Build Problem: gr-osmosdr and FreeBSD
by Kevin McQuiggin 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

Hi All: I have gnuradio 3.6 running under FreeBSD 9.2. This is the latest port of gnuradio on that platform. I would like to build gr-osmosdr so that I can use my Realtek USB dongle under gnuradio-companion. I followed the procedure at http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GrOsmoSDR: 1) Got the source: git clone git://git.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr cd gr-osmosdr/ 2) Followed the direction for use with gnuradio 3.6: git checkout gr3.6 3) Created the build environment: mkdir build cd build/ cmake ../ 4) However, "make" fails with the following error: make [ 24%] Building CXX object lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-osmosdr.dir/rtl/rtl_source_c.cc.o /home/kevin/gr-osmosdr/lib/rtl/rtl_source_c.cc: In member function 'virtual osmosdr::freq_range_t rtl_source_c::get_freq_range(size_t)': /home/kevin/gr-osmosdr/lib/rtl/rtl_source_c.cc:468: error: 'RTLSDR_TUNER_R828D' was not declared in this scope /usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp: At global scope: /usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:222: warning: 'boost::system::posix_category' defined but not used /usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:223: warning: 'boost::system::errno_ecat' defined but not used /usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:224: warning: 'boost::system::native_ecat' defined but not used *** [lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-osmosdr.dir/rtl/rtl_source_c.cc.o] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/kevin/gr-osmosdr/build. *** [lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-osmosdr.dir/all] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/kevin/gr-osmosdr/build. *** [all] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/kevin/gr-osmosdr/build. I did some research on the error and the missing declaration. While there is a previous post from another person who experienced this error, I can't follow the proven solution of "upgrade to gnuradio 3.7" as I expect that this would not be trivial, and in fact very complex, under FreeBSD. I have no porting/port conversion experience. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this, and whether there is a known solution. Thanks, Kevin

AMR Receiver
by Douglas Hall 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

I just recently finished an rtl-sdr based automatic meter reading receiver for smart commodity meters, thought it might be useful to add to the list of known applications table on the wiki. I don't currently have a trac account so I cannot add it myself. Name: rtlamr Source: https://github.com/bemasher/rtlamr Blog Post: http://bemasher.github.io/rtlamr/2014/02/08/innards.html -BeMasher

bug report
by Al Smith 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

I'm getting some errors when using gnuradio-companion with the osmocom source that I think might be a bug related to this patch: cgit.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr/commit/?id=e5f7b28093c10f05d272bcf12c6c4b6583af… This is the output I get: Using Volk machine: avx_32_mmx_orc gr-osmosdr v0.1.0-66-g154c4ddd (0.1.1git) gnuradio 3.7.1 built-in source types: file fcd rtl_tcp bladerf rfspace [bladeRF source] Using nuand LLC bladeRF #0 SN 909d...c10c FW v1.6.1 FPGA v0.0.2 Failed to set out of bound frequency: 1.37912e+08 aUaUaUaUaUaUaU When I look at the patch in the commit I linked above that error relates to setting the input frequency. There are 2 expected parameters get_freq_range( chan ).start() get_freq_range( chan ).stop() but in the GUI osmocom source there is only Ch0 Frequency (center) and Ch0 Bandwidth, both of which I have set. I don't see a way to define the start and stop frequency which seems to be generating this error.

how to build gr-osmosdr for GnuRadio wheezy-raspbian distribution on Raspberry Pi
by Murat Toloğlu 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi All, I have easily and smoothly installed GnuRadio 3.7.2.1 on Raspberry Pi with this procedure: 1. Add the following entry to the /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi (reboot after modification) 2. sudo apt-get update 3. sudo apt-get install gnuradio Installation completed in about 1 hour and GnuRadio together with GnuRadio Companion Works on my RPi. However, when it comes to build Gr-Osmosdr trouble starts. I couldn't pass the CMAKE stage of Gr-Osmosdr build process. I remembered and applied the classical "export PATH, PYTHOPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH correction" and added necessary lines at the end of ./.bashrc . My install directory was /usr (without /local) !?? anyway I've added /usr/bin, /usr/lib ..etc. to appropriate places but this couldn't be a solution. Cmake couldn't find GnuradioConfig.cmake file, I found this file of the same version on my other computer running without problem and copied the missed file into correct directory on Rpi. This couldn't be the solution either. Then, Cmake couldn't locate gnuradio-runtime.pc file, similarly I copied gnuradio-runtime.pc of same version from another computer to RPi but this couldn't be a solution either. Now I get the same error message of this : http://gnuradio.org/redmine/issues/591 (Unable to compile out of tree projects due to wrong FindGnuradio.cmake) I am really tired. I have enough experience on installing - uninstalling Gnuradio building from the source, I have made this install uninstall building process several times but I am first time trying installation of a built gnuradio. Is there a way of recovering the existing install and continue building out of tree projects ? I appreciate your help, Kind regards 73 Murat TA1DB

