airborne Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hey All,I am now trying for weeks to setup Gnuradio Companion (3.7.5) with my RTL 2832U...I installed the RTL-SDR and the gr-osmosdr driver as described on Osmocom's Website."rtl_test -t" works as well as "osmocom_fft -a rtl=0 -v -f 100e6 -s 2.4e6 -g 15" so I think those drivers are properly installed.Nevertheless no source blocks appear in Gnuradio Companion.So does anyone know what I did wrong or what I could try? Is there a fault in the cmake process of gr-osmosdr (cmake output: http://textuploader.com/651n )? Do I need those disabled components: Osmocom IQ Imbalance Correction, sysmocom OsmoSDR? By the way I am using Opensuse 13.2.It would be great if someone could help me.Thanks in advance!Marius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuxmux Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 lsmod for dvb_usb_rtl28xxu. If it's loaded, blacklist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks for your efforts but the following modules are already blacklisted: dvb_usb_rtl28xxu rtl2832 rtl2830 Has anyone another idea where the problem might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Problem solved: Gnuradio's blocks are located in /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/ The gr-osmocom sink/source driver installs blocks to /usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/ As solution I copied rtlsdr_source.xml, osmosdr_source.xml and osmosdr_sink.xml from /usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/ to /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/. Now the RTLSDR Source can be chosen in Gnuradio Companion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Aw, now that just _sucks_. You'd think they'd discover where the grc blocks folder is on install and install it there or use some consistency. Nice way to waste a few hours, banging your head against the wall. Good find!
