Compiling GNU Radio from source on an embedded board takes much longer than using a cross compiler. Also, during the compile on a low memory embedded board, parts of the com[ile takes lots of memory and you may need to nurse the build during this part of the build. My i7 builds gnuradio loads faster than even a quad A15. Both approaches work, I just do not like to wait :) Philip > > Vanush > > On Fri, Dec 27, 2013 at 2:31 AM, Philip Balister <phi...@balister.org> wrote: >> On 12/26/2013 02:28 AM, Jean-Michel FRIEDT wrote: >>> I have used the opportunity of the more relaxed days of this Christmas >>> period to try and run the tutorial at >>> http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Zynq >> >> We need to update the OE section of this page to use: >> >> https://github.com/balister/oe-gnuradio-manifest >> >> for managing the OE layers.