odd results working at 250ksp/s
by David Jacobowitz 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi, I've been working on a project the involves tuning VOR signals. They are narrow band signals. > 25 kHz. For that, the wide bandwidth of the RTL dongles isn't that helpful to me. (and actually a hindrance when two signals are inside the sample range but widely different strengths) Anyway, the lowest I can get my dongles (R820T) to go is 250ksps, which is fine. I've been working at that frequency for awhile, but getting some strange results. For example, if I tune in to 116.8 MHz, which should be the OAK VOR, it works fine. But if I tune to 115.8 MHz, which should be the SFO VOR I get ... the OAK VOR. That is, there is a perfect copy of the OAK signal 1 MHz shifted down. If I switch the sample rate to 1.024Msps or 900ksps, I don't get this problem. I don't understand what is happening here. 1 MHz is an even multiple of 250kHz, so maybe I'm getting an image of OAK overpowering the relatively weaker SFO signal. But should there not be filters that manage this? I guess I was expecting that if the device is set to 250ksps, then it would "close down" filters appropriately to reject signals out of that band. But maybe the filters don't work properly below a certain sample rate? Like the rtl2832 can sample down to 250ksps, but the 820T tuner was not designed for it? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Can I control the filters directly? I'm glad I find this issue because I was going nuts thinking my software had some mysterious bug. But I can reproduce this issue just with SDR# or whatever. :-) Regards. Dave J

pfb_decimator_ccf(13): insufficient connected input ports (5 needed, 1 connected)
by JIANG Pin A 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi, all I try to re-structure the osmo-tetra to work with GNU Radio 3.7. The osmo-tetra is based on GNU Radio 3.6. The original code has tuner, resampler, demodulater three modules which connected sequentially. The resampler is based on function pfb_decimator_ccf which changes from 3.6 to 3.7. The pfb_decimator_ccf only take single parameter decimation, which changes in 3.7, After reading the manual of 3.7, I made following changes to the python script : Add a low-pass filter " taps = filter.firdes.low_pass_2(1, fs, options.low_pass, options.low_pass * 0.2, attenuation_dB=ATT, window=filter.firdes.WIN_BLACKMAN_hARRIS) " Change "self.resamp = blks2.pfb_decimator_ccf(int(rerate)) " to " self.resamp = filter.pfb_decimator.ccf(int(rerate), taps, 0) " But error still occurs when connecting modules " self.connect(self.src, self.tuner, self.resamp, self.demod, self.output) " : Traceback (most recent call last): File "./osmosdr-tetra_demod_fft.py", line 264, in <module> tb.Run(True) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grc_gnuradio/wxgui/top_block_gui.py", line 82, in Run self.Start(start, max_nouts) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grc_gnuradio/wxgui/top_block_gui.py", line 73, in Start self.start() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/top_block.py", line 103, in start top_block_start_unlocked(self._tb, max_noutput_items) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/runtime_swig.py", line 4612, in top_block_start_unlocked return _runtime_swig.top_block_start_unlocked(*args, **kwargs) RuntimeError: pfb_decimator_ccf(13): insufficient connected input ports (5 needed, 1 connected) Does it indicate pfb_decimator_ccf take 5 inputs ? It puzzled me. Best Regards, Jiang Pin

Dear all, Time has come to fill out the "Talks/Discussions/Workshop / Hacking" section of the wiki page. If you have something you'd like to present, talk about or hack on, add it there. A simple descriptive title along with an estimated duration is enough. I guess we'll collect those for 2/3 weeks and then start making the schedule. Cheers, Sylvain

new FM demodulator
by Anders Lynge Esbensen 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Hi and thanks for a great tool set. I've implemented a faster FM demodulator for rlt_fm. Its an instantaneous frequency demodulator, like the already implemented atan method, but it uses some math tricks to get rid of the the actual atan calculation. Feel free to use it if you wish Best regards Anders
