A word about "porting" any code between architectures... PowerSDR is built with primarily with standard Microsoft Windows development components, and some rather ancient DSP routines. This is exactly what the OpenHPSDR lead programmers found when using version 1.X as the basis for PSDR mRX. 2.X, while being a rather large evolutionary step, isn't that different in that respect.
SmartSDR is, in part, DSP split across an FPGA and a DSP processor running in a Linux environment. This means that the chances of any code being shared between the two platforms is minimal. Algorithms? Maybe... Code? Not so much... 73, Mike - N8MSA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan" <wa4...@gmail.com> To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2015 6:56:14 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR and Falling prices At Dayton last year, Gerald committed to fixing the last real deficiency which affects me and many others who bought the VU-5K for satellite and VHF/UHF digital use in general: the lack of a "9600 baud" FM mode. Flex is developing a "Digital FM" mode for SmartSDR, so they understand the need and how to code it. We had a contact at Flex, people to test the code, etc. After some initial contact, communications simply stopped. My understanding is that the need to get SmartSDR working was reaching the critical level and vacuumed up the resources. I assume that Gerald will follow through with at least one more update to PowerSDR. There are a lot of differences in the two software architectures, but hopefully it will be fairly easy to port the code. 73s, Alan WA4SCA _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
