[PlutoSDR] please add PlutoSDR support #288

Closed beta-tester closed 5 years ago

beta-tester commented 6 years ago

hi,

i have a PlutoSDR (...) and it would be very nice to have all PlutoSDR drivers available in Pentoo out of the box and PlutoSDR "plugins" for GNURadio, Gqrx, SoapySDR

blshkv commented 6 years ago

not sure exactly how can we help. The PlutoSDR drivers page says "On most modern distributions - these will be installed/compiled by default" and the listed (standard) drivers are enabled in our kernel.

As for the plugins, you need to contact each software individually and ask them to support your card.

We will be happy to include it to Pentoo after that.

The PlutoSDR drivers page says "On most modern distributions - these will be installed/compiled by default" and the listed (standard) drivers are enabled in our kernel.

yes, the kernel modules what are required to run the iio libraries/tools are in the most kernels. but you need the libiio, libad9361 libraries to get the PlutoSDR run and to get the PlutoSDR working in GNURadio you need the gr-iio plugin.

i am running Pentoo always from the LiveDVD (booted via PXE boot). that means every time i want to use my PlutoSDR under Pentoo's GNURadio i have to compile those stuff and that takes 25 minutes minimum on my computer.

that is the reason, why it would be nice to have it already included in Pentoo LiveDVD out of the box.

here the steps/script i run to get PlutoSDR work under Pentoo's GNURadio:

#!/bin/bash

sudo ldconfig;

all the stuff is from Analog Devices Inc. itself, so i think this is the official way how to do it. for debian/ubuntu distributions there are packages for libiio-utils available but not for Pentoo/Gentoo distribution as far as i could see.

and the gr-iio plugin for GNURadio there is no other way as to compile it.

i have tested the install script under "pentoo-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC6.3.iso" and there it works.

i have tried "pentoo-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC7_pre20180703.iso" as well, but there GNURadio is broken at all. so i couldn't test PlutoSDR under its GNURadio application there but iio_info and the other libiio stuff is working.

EDIT: i forgot... i think you can delete the folders ~/libiio/, ~/libad9361/ and ~/gr-iio/ folders after running the script to save space.

blshkv commented 6 years ago

ok, that is much more useful info. By right, you should never run compile commands manually under Gentoo. The best way to write ebuilds for each software. There is gr-iio ebuild in the gnuradio overlay (http://gpo.zugaina.org/net-wireless/gr-iio) and may be others. I will have a look at it.

Edit: A quick workaround (you will still need to compile it) is to add gnuradio overlay.

blshkv commented 6 years ago

btw, please open a separate bug report about "pentoo-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC7_pre20180703.iso" and gnuradio problem. It should be working fine.

i am not that familiar with Gentoo like distributions. thank you for the info.

EDIT: does it mean, i can simply do kind of sudo emerge net-libs/libiio net-libs/libad9361 net-wireless/gr-iio ?

blshkv commented 6 years ago

yes, you can emerge these if you add ebuilds into your tree. By default, it only includes portage (/usr/local/portage), but you can copy individual ebuilds into a local (/usr/local/portage) tree or add an overlay, layman -a gnuradio in this case

blshkv commented 5 years ago

Can you confirm that gr-iio from gnuradio overlay works? Ill push it to pentoo then

beta-tester commented 5 years ago

yes, i can confirm that gr-iio from "gnuradio" (net-libs/libiio-9999::gnuradio, net-libs/libad9361-9999::gnuradio, net-wireless/gr-iio-9999::gnuradio) is working with gnuradio 3.7.13.3 (and 3.7.13.4) on pentoo-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC7.2.iso (tested 2018-07-22)

i can use PlutoSDR in gnuradio to receive and transmit radio frequency at the same time.

i did the folowing steps:

sudo emerge --sync

# to add gnuradio "overlay"
sudo layman -a gnuradio

# to unmask masked packages
sudo emerge --autounmask --autounmask-write gr-iio
sudo dispatch-conf
# 2x [u] = use-new

# to finally install gr-iio
sudo emerge gr-iio

it would save me a lot of time if you push gr-iio to pentoo to work out of the box...

blshkv commented 5 years ago

Also, https://github.com/pentoo/pentoo-overlay/commit/6c15952e6a6a3c6561edf6eb9c40bef468cbcd07

Ok, it is not included by default yet, but it should be easier to install it now. I dont we need IIO blocks by default since it is a very specific area. Please ping if you think overwise.

beta-tester commented 5 years ago

hello, it's me again...

thank you for your work!

