Tagging new versions of rtl-sdr and osmo-fl2k
by Harald Welte 03 Jun '18

03 Jun '18

Hi! Today I've added rtl-sdr and osmo-fl2k to the automatic nightly package builds at https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/network:osmocom:nightly I also wanted to add them to the "latest" feeds (which build that latest tagged version, as opposed to a nightly snapshot). However, for this to work we need tagged versions that include the "debian" sub-directory in the respective projects. I hence temporarily disabled the "latest" builds until that happens, see https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/network:osmocom:nightly Please let me know once new versions are tagged and the above patch can be reverted. Thanks! -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Request for help with MxL608 tuner driver (Tzumi MagicTV etc)
by James Dallas 29 May '18

29 May '18

Hi everyone, There has been a considerable discussion in the past couple of days about a device called the Tzumi MagicTV. This is an Atheros-chipset OpenWRT device connected to an RTL2832P, which seems to be used as a bridge/DAC for a MaxLinear MxL608 tuner and a Panasonic ATSC demodulator. The device is sold at Wal-Mart stores for $13, and is intended to allow the user to view OTA broadcasts using a WiFi connection to the device, which functions as an access point by default. There also seems to be an Eardatek Tevemo device which is similar. >From tear-down inspection as well as poking around the file system, some uses have concluded that the device could be used as a software defined radio with some software modifications (for example replacing the default ATSC server software with rtl_tcp). However, librtlsdr does not currently support the MxL608 tuner, and right now rtl_tcp (when placed on the openWRT device) defaults to direct sampling mode. There is a general sense in these discussion groups that MaxLinear's source code could be ported to work with librtlsdr, but someone would have to make that happen. I am sending this message to the group, to reach out with a humble request/suggest/beg that someone(s) please help us out by doing the following: 1. Sanity-check the claims being made; if what is being discussed is not workable, it would be of benefit for us to be told so. 2. Start work on forking librtlsdr and porting the MxL608 driver over (if possible/practical); 3. Coordinate with the broader community to beta-test and refine // help spread the knowledge so that the community can maintain/improve the fork and perhaps submit a pull-request in the future. Please let me know if I can help you help us by procuring/shipping a couple of hardware units for development purposes. I understand that asking people to do volunteer work can be presumptuous/annoying. All I can say in my defense is that there are already at least a few dozen people who would be really happy and appreciative if this came to fruition, and "one does not get what one does not ask for." Moreover, adding MxL608 support to librtlsdr might help broaden the hobby to include a whole bunch of other devices; MaxLinear tuners seem to be used a lot with set-top gear.

Is it possible to provide a compressed file for every git tag?
by Filipe Laíns 27 May '18

27 May '18

Hi, I am packaging some of your software for Arch Linux. For that, I need to fetch the source tree I want to build. The problem is that there's no need to fetch the whole git repository to build a specific tag. As a solution, I propose that compressed files from every tag would be available, like GitHub releases. Please let me know if this is something you would consider doing. Thanks, Filipe Laíns (FFY00) https://github.com/FFY00 3DCE 51D6 0930 EBA4 7858 BA41 46F6 33CB B0EB 4BF2 Sent via Migadu.com, world's easiest email hosting

RTLSDR Dongle Getting very hot even with out use.
by Bill Gaylord 25 May '18

25 May '18

I am having this problem with all of my dongles (from multiple sources) and was wondering if it could be some sort of problem with it not getting closed properly, In all cases the chip that gets hot is the actual SDR not the tuner. But I don’t understand why it is heating up when the dongle is not in use and is just plugged in. Or is this just some weird problem with the dongles. Sincerely, William

RTL-SDR Continuous Operation
by loay abdelrazek 25 May '18

25 May '18

Hello, would like to know, what is the average time that an RTL-SDR (R820T2) can run nonstop without affecting its internals The use case, is to sniff GSM packets noting that sniffing will take several intervals during the day, and the experiment should only run for 1 day , thus what could be the appropriate interval thanks

R820T Loop Through
by Carl Laufer 25 May '18

25 May '18

Is there any reason for this to be turned on during normal operation of the RTL-SDR? Turning it off seems to reduce current usage by 10 to 20 mA. To turn it off set reg 0x05 bit 7 to 1. Seems to turned be on by default. Haven't seen any effects from turning it off.

Hi gr-osmosdr maintainer, can I respectfully ask if the several patches to the gr-osmosdr library, sent in the past months on this list, will have a chance to be considered in the near future?

[PATCH] Fix rtl_adsb hanging upon a signal in Fedora 27
by Pete Zaitcev 23 May '18

23 May '18

This code stayed unchanged for many years, but for some reason rtl_adsb started hanging upon exit: *b66116a5164b69281eacc42ae950; ^CSignal caught, exiting! <------ hangs here forever Examining it with gdb reveals that the demod thread waits peacefully on the condition variable, which we're trying to destroy. Either the signals killed all threads before, or condition variables were possible to destroy while other threads still waited on them. The easiest fix appears to be just cancel the demod thread and wait for it to exit before proceeding for the door. --- src/rtl_adsb.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/rtl_adsb.c b/src/rtl_adsb.c index 07fdd2a..9087de4 100644 --- a/src/rtl_adsb.c +++ b/src/rtl_adsb.c @@ -492,6 +492,8 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) else { fprintf(stderr, "\nLibrary error %d, exiting...\n", r);} rtlsdr_cancel_async(dev); + pthread_cancel(demod_thread); + pthread_join(demod_thread, NULL); pthread_cond_destroy(&ready); pthread_mutex_destroy(&ready_m);

$ fl2k_file fl2k_file, a sample player for FL2K VGA dongles Usage: [-d device_index (default: 0)] [-r repeat file (default: 1)] [-s samplerate (default: 100 MS/s)] filename (use '-' to read from stdin) $ fl2k_file -s 8192000 - Failed to open - I'm perfectly willing to pitch in and fix this. How do you prefer to receive contributions?
