GO HERE Which IncrediblePBX Version For Raspberry Pi 3 Should I Use

[howie954]

I was very much into this for awhile but went overseas for a couple years and now I am back and want to get back into the swing of things. I loved testing Raspberry Pi and IncrediblePBX and I just bought the latest RSB Pi 3b+ and wasnt sure which IncrediblePBX distro I should be using. I read somewhere in Nerd Vittles that Google Voice is no longer supported so which iso should I be using?

incrediblepbx13-raspbian8-gvsip.zip

or

IncrediblePBX13-13 ISO

ISO won't work. Go here.

That's exactly where I went originally and this is the tutorial I was following:

1. Download and unzip Incredible PBX 13 GVSIP image from SourceForge
2. Transfer Incredible PBX image to microSD card
3. Boot Raspberry Pi from new microSD card (8GB or larger)
....

Isn't the Incredible PBX 13 GVSIP an ISO File or am I missing something?

ISO File

The file incrediblepbx13-raspbian8-gvsip.zip is a ..zip file When unzipped you get incrediblepbx13-raspbian8-gvsip.img file which is an image taken from an SD card probably created with

dd

Did you by any chance download the .iso file which sourceforge in its ignorance offers to the unsuspecting. You needed to Read the readme text which (without my checking) usually tells you to skip the ISO.

Good luck

I downloaded it but i did not write it. I would very much prefer not to using an existing image and install everything from scratch but I do not see anywhere in this tutorial how to do otherwise unless I am missing something and no Read Me file was accompanied.

and no Read Me file was accompanied

There is in fact a readme.txt file on the Sourceforge site and you are correct, the note is missing; about not downloading the flagship latest version of pbxinaflash ISO that 'sourceforge' deems to be what it thought is the subject of the page when in fact the page is for the Rpi version.
Perhaps @wardmundy might look at that when time permits?

Sorry that what I had referred to was an earlier readme.

I don't know I have not ventured there.

incrediblepbx on raspbian8 platform for RPi3+ is a different thing; as detailed in the tutorial The Gold Standard: It’s Incredible PBX for Raspberry Pi 3B+
aslink in @wardmundy post above.

The intent is open source and as near as no gotchas as possible; and including the various bells an whistles mentioned.
