[Discuss-gnuradio] Getting Started Help (MATLAB like vector indexing) [GNU Radio Companion]

2018-08-27 Thread Ali Dormiani
Hello SDR community, I need some guidance into how vector manipulation works in GNU radio companion. Suppose I have the following MATLAB/Octave code: Nf = 128; Nt = 2^10; F = zeros(Nt/2+1,1); idxs= (1:round(Nt/Nf)/2:Nt/2)+1 phi = 2*pi*rand(Nf,1);

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Uninstall GNU + dependencies

2018-09-30 Thread Ali Dormiani
Did you install GNU radio by compiling source code or with a package manager (apt)? If you installed with a package manager then "sudo apt-get remove " should remove it. If you installed by compiling source you need to go back to "/path/to/source/gnuradio/build" and type "sudo make uninstall"

I am running a server with Mint 19 and had none of these problems. I followed this Ettus page (word for word) to build GNUradio and UHD from source. (without pybombs?) >From what I understand, Mint 19 = Ubuntu 18.04 + Windows-like User interface. On Mon, Oct 29, 2018 at 10:31 AM Marcus D.

Yes Ron is right. I have compiled GNUradio 3.7.13.4 many times on various Debian (Mint, Ubuntu) distros and never got such an error. Armchair opinion: the error is some kind of code problem which makes no sense because these developers are very good and check their work aggressively before

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] two versions of uhd installed?

2019-01-10 Thread Ali Dormiani
The repos are outdated. I ran into the same problem when first getting started too. You need to compile both UHD and GNUradio from source to get the versions you want. Ettus has a great (very thorough) guide on how to do this.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Question on processor micro-architecture and GNU Radio

2019-05-16 Thread Ali Dormiani
Hello all, I was wondering how the compiler option "-march=native" effects large FOOS projects like GNU Radio. There seems to be conflicting opinions online, ranging from "it's does nothing" to "it can break code". Would GNU Radio (and VOLK by extension) benefit from this compiler option for

Our lab is using USRP N310's with an external frequency synth ($500), a TI dev board splitting chip ($200?) and an external 10 MHz selenium clock ($2k). The set up is very very good but extremely expensive as well. After paying for RF cables and a host server, we are roughly getting 1 channel per

Hello everyone, I have a situation where I want to save data to a binary file every 15 minutes or so. We want to keep the same flow-graph running indefinitely to prevent daughter-boards from being re-initialized. Thus, the obvious solution of writing a script that runs and stops the flow graph
