SoapyPlutoSDR included in Pothos? #40

Closed androbi-com closed 3 years ago

androbi-com commented 3 years ago

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but should SoapyPlutoSDR be included with the Pothos distribution? This page made me think so, but my device is not detected. And, no "pluto" related file in lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8. I installed the latest release PothosSDR-2021.02.28-vc16-x64. SDR Console works on the same machine. Any hints for getting this to work?

It's there but as component: https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/blob/master/SetupNSIS.cmake#L153 You need to enable "PlutoSDR SoapySDR binding (experimental)" (in the "experimental" group) while installing.

Thanx a lot! Maybe a short note about the experimental status could be added to (https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyPlutoSDR/wiki)?

Just for reference this is the reason:

I had to make it optional because it can mess with other libusb devices, and it was an ongoing support issue that kept coming up.
