Baukasten is the continuation of the projects OpenAX25, FreeAX25 and ax25c that are no longer developed. It is build upon my experiences of these attempts with differnt languages and environments.

bk is an acronym for the deutsche word Baukasten that means a general purpose kit. Indeed this Baukasten is very general, but it is of course dedicated for communication applications like packet radio or new packet radio or Daisy what is in active development also.

Baukasten is written in C++ 20 but has pure C interfaces to the plugins it can dynamically load at runtime. What plugins are loaded and how they are interconnected is controlled by a json file. I do not longer use XML because I have written a beatiful leightweight JSON library jsonx and Baukasten uses JSON internally for the exchange of meta data between the plugins and the runtime.

This project is currently under development and not at all ready for usage. I have not so much time to continue development, but it will go on. The other projects are still existing because some people have shared it and they are, like all my stuff, licensed by GNU GPL3.

See you on the bands,

PS: I do not longer use the words 'german' and 'germany', because we are not 'any germs'. The Allied have given us this name to offend our people and we are not longer willing to let this happen.

So, we are Deutsche and we are living in Deutschland. That's how it is.

Take care!
