[[PageOutline]] = OSMOCOM OsmoSDR Gnuradio Source = While primarily being developed for Primarily gr-osmosdr supports the OsmoSDR hardware, this block as well supports: * but it also offers a wrapper functionality for [http://tetra.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Funcube_Dongle FunCube Dongle] through libgnuradio-fcd * [http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/ OSMOCOM OsmoSDR] Devices through [http://cgit.osmocom.org/osmo-sdr/ libosmosdr] * [http://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/ Great Scott Gadgets HackRF] through [https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf libhackrf] * Dongle], [http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/build.html Ettus USRP] Devices through Ettus UHD library * RTL2832U based DVB-T dongles through UHD] and [http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr librtlsdr] * RTL-TCP spectrum server (see librtlsdr project) * MSi2500 based DVB-T dongles through [http://cgit.osmocom.org/libmirisdr/ libmirisdr] * gnuradio .cfile input through libgnuradio-core rtl-sdr] radios. By using the OsmoSDR block gr-osmosdr source you can take advantage of a common software api in your application(s) independent of the underlying radio hardware. == Build process == '''The gnuradio source requires a recent gnuradio (>= v3.6.4.1) to be installed.''' Before building the source you have to make sure that all the dependencies (see list of supported devices above) you are intend to work with are properly installed. The build system of gr-osmosdr will recognize them and enable specific source/sink components thereafter. Please note: prior pulling a new version from git and compiling it, please do a "make uninstall" first to properly remove the previous version. Building with cmake: {{{ git clone git://git.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr cd gr-osmosdr/ mkdir build cd build/ cmake ../ make sudo make install sudo ldconfig }}} NOTE: The OSMOCOM source block will appear under 'Sources' category in GRC menu. To build the API documentation: {{{ cd build/ cmake ../ -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=1 make -C docs }}} == Automated installation == Marcus D. Leech has kindly integrated the forementioned build steps into his gnuradio installation script at [http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio]. This is the most user-friendly option so far. == Device specification == You can specify the source or sink device using a comma separated string of argument=value pairs. The always-up-to-date block documentation is available [http://cgit.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr/tree/grc/gen_osmosdr_blocks.py#n100 right here]. === IQ File Source === ||file=<path-to-file-name>|||| ||freq=<frequency>|| in Hz|| ||rate=<sampling-rate>|| in samples/s|| ||repeat=true|false|| Default is false|| ||throttle=true|false||Throttle flow of samples, default is false|| === FCD Source === ||Argument||Notes|| ||fcd=<device-index>|| || === OsmoSDR Source === ||osmosdr=<device-index>|| || ||mcr=<rate>||Master clock rate.
