[PlutoSDR] not recognized

[beta-tester]

i have a Analog Devices ADALM-Pluto SDR (rev. B), the range extension hack is applied (60MHz-6000MHz) and all its IIO driver are installed (Windows 10). but welle.io v1.0 does not see the PlutoSDR device at all. the example application IIO - oscilloscope from AD is working fine... ADALM-PLUTO for End Users

is there a way to get PlutoSDR work with welle.io application?

PS.: wello.io v1.0 is working fine with RTL2838 device on the same PC. PPS.: SDR-sharp with PlutoSDR-addon is working as well (with limitations).

At the moment there is no direct way.

I you compile welle.io from the sources for Linux you might can use the SoapySDR input with the PlutoSDR SoapySDR Plugin.

is it not possible to pick some code from here (PlutoSDR input plugin)

[mpbraendli]

It's always possible to pick code somewhere, but somebody that owns a PlutoSDR should do it and maintain it. I would prefer seeing the same effort invested in getting the PlutoSDR to work with SoapySDR, because more projects can make use of it.

oops... i didn't realized that SoapySDR is "A fresh and clean vendor neutral and platform independent SDR support library"

but is PlutoSDR SoapySDR also available for Windows OS? (can it be compiled for Windows?)

[mpbraendli]

It's better to ask them (whoever "they" are), I don't know.

[AlbrechtL]

@Waitsnake compiled SoapySDR for Windows. See here https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io/pull/253. But I don't know the current state.

[mpbraendli]

It's not SoapySDR itself that I'm worrying about, it's the PlutoSDR device driver for SoapySDR.

[beta-tester]

i have an additional stupid question. i just installed PothosSDR with SaopySDR for windows (see SoapySdR please include drivers for plutosdr --windows 10 ) my hope was, that i can manage it to get welle.io to work with this... but i failed... :( any idea what i have to do without compiling anything?

[AlbrechtL]

At the moment there is no way to do it without compiling.
