SDRplay Community Forum

As far as build tools go, cmake is pretty universal. autoconf if that proves to be an issue.. I looked into installing docker on the raspberry pi and it looks like a pretty involved manual process - far harder than simply giving people simple build instructions, let alone a .deb. My general rule is ...

Latest version plays a lot nicer with the CPU when idle - it seems as soon as you call init the driver starts quite a busy background thread so I now defer that until a client connects. Lots of mucking around with sample rate - there's a minimum sample rate you can request for a given bandwidth, so ...

It may not be possible to use the device on fedora then.. It'd be much easier if we had the source as you could recompile against the libusb on there rather than hoping you get one compatible with both fedora and the one compiled into the driver... You could see if SDRPlay will produce a compiled on...

I've been unable to get the mir_sdr_setRf command to work, it just prints out a cryptic error and does nothing. mir_sdr_SetRf: detected INT out of range - returning without programming tuner Even trying to set it to the same frequency it's already at generates the error, so it's something internal t...

Ahh I see you used the same udev rule I did.. no idea then..

(Editing on this forum is wierd.. I edited my last post and it vanished..)

The udev instructions supplied didn't work for me either.. Try

SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",ATTRS{idVendor}=="1df7",ATTRS{idProduct}=="2500",MODE:="0666"

You need at least libusb 1.0.18 to use the SDRPlay.. 0.1.5 sounds ancient - are you sure fedora has nothing newer?

I changed the cmake file to check a couple of different names for the library, which might help with fedora.

I'd be interested to know if anyone got it going.. gqrx just hangs when I try to run it & has to be force terminated.

I've knocked together and rtl_tcp server so I can listen to my raspberry pi remotely. It's pretty simple, but amazingly buggy for all its simplicity :p I know it compiles under the RPi and under OSX (although I've not run it under OSX so it might crash and burn). https://github.com/TonyHoyle/sdrplay...
