This little program emulates several AnyTone devices, such that codeplugs written by the manufacturer CPS, can be captured and analyzed. For the maximum convenience, this tool either generates a pair of pseudo-terminals (under Linux), that can be exposed as COM ports to wine. This allows for running the manufacturer CPS in wine, eliminating the need for a windows VM. Alternatively, it opens a serial interface (one of a pair of so-called virtual null-modem cables) under windows and emulates an AnyTone device there.
This tool is build with Qt 6 using QtSerialPort to talk to the serial port on windows and Linux. You will need these development packages to build anytone-emu. The build tool is cmake, so that one is needed too.
For example, the call
> anytone-emu --device=dmr6x2uv --dump
or equivalently, the call showing all default-values
> anytone-emu --device=dmr6x2uv --dump --loglevel=info --interface=pty
will create a pseudo-terminal and connect the emulation of a BTECH DMR-6X2UV to that. This PTY is
then linked to ~/.local/share/anytone-emu/anytoneport. From there, your CPS can access it through
wine.
To expose this PTY to applications running under wine, run
> wine regedit
And add a string-value to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\Ports. The name is then (e.g.)
COM1 while the value should point to the linked PTY. $HOME/.local/share/anytone-emu/anytoneport,
where $HOME should the absolute path to you home directory.
Then, you may need to restart the wineserver with
wineserver -k
Then start the CPS application using wine and select the configured COM port as the interface to the device within the CPS.
There are several CPSs, which do not appear to run easily under wine. This table collects which CPSs appear to work with wine.
| CPS | Version | Wine 6 | Wine 8 | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AnyTone D868UVE | 1.40 | not tested | yes | |
| AnyTone D878UV | 3.02n | no | crashes | |
| AnyTone D878UV II | 3.02n | not tested | crashes | |
| AnyTone D578UV (II) | 1.18 | not tested | crashes | |
| BTECH DMR-6X2UV | 2.04 | not tested | yes | |
| BTECH DMR-6X2UV Pro | 1.01k | yes | not tested | |
| Alinco DJ-MD5 | 1.13e | not tested | yes |
--help-- Obvious help message.--version-- Show version number--dump-- Just dumps the received codeplug as a hex-dump. Either to stdout or to a file, specified by--output.--diff=MODE-- Dumps only the difference between codeplugs. TheMODEspecifies the codeplugs to be compared. Thefirstmode compares each received codeplug with the first one, whilepreviouscompares the last two received codeplugs.--interface=IF-- Specifies the interface to the CPS. This is eitherptyorcomX. The former will create a PTY pair and link$HOME/.local/share/anytone-emu/anytoneportto it. This then allows to set this PTY as a COM port in the wineregedit. Ifanytone-emuis run under windows, a null-modem emulator (e.g., com2com) can be used to connect the CPS to the emulator. In this case, the null-modem emulator will create two virtual COM ports. One is passed toanytone-emuascomXthe other is set in the CPS.--device=DEVICE_ID-- Specifies which radio to emulate. Must be one ofd868uve,d878uv,d878uv2,d578uv,d578uv2,dmr6x2uvordmr6x2uv2.--output=PATTERN-- Specifies the output filename pattern using printf format. E.g., a pattern like "codeplug_%02d.hex" will generate a series of files named "codeplug_00.hex", "codeplug_01.hex",... for each received codeplug.
