Hi guys,
I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to start with a couple of them right now.
Tickets:
Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a single redmine we can either:
* not import tickets
* only import from one project
* deal with changing ticket numbers
In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number?
Wiki:
We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this?
kind regards
holger
If would be nice to have a newer official release available; installation
using the package manager on many Linux distros gets a two year old
librtlsdr that's missing the rtlsdr_set_tuner_bandwidth function (added
about nine months ago), as well as, other nice updates and fixes.
cheers,

Hello,
When I use heatmap.py with output from rtl_power I get regularly spaced
vertical lines that do not appear to be related to any signal. They
look they like repeat at the dongle bandwidth (2048000Hz in this case).
The crop option for rtl_power reduces the presence but I am not sure f
that is intended by that option. Even at -c of 70% they are still there
(see attachment).
Is this because of small bin width? If I use a larger bin (32k) they
are still there. In this case there is no frequency legend along top so
can't compare if they happen more often.
Are these lines to be expected?

After pulling gr-fosphor `master` today and compiling against the latest
GNURadio, I noticed that it failed when attempting to link against
libgnuradio, due to missing pmt symbols. The attached one-line patch fixes
the issue, but I imagine would break compilation against older GNURadio
releases.
If there is a better way for me to submit this patch, please let me know.
I had previously emailed one of the gr-fosphor developers with a separate
issue regarding libpng issues out of ignorance of this mailing list. I
don't want to disturb you developers any more than need be, so if there is
a better forum than this for patches/pull requests, I am more than happy to
use it.

Hi there,
In debian, sdrangelove is having some build issues on mipsel [0].
At first, there was an issue regarding the '-msse2' switch.
If I delete the switch, then another build error happens:

Do you have any hint for this?

This patch make GnuRadion version less strict and allows build with
GnuRadio 3.8 (current git version).
It makes live more bearable for those of us who live on bleeding edge.
P
Last July there were several changes made to the Airspy firmware and
libairspy that added support for a new bit packing mode where 4 sets of
12 bit samples are packed into 3 sets of 16 bits for the transfer across
the USB bus ( https://i.imgur.com/qXnWoEK.png?1 ). 25% less data is
transferred across the bus and this is good for some computers with
cheap USB chipsets. There is an overhead of extra memory bandwidth
required on the host side to unpack the data into a useful format, so
for optimal performance bit packing is disabled by default.
The data is automatically unpacked within libairspy before being passed
along, so no changes are required anywhere else if packing is enabled
(or not enabled). Airspy firmware older than v1.0.0-rc6 does not have
the function, but that is detected and handled by libairspy.
I wrote the attached patch to enable packing in gr-osmosdr, which I
tested and it works. It is basically a clone of the bias=0|1 lines as
pack=0|1 and calls the needed libairspy function.

Do some Baseline test with Airspy command line tools to have something
to compare USB throughput results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
$ sudo modprobe usbmon
$ wireshark -i usbmod3 &
$ airspy_info ; sleep 120 ; \
airspy_rx -t 4 -r /dev/null -n 2400000000 ; sleep 120 ; \
airspy_rx -t 4 -r /dev/null -p 1 -n 2400000000 ; sleep 120 ; \
airspy_info
Wireshark->Statistics->IO Graph
The Bytes/Tick are double the actual data rate because of way wireshark
collects the USB packets, I could have added a filter to fix this. But
the relationship is valid 25% less with packing enabled. The data rate
in the IO Grahp drops from 80MB/sec (in+out) [really 40MB/sec] to
60MB/second (in+out) [really 30MB/sec] from unpacked to packed.
10MSPS no packing, packing https://i.imgur.com/pA9LPdE.png?1
2.5MSPS no packing, packing https://i.imgur.com/lA8q5aq.png?1
Verification test with my patched gr-osmosdr
--------------------------------------------
$ sudo mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
$ sudo modprobe usbmon
$ wireshark -i usbmod3 &
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 10000000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=1" -s 10000000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=1" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
I ran all of the above tests and the wireshark USB throughput graphs
showed exactly what was expected.
40MB/sec(10MSPS+normal),30MB/sec(10MSPS+packing),10MB/sec(2.5MSPS+normal),7.5MB/sec(2.5MSPS+packing),10MB/sec(2.5MSPS+normal),10MB/sec(2.5MSPS+normal).
25% less when packing was enabled and if you did not specify the
"pack=1", then no bit packing is performed by libairspy. All the
magnitudes within the FFT windows looked exactly the same as they do
without bit packing.
Hi,
When I run the command rtl_test I get the message like Reading samples
in async mode and then there is no output.
But when I give commands like rtl_test -p I get the expected output.
Please help me in fixing this issue.

Hi,
I was trying to build rtl-sdr on windows using mingw64 and stumbled upon
the error described here [1]

I was able to build rtl-sdr using the attached patch. I exchange the order

Greetings.
As I am looking to build a multi-channel NBFM communications recording
device for a public service event, I'd like to know the status of the
Osmocom hardware. I can use the RTL-SDR, but perhaps a board with more
horsepower would be good.
/K1MGY
Fix bytes_to_read adjustment in callback.
For example bug exposes itself with:
rtl_sdr -f 100e6 -s 2048000 -n 245.76e6 /tmp/100M.iq
and does not terminate after the expected 245.76e6 samples.
Which is an exact multiple of "out_block_size".
