Hi all,
Thank you for the feedback! I've managed to figure this out on my own.
Essentially, I followed this guide that another user put together a couple
months ago:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2020-09/pdfNp27msymbN.pdf
NOTE: This guide uses GRC 3.8. Currently, gr-osmosdr requires GRC 3.9 and
above.
In short, I followed this process for installation to get a working GRC 3.9
with osmocom and HackRF One compatibility:
- Completely erase disk and install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS via bootable USB
- install GR 3.9 dependencies
- See:
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/UbuntuInstall#Install_the_Pre-Requisites
- PPA install gnuradio 3.9
- install librtlsdr from source
- https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr
- install gr-osmosdr from source
- cmake with /usr prefix: ```cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../```
- install libhackrf from source (for interfacing with HackRF One)
- git clone https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf.git
- instructions:
https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/wiki/Operating-System-Tips
The main differences with this guide and my original from-source
installation are its installation of librtlsdr and its use of the /usr
prefix with gr-osmosdr. To be honest, I'm not sure which one was the key
point here. At the moment, the osmocom sink and source show up
successfully, but I'm still running into problems with blocks (though I
don't know whether the source of these problems is the /usr prefix or GRC
3.9 or both).
Thanks,
Jessica
