Re: Gnuradio 3.8 on a Raspberry pi 4 B?

[Cinaed Simson]

Hi Glen - try typing

   apt list --installed | grep xorg

to check if it's installed.

It could be a /boot/boot.ini thing.

I had odroid running debian 8  where I had to install X11 by hand.

I enclosed a tar file with a script for install X11 which should work well enough to get you going.

Hi

Thanks for your help.

I’ve written the image to an SDCARD and the PI4 boots to
the command line prompt.  The password is accepted and
I’ve looked around.

Gnuradio seems to be installed, but not the xwindow system.

How do you use gnuradio-companion etc?

I could not find “xstartup” or some such program.

Thanks

Glen

I have uploaded http://jmfriedt.org/sdcard.img
my Buildroot image generated for RPi4 that I have been
using daily for the last 2 months, so pretty sure it is
working. Actually it is 1.1 GB because of lapack needed
for gnss-sdr but GNU Radio 3.8/Python3 will only require
about 500 MB.
Gwenhael Goavec-Merou ported all GNU Radio related software/libraries
to Buildroot: the missing parts for gnss-sdr are found at
https://github.com/oscimp/PlutoSDR in the for_next branch.

root passwd=root, no user account, USRP FPGA images to be added
in usr/share/uhd/images manually if libuhd is needed. Tested with
RTL-SDR DVB-T dongle, PlutoSDR (gr-iio) and B210.

Hello

I’ve been a great proponent of gnuradio, but I’m finding in
increasing difficult to do anything new, as installation of 3.8 is
essentially impossible for most people.

I’ve written and built my own python modules and C++ blocks.

However, despite months of trying now, I can not get 3.8 to install
on a raspberry pi.

Has anyone achieved 3.8 on a raspberry pi?

If so can you please save the entire OS, gzip compressed and put it
online somewhere. It will probably be about 3 GB compressed.

Thanks

Glen

Note that there are many many (too many) different guides on line

1) apt-get

2) pybombs

3) git clone then build

each one fails in a different way.
