+ | NOTE: Current versions of gqrx-sdr and gr-osmosdr in Ubuntu 14.04 are known to cause issues with the rad1o. (hackrf_info not detecting the badge, error loading libosmosdr etc.) | ||
+ | The [[https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/Installing-gnuradio-on-Ubuntu-14.04-with-the-packaging-manager|original hackrf wiki]] has a PPA with updated versions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Install software: | ||
apt-get install hackrf gqrx-sdr gnuradio gr-osmosdr | apt-get install hackrf gqrx-sdr gnuradio gr-osmosdr | ||
- | NOTE: For Debian/Ubuntu Systems you qgrx will not work correctly, if you have the hackrf kernel module loaded. Additionally you will need some UDEV rules. | + | 2. Make sure the hackrf kernel module is not loaded. |
+ | If you don't do this, you'll get a -1000 error from hackrf_info | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ sudo rmmod hackrf | ||
+ | $ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | ||
+ | # module blacklisted for radi1o / gqrx usage | ||
+ | blacklist hackrf | ||
+ | </code> | ||
- | 1. Create some udev rules, replace YOURUSER with your username (whoami) | + | 3. Additionally you will need some UDEV rules. |
+ | Replace YOURUSER with your username (whoami) | ||
<code> | <code> | ||
$ sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/51-rad1o.rules | $ sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/51-rad1o.rules | ||
Line 23: | Line 58: | ||
</code> | </code> | ||
- | 2. blacklist the hackrf module. If you don't do this / still have the module loaded you'll get a -1000 error from hackrf_info | + | 4. make sure you boot the hackrf-old on the rad1o, as gqrx somehow only recognized the device as a hackrf then (at least with gqrx from debian testing) |
+ | |||
+ | 5. check with hackrf_info that everything works | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. launch gqrx, it should autoconfigure itself | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Archlinux | ||
+ | |||
+ | pacman -S gqrx python2 python2-lxml python2-cheetah # pulls hackrf and gnuradio automatically in | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Gentoo Linux | ||
+ | Versions known to work: | ||
+ | |||
+ | net-wireless/gnuradio-3.7.7.x | ||
+ | net-wireless/gr-osmosdr-1.4_x | ||
+ | net-wireless/gqrx-2.3.x | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure the 'hackrf' useflag is enabled where available. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have the 'hackrf' kernel module compiled, prevent it from loading by adding | ||
+ | |||
+ | blacklist hackrf | ||
+ | |||
+ | to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. (update your modprobe config with 'depmod -a') | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Fedora | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Install software: | ||
<code> | <code> | ||
- | $ sudo rmmod hackrf | + | $ sudo dnf install gnuradio gnuradio-doc gnuradio-examples gqrx hackrf hackrf-doc gr-osmosdr |
- | $ sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | + | |
- | # module blacklisted for radi1o / gqrx usage | + | |
- | blacklist hackrf | + | |
</code> | </code> | ||
- | 3. make sure you boot the hackrf-old, as gqrx somehow only recognized the device as a hackrf then (at least with gqrx from debian testing) | + | 2. boot into **HKRF-OLD** on the rad1o (for now, hopefully soon in HACKRF mode) |
- | 4. check with hackrf_info that everything works | + | 3. check if it's detected with hackrf_info |
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ hackrf_info | ||
+ | Found HackRF board. | ||
+ | Board ID Number: 3 (Unknown Board ID) | ||
+ | Firmware Version: [...] | ||
+ | Part ID Number: [...] | ||
+ | Serial Number: [...] | ||
+ | </code> | ||
- | 5. launch gqrx, it should autoconfigure itself | + | 4. run gqrx, accepting the default of //hackrf unknown device//. [[http://gqrx.dk/supported-hardware#hackrf|Gqrx SDR Supported hardware]] |
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ gqrx | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | 5. if you get results in gqrx, move on to osmocom_fft, keeping in mind that the built-in [[:antennas|antenna]] is tuned to 2.5GHz | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ osmocom_fft | ||
+ | </code> | ||
- | ===== archlinux | + | 6. now you are sure the rad1o speaks to your Fedora box and you can move on to GNU Radio |
+ | <code> | ||
+ | $ gnuradio-companion | ||
+ | </code> | ||
- | pacman -S gqrx python2 python2-lxml python2-cheetah # pulls hackrf and gnuradio automatically in | + | To use the rad1o, search for blocks with //osmocom// in the name in GNU Radio. |
