Very few people use it on linux without problems. If you have a USB 1
port it will probably work, otherwise you will likely get the
insufficient bandwidth bug.

There are however no problems with the original Funcube Dongle Pro

[Discuss-gnuradio] New Gnuradio / SDR live DVD for i386 available for testing

2014-02-12 Thread M Dammer
I have created a new Gnuradio / SDR live DVD for i386 architecture. The
disk called SDRLive! is available via bittorrent.
Kristoff Bonne is so kind to seed the image at the moment, because I am
only having a slow rural broadband connection and no server space. I
would like to ask everyone who downloads the image to keep their
bittorrent client running and join the seeders.
You can download the torrent from here:
http://mdammer.net/sdrlive/sdrlive32bit_20140209.torrent
I could only test the disk with RTL-SDR, because I have no other SDR
hardware available.
Please let me know what you think. Any feedback is welcomed.

Mark

Here is a description of the disk - you get the same on the welcome page
when starting the disk:

*About this disk*
With this live DVD you can run Gnuradio, Gnuradio based applications and
other helpful programs related to software defined radio and digital
signal processing without the need to install anything on your computer.
SDRLive is meant as a starting point for people who want to try out SDR
and for educational purposes.
The disk is based on XUbuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit and should run on almost
any x86 based system.
The default username is xubuntu with the password xubuntu (both
without quotes).
There is a second useraccount packager with password packager that
was used to create the live DVD.

*Main features*
- lightweight XFCE desktop environment
- support for USRP, RTL-SDR, FuncubeDongle(pro), OsmoSDR, HackRF and
other SDR hardware. Not all have been tested.
- most of the applications can use the sound system as signal input /
output. This is good for playing around with signal processing :-)
- Pulseaudio can be disabled or run with 44.1 / 48 / 96 Khz samplerate
via buttons in the Application Menu.
- Jack Audio Connection Kit can be configured / started via QjackCtl.
- Gnuradio and related applications are built with PyBombs. Additional
packages can be easily installed via PyBombs.
- Certain server applications (SSH, CUPS printserver, AVAHI mdns) are
installed, but not started at boottime.
  These services can be easily started or stopped from the command line.
Example for CUPS:
  sudo service cups start
- A TightVNC server for remote desktop access can be started by entering
tightvncserver (without quotes) in the terminal.
  You will be asked to set a password at startup.

*Main Contents of the DVD*
SDR applications
- gnuradio 3.7 PyBombs build with all dependencies installed
- gqrx SDR receiver
- gr-air-modes Mode S ADS-B receiver
- OsmoSDR
- RTL-SDR
- HackRF
- RTLSDR-Scanner Frequency scanner application for RTL-SDR dongles
- Linrad Versatile and lightweight X11 and console SDR application
- Quisk Python based SDR application

Audio DSP applications
- Audacity
- Sonic Visualiser
- Sox

Hamradio applications
- Gpredict Satellite tracking program
- Fldigi Digimode program

Maths and Plotting
- GNU Octave
- KST Plot
- Gnuplot

The funcube pro+ works flawless on my usb 2.0 port. It seems that the 
bandwidth problem arises from the usb controller hardware.


I use an ASROCK motherboard with SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 controller in use 
with the ohci /ehci kernel drivers. This controller works very well for me.


The Inc. EJ168 USB 3.0 Host Controller instead does not work. It claims

Well it is really more of a USB host controller driver problem...
however, bandwidth is always sufficient for the pro +, the problem is
that the driver thinks your device needs more bandwidth than is
available.
However, read the threads on the issues on github; they provide
workarounds. Find out if you can live with these.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] funcube pro +

2014-02-12 Thread Volker Schroer

If you run linux on your laptop try

lspci -k

and look for USB. Then you can find the controller type.

USB 3 supports higher speed than USB 2 and should offer more bandwidth. 
But on my desktop system the dongle only runs on the USB 2 port not on 
the USB 3 port. The same happens with the funcube pro that requires 
lower bandwidth than the pro +. On my notebook there exists only an USB3 
controller Intel 8 Series/C2200 and it works flawless.

Actually, it's an USB1.1 full speed device (11Mbit/s), and that's
totally sufficient for 192ksam/s at 16bit (which I guess is the spec).
It does not benefit from USB2 or USB3 hardware.

