GNURadio on Raspberry Pi

Is there any way to get an install the gnuradio binaries on raspberry-pi?

I attempted to build the GNURadio on Raspberry Pi. After several hours and many attempts, the build script failed as it could not find libraries with prefix libfftw. Nevertheless I did install them. If I cannot get binaries, how do I successfully compile it?

Alternatively, can I use the GNURadio & companion GUI on an x86 to build an executable that would run on Pi? Is GNURadio not a bunch of Python Scripts?

A long shot but have you looked at http://www.fftw.org/

Not much is discussed in the FAQ or docs about library not found. And I had installed all libraries that had libfftw prefix. Nothing had worked.

After installing fftw*, the buildscript managed to proceed. A flaw in the script I suppose.

Okay. I finally managed to get the error rounded up. I could not get a proper screen shot

A little bit of search got me a patch - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/patch ... 65EP52.txt
However, while applying this patch, I discover that it has already been applied to the git repository. So that is another dead end

I tried to compile it with the the neon disabled

Code: Select all

cmake -Dhave_mfpu_neon=0 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" -CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-fexceptions" -CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc" ../

And ended up getting consistent errors at 37% - "Internal Compiler error - file bug report"

I finally got it to compile. It might be that the lack of memory was causing problems along with other things. Increasing the swap space helped.

I managed to get gnuradio to compile after looking at a few guides. I used distcc to try and speed up the process, which as a bit of a pig to setup.

Code: Select all

apt-get install python-cheetah libboost-all-dev python-lxml python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy python-lxml libfftw3-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-scipy python-matplotlib python-tk octave liboctave-dev libgsl0-dev python-sphinx libcppunit-dev libuhd-dev swig python-qt4-dev libqwt-dev git


Code: Select all

cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/distcc/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/distcc/g++ -Dhave_mfpu_neon=0 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" ../

I'm going to see how modes_rx runs and hopefully I'll be able to do some ADS-B capture.

Mini-update:

It looks like modes_rx consumes too much CPU for it to work, which is a shame, although it is possible to run rtl_tcp on the Pi and send the data via network cable to another PC running modes_rx. I've tried using a wireless connection but it doesn't really have enough bandwidth.

I'm recompiling gnuradio with some more aggressive CFLAGS but I'm not holding out much hope.

Hello!
First of all sorry for my bad english!

Translated the GNU Radio and everything is fine.
The start of the GRC, a simple structure (signal -> sound sink) are working properly.
If the assembly is Complex-float conversion, the program freezes at the part and just kill you can kill it. (Do not gui version I'm using, but console versions), we tested a ny statement after you enter "Print" in, complex-float conversion in the first crash.

What could be the problem? The program compiled without errors ....

It would be nice if someone would help, because this is a very important project, and it stuck!

Hi,

I read some texts where ppl could compile GRC on RPi direct. BUT: what happened then? Did someone could compile AND run software like gr-air-modes or gr-ais, for example?

I read nothing about this after ppl did compile grc...

Does it not work on RPi because of "low" perfmormance?
