Bob,
Thanks for the update.
The Flexradios and PowerSDR just keep getting better and better. Thanks to
all the people who are making this so.

And WITHOUT a thud:
Eric Wachsmann, KE5DTO, has been succesffully moving the C# hardware
control
out of PowerSDR for the Flex 5000 and has successfully done the first
steps
of interop and is successfully sending and acting on commands using Erlang
to manage the remotable service and a gen_tcp behavior and using sockets.
We are doing a major rework on the firmware that will indeed allow us
EXTREMELY fast control of the Flex 5000 if it meets all of the promise the
manufacturer claims it will. If so, midi will be replaced with a file
descriptor type interface and this will run across all platforms. Midi
will
still be useful for other reasons and when jack2 comes to a release, midi
will be easily transported via jack and netjack on linux, OS/X and
Windows.
Bob Tracy is a man for whom my admiration grows daily. He has a working
browser based baby step GUI console done in GWT sending and receiving
commands and a yaws server deliver said services.
For the Flexers and DttSP readers "The new architecture is born" and
Brickle
and Tracy will forever be owed our thanks.

Subject: [dttsp-linux] Accumulating VR code in CGRAN
For those of you singing along at home, the key functional components of
the
VR are now in svn at https://www.cran.org. They include
* the kernel executive (vrk)
* the storage manager for transient and semi-persistent data (vrmeme)
* the sdr-core control proxy (ducpin), to work with the new datagram
command/update regime
* the GNU Radio and/or SDR-1000 control proxy (grape) and remote executive
(exec_server)
* miscellaneous conveniences such as fast back-channel file transfer.
In accord with the Open Source imperative to publish early and often,
these
components are out there for examination and abuse now, without any
guarantee beyond the claim that they all work correctly, and correctly
together. They won't even seem very interesting until the example
configurations are put online over the next few days.
All this stuff works fine when distributed across all the machines on my
own
LAN. Given proper Erlang and Python installations, it should also all work
across any platforms (Linux, OS X, BSD, Win). Usual caveats apply
concerning
DNS quirks, firewalls, etc.
With these pieces in place, the final addition is the Erlang application
configuration that starts, supervises, and stops the whole system with a
single button push. That's the last step. Until then, to quote Legolas,
"It's knife-work down here."

PS If you are interested in playing with the code, you'll probably want to
install the latest Erlang/OTP (R12B-5) and yaws releases.
PPS If you're concerned with talking to vrk in the most direct way
possible,
consider using curl at first rather than plugging away with a browser or
other web framework.
