Attempting an SDRPlay LAN server with Raspberry PI

[corq]

I'm using https://github.com/TonyHoyle/sdrplay to attempt using the Raspberry Pi 3 as a remote server, so that I might place my SDRplay away from all my computers and RFI and still enjoy it. Has anyone done this yet? I feel like I'm close but slightly daft as to what I should do next.

So far the install Soapy, SoapyRemote, and the github app; all *appears to go well* remotely and the server application (emulating rtlsdr) appears to open a connection, however when attempting to connect via my Ubuntu CubicSDR instance it doesn't connect or stream anyting, yet the RasPi sees the attempts (x.x.x.33 is my CubicSDR client machine):

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/opt/SoapyRemote# SoapySDRServer --bind="192.168.1.25:1234"
######################################################
## Soapy Server -- Use any Soapy SDR remotely

SoapyServerListener::accept(192.168.1.33:48936)
SoapyServerListener::close()
SoapyServerListener::close()

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I think you have 2 things confused here...

Tony Hoyle published an equivalent to the rtl_tcp server. I'm not sure how well it works, if there are issues, we could look at that.

The SoapyRemote software allows SoapySDR aware applications (such as CubicSDR) to communicate with the RSP over a network.

I think both of these will do what you want (again, I haven't tested them) but I'm not sure what SDR application you are using.

Hope that helps,

Best regards,

Ah! I likely am, only because I had used something similar with actual RTLSDR dongles previously.

I'll read up more on how the Soapy aspect works. Thanks for setting me straight!

Managed to get the SoapyRemote server working tonight, audio tad choppy but dialing down to lowest settings improved this, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