As the funcube dongle pro+ is not a usb3 device, it does not get
additional bandwidth by being plugged into an usb3 port. I don't think
it even has the additional pins required to be an usb3 device.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Spectrum sensing with RLT-SDR on Android WITHOUT Gnu Radio

2014-02-12 Thread Przemysław Pawełczak
Hello,

This is my first post to this mailing list and my apologies if I ask a
lame/irrelevant question. Unfortunately, me and my hacking friend could not
find the answer to the issue we are trying to solve (Google, etc.) so here
is my post.

We want to implement the most fundamentally simple spectrum sensing
algorithm (energy detector for example) directly on Android device, where
our raw I/Q samples are gathered through RTL-SDR dongle (
http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr).

Yes, we are aware of http://sdr.martinmarinov.info - but this is not what
we want. What we want is a set of functions (FFT, etc.) that will do the
signal processing/signal detection directly on Android. Thus - we don't
want (wish we could) any Gnu Radio wrappers. Ideally - we look for
Java-based implementation of the thing described above.

Thus - is there anything out there that we can use or we need to write all
from scratch?

Best regards,
Przemek

Hi Przemek,
well, since this is the open source world, you shouldn't need to write
everything from scratch.
You can of course start off with Martin Marinov's source code,
https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-
which will give you an tcp server serving samples (the code says it's
a port of rtl_tcp from the rtl-sdr package); from there on it's java
all the way down ;)
However, I'd expect the average smartphone not to be the device you'd
want to do FFT on, in Java, which doesn't even offer you access to
your own memory, but then again I have no clue about android and if it
offers any accelerators for stuff like that. Googling FFT Java turned
up quite a bit, so I think you'd might be in luck ;) Generally, as I
understand the situation with rtl_tcp_andro, you'll need C code to
interact with the device (makes sense to me) and then you're free to
use basically every C lib (and most probably even C++) you want within
the restriction imposed by hardware and android, which, for signal
processing, shouldn't be harsh.

So: Happy hacking,
Marcus Müller

[Discuss-gnuradio] Issue with the installation of GNU Radio

2014-02-12 Thread Ruecan
Hi GR,

I have installed GR 3.7 everything went ok, except that I forgot to set the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH env. var.

with 
export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:gnuradio_install_dir/lib/pkgconfig:uhd_install_dir/lib/pkgconfig

I just modified gr-uhd/lib/usrp_source_impl.cc and
gr-uhd/lib/usrp_sink_impl.cc.
afterwhat I make then make install then got 

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig.  Maybe need
  administrative privileges.

My question is to apply my modifications on gr-uhd and make install, do I
need to rm CMakeCache and make clean and cmake, make, make install Or I
should do that the whole GNU Radio to take into account the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
env. var. ?

Regards,

[Discuss-gnuradio] [VOLK] Scheduling a Meeting

2014-02-12 Thread West, Nathan
Hi all,

It's been a while since we've had a VOLK Working Group call, and
there's been quite a bit of activity such that it's worth having
another call soon.

I'm thinking March 6, 7PM UTC.  (1PM US Central). If there's someone
that wants to make it but can't ping me and I'll consider juggling it
around.

I'll schedule it on G+ soon. This will be the call page:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Call20140306

[Discuss-gnuradio] Announcing GNU Radio Conference 2014 and Call for Presentations

2014-02-12 Thread John Malsbury
Greetings,


I am happy and excited to announce the GNU Radio Conference 2014 and its
associated Call for Presentations. Last year we received great feedback on
the conference, and we expect the conference to be even better this year.
Here are some highlights:

· *Date: *September 15-19, 2014

· *Location: *The District Architecture Center
http://aiadac.com/in Washington, DC (USA) - an interesting, modern
event facility. Unlike
previous conference values, we will be renting out an entire floor and will
have access to several divided spaces that will allow us to add new
components to the conference.

· *Attendance:*  We are expecting to have somewhere between 120 and
150 attendees this year - a significant increase over past years.

· *New Components: *Hacker/demo space, poster session, 'New
Developers Day' to attract new/beginner users, an open lounge for people to
socialize and mingle.

· *Daily Working Groups:* We received a ton of positive feedback on
the working groups we kicked off last year. To provide more opportunities
for users to make contributions and interact with other developers, we will
plan for working group sessions each day.

