RTL-SDR and RTL-TCP drivers

Hello, it's my first mail on this list, so please forgive me if I do something wrong. I'm about to post a couple of patches for RTL drivers: 1. RTL-SDR: convert _lut to float[] to reduce size by a factor of 256. The _lut is being indexed by I + Q (16 bits = 65536 entries), however both samples can be processed independently, resulting in 8-bit LUT. Saves a bit of RAM and CPU cache. lib/rtl/rtl_source_c.cc | 19 ++++++------------- lib/rtl/rtl_source_c.h | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) 2. RTL-TCP: Convert to single class model The existing RTL TCP driver is quite different from its brother RTL_SDR. It's much more complicated, uses gr::blocks::deinterleave and gr::blocks::float_to_complex, and generally doesn't work correctly (e.g. https://github.com/csete/gqrx/issues/99 Spectrum is mirrored when filter or demodulator changes (rtl_tcp) #99) I've converted the RTL TCP driver to the model used by RTL_SDR, simplifying it in the process, and fixing the GQRX issue. lib/rtl_tcp/CMakeLists.txt | 1 - lib/rtl_tcp/rtl_tcp_source_c.cc | 352 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- lib/rtl_tcp/rtl_tcp_source_c.h | 32 +++- lib/rtl_tcp/rtl_tcp_source_f.cc | 327 ------------------------------------- lib/rtl_tcp/rtl_tcp_source_f.h | 125 -------------- 5 files changed, 309 insertions(+), 528 deletions(-) I'm also thinking about merging the code common to RTL-SDR and RTL-TCP, but this it's done yet.
