Wow, I think that would be a major undertaking for these dongles! I think that's a task best suited for the USRP and the OpenLTE project :) JP

LTE Cell Scanner
by James Peroulas 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

I just released an LTE cell scanner based on the rtlsdr library. If you're interested, the code is available on github: https://github.com/Evrytania/LTE-Cell-Scanner This code will search for all the LTE cells in your area and will also report the frequency error of your dongle. BR, James P.S. Many thanks for the rtlsdr library! -- Integrity is a binary state - either you have it or you don’t. - John Doerr

Can you try upgrading to the latest github code? I changed the initialization sequence for the ROM_TABLES and it might fix your problem too. BR, James

RTL_FM fails on OS X
by Christoph Gommel 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

Hello, I was completely happy that rtl-sdr builds without any problems in my iMac (with OSX 10.8.1 and latest Macports). Using a RLT2832-Dongle that is plugged into my mac on other machines via rtl_tcp works well, also recording data is working. What fails is running rtl_fm: iGommel:build chg$ rtl_fm -f 97300000 -s 44100 test.raw Found 1 device(s): 0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000291 Using device 0: ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle Found Elonics E4000 tuner Oversampling input by: 23x. Oversampling output by: 1x. Buffer size: 8.08ms Tuned to 97553575 Hz. Sampling at 1014300 Hz. Exact sample rate is: 1014300.020041 Hz Tuner gain set to -1.00 dB. Floating point exception: 8 Unfortunately i don't have the debugging skills to find the position of the Floating point exception without a high-level GUI ;) Any idea what can be done by me to help chasing the bug?

Hey all, Got some gold for ya's. Registers, the works. Even a reference design schematic. Grab it while it's hot, before the lawyers catch on.. and thanks guys for all your hard work with RTLSDR! https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=E55F3F5F75B5A7BB!1160

Say Enter "RTL readlen=524288" in the 'ExtIO : Device hint' edit field, when that is what you mean
by Jay Salsburg 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

OK I get it. I wish those who write this stuff were not so Cryptic and Acronymous. On this page ... http://wiki.spench.net/wiki/USRP_Interfaces the author has an entry that looks like this "RTL readlen=524288" yet nowhere in the immediate text is there any language stating to enter this text in the 'ExtIO : Device hint' edit field, you have to sort of guess the author thoughts. No one is ever thinking like the one who is doing the original thinking so to reproduce original thinking adequate references to what the author is thinking is required to reproduce the original thoughts in the reader's mind. Literate illustration makes everything so much easier (and a liberal sprinkling screen shots). Thanks Jay Salsburg

The real problem with this thing
by Jay Salsburg 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

I have been hacking into one of those $20 DVB-T TV Tuner Dongles. To get it to tune to the Freq I want I use the usual method with the ExtIO Drivers. The real problem with this thing, as far as making good use of the valuable E4000, is the RTL2832, even though controlling the Tuner through the USB requires the RTL2832. This clumsy Analog to Digital Converter / USB interface Chip, does not have the Audio dynamic range needed for my purposes. The infuriating predilection it has to crash every time you want to shift frequency is another disadvantage. Since the Owners of the E4000 have gone into Bankruptcy, I am taking the initiative to hack the Tuner. First, I attached a high gain audio amplifier's input directly to the Tuner's output then to a 96K Sample per Second, 24 Bit Audio card to observe a high quality spectral image from the tuner. Next is to hack into and record the I2C sent to the Tuner, so it may be controlled independent of that infuriating RTL2832. If anyone has done this, please share your code and understanding. Thanks Jay Salsburg

Yes, I started to investigate, and it seems to me that this is not a gr-osmosdr bug, but it's a gnuradio one, caused by gr-fcd. This simple test program have the same problem, yet it only uses gr-fcd. #include <iostream> #include <fcd_source_c.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { fcd_source_c_sptr fsrc; try { fsrc = fcd_make_source_c("hw:2"); // KO, from gr-fcd } catch (std::runtime_error &e) { std::cerr << "Error!\n"; } exit(0); } g++ test.cc -o test -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -lgnuradio-fcd Here is the log: audio_alsa_source[hw:2]: Device or resource busy Error! *** glibc detected *** /home/cgagneraud/sdr/gr-osmosdr/test: free(): invalid pointer: 0x08052e3c *** [...] And here is a cleaned up backtrace: operator delete gruel::msg_accepter::~msg_accepter checked_delete<gr_hier_block2> boost::detail::sp_counted_impl_p<gr_hier_block2>::dispose [...] const, boost::shared_ptr<gr_basic_block> > > >::~map __cxa_finalize __do_global_dtors_aux [...] main The problem is related to gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime/gr_sptr_magic.{h,cc} and the static std::map in there. gr_hier_block2 ctor insert "this" in this map, but then in fcd_source ctor, audio_alsa_source ctor throws an exception, so "this" (gr_hier_block2/fcd_source) is not a valid pointer anymore. When the program exits, the map get cleanup up and free is called on this pointer. It's not possible to cleanup the map in fcd_source, because the dtor is not called when exception occurs in the ctor (which, btw, leads to some memory leaks in alsa_source: namely d_hw_params and d_sw_params). It's a bad idea to call fetch_initial_sptr(this) before throwing in the ctor, because it seems the object get deleted.
