided to celebrate with another one at the end of the year. We'll celebrate New Nodes Eve and then Happy Mesh Year!
Seriously, this is an opportunity to stress the network again after the router storm mitigation patch has time to promulgate throughout the network. Meshoween also revealed an issue with the performance of the Mesh Status page when the node count got high. Both these patches were published in nightly builds in early November. If your node's running a nightly build later than that, you should be good to go.
The WWL - "World Wide Linkup" will start at 000Z on 1/1/2022 (afternoon of the 31st for the U.S.) and last at least 4 hours. If you've brought up a tunnel that you don't normally use, feel free to drop it anytime after 4 hours.
So crank up those tunnels and be on the lookout for network wierdnesses.

Ham Radio Presentations at SCALE 17X on YouTube
The ham radio presentations from the SCALE 17X conference are now available on YouTube.
The presentations are:
1. Orv Beach, W6BI will detail that growth with emphasis on Southern California, with metrics, maps and graphs. He'll also cover some of the more significant network events, including the ability to stream video of recent brush fires from networked mountaintop webcams to YouTube.
2. Paul Wilkinson, K6IG talks about “Raspberry Pi + HAM Radio = Inexpensive repeater system”. With little effort a very powerful HAM repeater can be made with a Raspberry Pi, two HAM radios, and an internet connection. Some additional, yet inexpensive, hardware is required.
3. Ben Kuo, AI6YR presents “Linux, Raspberry PI, RTLSDR, LAME, and Open Source: A Recipe For Responding To Natural Disasters”. He covers both the why's and how's of putting together your own Raspberry Pi-based, open source system to help your own local community tap into the power of the crowdsourcing and social media emergency management.