For more information, visit the GNU Radio Conference 2014
websitehttp://gnuradio.squarespace.com/gnu-radio-conference-2014/.
A preliminary agenda will be posted soon.


*Call for Presentations and Tutorials*


If you would like to showcase your latest work with GNU Radio or help
spread your software-defined radio knowledge, please submit an
abstracthttp://gnuradio.squarespace.com/grc2014-call-for-presentations/.
 The submission period will close on April 4, and we will announce the
selected presentations on April 14.  Michael Dickens and Tom Rondeau will
be leading the selection process.


Best Regards,
John Malsbury

[Discuss-gnuradio] Codec2 vocoder packing issue

2014-02-12 Thread Sebastien Van Cauwenberghe
Hi All,

I have been playing around with the Codec2 vocoder block. I have a working
flowgraph where I put a C2 encoder and a C2 decoder back to back.

I'm puzzled with the expected stream format. In the coder, the intent seems
to create a vector of 50 bits (or bytes where the LSB contains the bit
value) as output. If we look closer, the output is packed, so the 7 first
bytes contain actual data and the 43 others are 0.

Is there a rationale about the codec stream format (shall it be packed or
unpacked) ? Is is supposed to be uniform among all codecs ?

I've seen that the GSM coder uses a single byte output for the stream.
What is the advantage of using a single byte output compared to outputting
an array ?

Cheers,
Sébastien

I also forgot a very important Thank You to Tim O' Shea, who visited
conference venues in person and help us pick the one that was right for
this event.

Thanks, Tim!

I'll be traveling during this, and won't be able to make it. Will the notes
go up on the wiki page so I can catch up afterwards?

Yes, notes would go on the wiki and I can make an intentional effort
to put it on air so it gets recorded.

I'm pretty flexible with the time other than I'd like it to be soonish
without cramping up against other
events like the main dev call. If you're free another time that week I
don't mind moving it around a
few days. That is, unless we get in to a situation with multiple
people and it starts bouncing around;
but that seems unlikely with the smallish group we've been getting in
these calls.

It looks like you're not the only one that can't make it that day, so
here's a new
approach: http://whenisgood.net/42gqdee

There should be a drop down menu that appears to select your timezone and just
click and drag to highlight the times that you're available.

To the list: please only fill this out if you actually intend to come,
otherwise it's just noise
and it will make picking an optimal time more difficult :-)

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Spectrum sensing with RLT-SDR on Android WITHOUT Gnu Radio

 Hi Przemek,
 well, since this is the open source world, you shouldn't need to write
 everything from scratch.
 You can of course start off with Martin Marinov's source code,
 https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-
 which will give you an tcp server serving samples (the code says it's
 a port of rtl_tcp from the rtl-sdr package); from there on it's java
 all the way down ;)
 However, I'd expect the average smartphone not to be the device you'd
 want to do FFT on, in Java, which doesn't even offer you access to
 your own memory, but then again I have no clue about android and if it
 offers any accelerators for stuff like that. Googling FFT Java turned
 up quite a bit, so I think you'd might be in luck ;) Generally, as I
 understand the situation with rtl_tcp_andro, you'll need C code to
 interact with the device (makes sense to me) and then you're free to
 use basically every C lib (and most probably even C++) you want within
 the restriction imposed by hardware and android, which, for signal
 processing, shouldn't be harsh.

 So: Happy hacking,
 Marcus Müller

 Hello,

 This is my first post to this mailing list and my apologies if I
 ask a lame/irrelevant question. Unfortunately, me and my hacking
 friend could not find the answer to the issue we are trying to
 solve (Google, etc.) so here is my post.

 We want to implement the most fundamentally simple spectrum
 sensing algorithm (energy detector for example) directly on Android
 device, where our raw I/Q samples are gathered through RTL-SDR
 dongle ( http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr).

 Yes, we are aware of http://sdr.martinmarinov.info - but this is
 not what we want. What we want is a set of functions (FFT, etc.)
 that will do the signal processing/signal detection directly on
 Android. Thus - we don't want (wish we could) any Gnu Radio
 wrappers. Ideally - we look for Java-based implementation of the
 thing described above.

 Thus - is there anything out there that we can use or we need to
 write all from scratch?

 Best regards, Przemek
