SoapySDR support #42

Open parzivail opened 5 years ago

parzivail commented 5 years ago

I'm using SoapySDR with a bladeRF xA4 on Ubuntu and it would be wonderful to be able to specify the source as a SoapySDR device in the goesrecv configuration file.

Right now I'm looking at ways to pipe the IQ data through nanomsg.

From the implementation perspective, SoapySDR should actually be a drop-in replacement for both librtlsdr-dev and the Airspy libraries while also supporting many other SDRs since it's all abstracted through the SoapySDR object.

Is this something you'd be interested in contributing?

parzivail commented 5 years ago

I'm not very familiar with programming for SDR devices but I could give it a shot.
