"rtl-sdr, librtlsdr" Not supported for the RTL-SDR.COM v3 dongle #11827

Open robman501a opened 4 years ago

Environment: AR7161, WNDR3700v1, OpenWrt 19.07.2 r10947-65030d81f3

Description:

I really really really need the bias-t feature from RTL-SDR.com (https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog). Since these drivers don't have it and have no support for the V3 dongle (direct sampling mod, bias-t), the rtl-sdr packages from OpenWRT are useless to me. How can I build his package to add them to my router instead of using the default ones from /OpenWRT/packages/utils/rtl-sdr?

This package is for a standard Realtek RTL2832 tuner based USB, it does not support the rtl-sdr.com features because those are only present in a small subset of all Realtek RTL2832 tuners in the world and would be useless for most users.

What you want could be compiled from - https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog/archive/1.01.tar.gz

Modify this Makefile to use those sources with the appropriate configure options and build for your target. Read https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/single.package or https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/using_the_sdk

@robman501a Seems rtl_biast was added https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr/commits/master and it's a matter of the Maintainer moving to it instead of 0.6.0 Also pretty easy to edit the Makefile and compile it yourself. @acinonyx Using master instead of the two year old 0.6.0 release would close this and https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/11323 and https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/9630