... but, i just tried out the pentoo-full-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC8_p20180828.iso and tried to install gr-iio, by simple do sudo emerge gr-iio. the install process looks like to succeed, but in gnuradio-companion the gr-iio plugin will not appear. the iio libraries itself will install correct, because i can run the iio_info -n 192.168.2.1 command successfuly. only the gnuradio plugin install part seems to not working correctly.

You can switch your profile to bleeding btw, it should have required keywords. My appologies for short messages, im writing it from my mobile device

if you confirm working version of this stuff I will have them moved into gentoo so everyone benefits. I want plutosdr support but no way to test.

my bad, missed a very obvious issue. Please open a new bug if any problems

@blshkv & @ZeroChaos- yes, thank you very much... you updated ebuild of gr-iio is working as expected now ! 👍 i tested it and it works with PLutoSDR hardware. i can see and work with Industrial IO plugin in gnuradio-companion with its blocks Pluto Source to receive and Pluto Sink to transmit.

@blshkv https://github.com/blshkv & @ZeroChaos- https://github.com/ZeroChaos- yes, thank you very much... you updated ebuild of gr-iio is working as expected now ! 👍 i tested it and it works with PLutoSDR hardware. i can see and work with Industrial IO plugin in gnuradio-companion with its blocks Pluto Source to receive and Pluto Sink to transmit.

Any version is fine i guess

beta-tester commented 5 years ago

So, which version of everything do I need to move over to Gentoo for this to work?

you mean ::gnuradio overlay sudo emerge net-libs/libiio::gnuradio net-libs/libad9361::gnuradio net-wireless/gr-iio::gnuradio

or ::pentoo sudo emerge net-libs/libiio::pentoo net-libs/libad9361::pentoo net-wireless/gr-iio::pentoo

both are working to me.

when i have to install it by hand, i prefered the pentoo one, because of less steps to me, to install. but when integrating it to ::gentoo i can't give suggestions - my knowledge is too weak in gentoo/pentoo - no knowledge if those ebuilds are different or equal.

blshkv commented 5 years ago

ZC please double check dependencies while pushing to gentoo, may be not accurate

beta-tester commented 5 years ago

hi, only one question... i tried pentoo-full-amd64-hardened-2018.0_RC8_p20180906.iso net-libs/libiio and net-libs/libad9361 are now installed out of the box (e.g. iio_info works out of the box). but in gnuradio there is no Industial IO/PlutoSDR plugin... to have the PlutoSDR plugin in gnuradio it is still necessary to do sudo emerge gr-iio... is that right?

(or was it maybe an issue of installation sequence / installing gr-iio before gnuradio-companion was installed for the iso)

blshkv commented 5 years ago

I suspect this is because your had to mess around with libraries and you might installed them manually without -1 flag. You should not install any dependency normally. They will be installed/uninstalled automatically when you install/uninstall the main package.

grep libs /var/lib/portage/world review this list and any other deps, and clean it up.

And yes, you still have to run emerge gr-iio since we do not install it by default.

EDIT: I re-read your message and no idea why libiio/libad9361 are installed. They shouldn't

the last two are required by the latest soapyplutosdr that's why there are installed by default

ok, thank you for your answer.

no idea why libiio/libad9361 are installed. They shouldn't

i don't know if it is really installed, but i know iio_info -n 192.168.2.1 is working out of the box now. so i assumed that libiio and libad9361 are installed by default now. and when i do emerge gr-iio, no other dependencies/packages are installed except of gr-iio itself. (in the past libiio and libad9361 were installed as dependency packages).

i don't want to make more trouble here... thank you that you made the installation of gr-iio as easy as possible to me. :+1:

ah, that's why! that means i am also able to use soapyplutosdr... for example in gqrx... cool... that i have to try

cool, i can use gqrx with "Soapy" to use my PlutoSDR now... it works out-of-the-box... very nice :+1:

Hi Very interesting discussion you've been having. Could you please put a copy of your succesful firmware images on line? Thansk - Glen

blshkv commented 5 years ago

You can download it from our binary host directly or run emerge and it will compile it for you
