Ben,
I am sorry if I came across as cynical and sarcastic. I didn't mean
to. I really wanted to know if anyone could make GNURadio work on a RPi.
I'll be the first to say I know nothing about Linux and Python. However,
I created the flow graph I need on my windows computer months ago and
have been trying ever since to get it to work reliably on my RPi. I
experienced repeated segment faults, malloc faults, failure to have the
osmocom block I needed, etc.
Since I asked the question here I have gotten help, very good help and
still no luck. In addition I did so many installs and removes my SD
card is to the point it just needs to be reformatted and rebuilt.
But I did discover during the process that the culprit is the
osmocom/rtlsdr block. No matter how I install it, my flow graph just
won't run when it is enabled.
Luckily during this process, last night, I discovered that I don't need
the osmocom/rtlsdr block. I can get the stream from my rtlsdr using the
command:
rtl-sdr -f xxxx -s xxxx /tmp/aFIFO
where a FIFO is created with mkfifo aFIFO. Then read the FIFO with a
file source block.
It might not have as good a SNR as on windows but I think I can adjust
some filtering and move some gains around and it will be acceptable.
So, I'm off and running to complete my project and I'm not looking back
(I hope).
Maybe if I need to do this for another project I'll start over. It looks
like Glen and Marcus are using Ubuntu where as I have been using
Raspbian. I'll go that route next time.
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete -
Yes, I personally know of multiple. Albin's work of implementing volk
kernels for TujaSDR <https://tujasdr.com/>, shared here on the list
with some regularity, is an excellent example.

Problem Solved! .....NOT!
Tell me, is anyone running GNURadio on a Raspberry Pi (3-B) using an
RTL-SDR dongle?
I thought I cured my problems then the next day, more problems.
This is what I thought fixed my problem (but later, didn't).
This kind of thing can be difficult to debug, but please refrain from
cynical sarcasm here - especially if you want help and support.
If you're willing to share your progress and current issues, I'm sure
there are people willing to provide some thoughts.
Cheers,
Ben
