Ettus Research has released the LiveUSB SDR Environment - a 16 GB bootable USB 3.0 drive, which comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 11.10, UHD (USRP Hardware Driver), GNU Radio, OpenBTS, and associated documentation. The SDR Environment enables users to get up and running with the USRP product family quickly and easily, and lets users familiarize themselves with the included software before installing it on their own. Additionally, the portability of the LiveUSB file system can be used to deploy standard configurations in classrooms, R&D labs, or other USRP installations.
Features: * Ubuntu 11.10, 64-bit * Pre-installed Software: USRP Hardware Driver (UHD), GNU Radio, OpenBTS * Documentation Included on Drive * 16 GB * USB 3.0 Read/Write Speeds - fast boot times and RF record/playback capability * USB 2.0 Fallback * Persistent File system - save files, configurations, and other customizations * Portability - take your projects with you and boot on any PC The LiveUSB includes the most recent release of UHD, GNU Radio, and OpenBTS. UHD is compatible with all USRP devices, and allows applications to be easily ported across different USRP models. The UHD installation includes documentation and examples. GNU Radio is an easy-to-use, open-source, DSP toolbox that comes with GNU Radio Companion, a graphical development tool. OpenBTS is an open-source GSM air-interface implementation, which can be used with the USRP product family to assemble a fully functional cellular base station. The LiveUSB Ubuntu OS is pre-configured to install UHD and GNU Radio from the Ettus Research 'apt' repositories. This allows users to update the software without manually downloading, building, and installing the source code. This drive is compatible with USB 2.0 ports, but the system will take longer to boot, load programs, and respond to user interaction. Now, developing with the USRP product family is as easy as plugging in the LiveUSB SDR Environment and booting up!
