Hi,
I am new to sdr and reading the site, I got an Elonics DVB-T dongle for it. Does anyone know the initialization sequence that need to be send for it to work correctly, or a reference for them?
I work with Linux and a lot of the rtl drivers are for windows. Therefore I am developing my own drivers and would like to skip libsdr for now.
Thanks, Nikos

"a lot of the rtl drivers are for windows"? rtl-sdr was originally developed on and for Linux, but since it is based on libusb it is now used on Windows and OS X as well.
Build instructions for Linux can be found here: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr#Buildingthesoftware
rtl-sdr will is part of Debian sid and will also be found in Ubuntu 14.04:

Thx,
I searched for "Elonics +DVB-T +driver + download" and ended up with HDSDR, gr-baz and librtl2832++. All except gr-baz are windows based. rtl-sdr built in a jiffy in Ubuntu 12.04. Except 1 thing:
"sudo cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
There is no such target in the makefile. Site needs to be updated.
BR, Nikos

Are you sure you really followed the instructions in the wiki?

Yeap. Repeated it 3x. Was referring to:
sudo make install-udev-rules
not to make install ;-)
As you can see in the wiki, the caption of that section is "Building with autotools". As you used cmake, this section is not relevant, since the udev rules are installed by running sudo make install when INSTALL_UDEV_RULES has been set to ON.

You are right.
And thanks again for the rtl-sdr tip ;-)
