  Description : A C++ library for working with SigMF metadata

Signal Metadata Format (SigMF)

Sharing sets of recorded signal data is an important part of science
and engineering. It enables multiple parties to collaborate, is often a
necessary part of reproducing scientific results (a requirement of
scientific rigor), and enables sharing data with those who do not have
direct access to the equipment required to capture it.

Unfortunately, these datasets have historically not been very portable,
and there is not an agreed upon method of sharing metadata descriptions
of the recorded data itself. This is the problem that SigMF solves.

By providing a standard way to describe data recordings, SigMF
facilitates the sharing of data, prevents the "bitrot" of datasets
wherein details of the capture are lost over time, and makes it
possible for different tools to operate on the same dataset, thus
enabling data portability between tools and workflows.

libsigmf is a free & opensource library for working with SigMF
recordings. (https://sigmf.org)

It was designed to enable the use of SigMF through static types in C++,
thus enabling things like compile-time errors and code inspection.

It was created and first authored by DeepSig Inc., and then released to
the community as an Apache 2.0-licensed FOSS project at FOSDEM 2019.

Bug#971336: ITP: gr-satellites -- telemetry decoders for satellites using the Amateur radio bands

* Package name: gr-satellites
  Version : v3.4.0

* URL : https://github.com/daniestevez/gr-satellites
* License : (GPL v3)
  Programming Lang: (C++, Python)
  Description : Telemetry decoders for satellites using the Amateur
radio bands

gr-satellites is a GNU Radio out-of-tree module encompassing a
collection of telemetry decoders that supports many different Amateur
satellites. This open-source project started in 2015 with the goal of
providing telemetry decoders for all the satellites that transmit on
the Amateur radio bands.

It supports most popular protocols, such as AX.25, the GOMspace NanoCom
U482C and AX100 modems, an important part of the CCSDS stack, the AO-40
protocol used in the FUNcube satellites, and several ad-hoc protocols
used in other satellites.

This out-of-tree module can be used to decode frames transmitted from
most Amateur satellites in orbit, performing demodulation, forward
error correction, etc. Decoded frames can be saved to a file or
displayed in hex format. For some satellites the telemetry format
definition is included in gr-satellites, so the decoded telemetry
frames can be printed out as human-readable values such as bus voltages
and currents. Additionally, some satellites transmit files such as JPEG
images. gr-satellites can be used to reassemble these files and even
display the images in real-time as they are being received.

gr-satellites can be used as a set of building blocks to implement
decoders for other satellites or other groundstation solutions. Some of
the low level blocks in gr-satellites are also useful for other kinds
RF communications protocols.

Preliminary package is already prepared - plan is to do packaging under
the Debian Hamradio Maintainers Team and Salsa.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHams/
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-hamradio-team

While this has been (and will continue to be) a frequently updated
project, there are some satellite signals supported that would be
useful to decode during the lifespan of a stable Debian release.

2016-07-03 Thread A . Maitland Bottoms
Hi!

Welcome to the wonderful world of SDR software in Debian!

I have been considering packaging the liquidsdr library too.
For CubicSDR, I think the existing fonts-dejavu package could be used
instead of the CubicSDR/font directory.

Good luck,

libiio - IIO system library:
https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/libiio

Libiio is a library that has been developed by Analog Devices to ease
the development of software interfacing Linux Industrial I/O (IIO)
devices.

The library abstracts the low-level details of the hardware, and
provides a simple yet complete programming interface that can be used
for advanced projects.

The library is composed by one high-level API, and several backends:
the "local" backend, which interfaces the Linux kernel through the sysfs 
virtual filesystem,
the "network" backend, which interfaces the iiod server through a network 
link.

The IIO Daemon (IIOD) server is a good example of an application that
uses libiio. It creates a libiio context that uses the "local"
backend, and then share it on the network to any client application
using the "network" backend of libiio and connected to the server.

Source of several binary packages...
 iiod   - Daemon to share IIO devices on the network
 libiio-cil-dev - CLI bindings for libiio (development)
 libiio-dev - libiio development files
 libiio-utils - Miscellaneous libiio utilities
 libiio0- Library for interfacing with IIO devices

synchronized TX and RX stream from USRPs to ensure a constant phase
relation in measurements. Example flowgraphs for CW, Dual CW, FSK,
FMCW and OFDM radar are given and partly tested on hardware. GUI
elements for target representation and further signal processing
algorithms such as target tracking are implemented. Check out the
project website for example videos and further information.

Features:
Spectrogram with zoom/pan
Large (multi-gigabyte) file support

Goals:
Be fast and light
Make as many settings as possible work in realtime. I want this
 to be a useful tool for visually learning about DSP by tweaking
 around with things like FFT settings, filter widths or clock
 synchronisation.
Support large files - as large as possible, but at least
 several GBs.
Future features: filtering, demodulation, clock
 sync. Probably based on GNURadio.

the library code into its own package.

Recently too, a codec2 package has appeared in Fedora. So there is
more expectation of a distribution maintained codec2 library

VOLK release 1.0 is now available for download:

http://libvolk.org/releases/volk-1.0.tar.gz

MD5 sum: a17129f171747a0ac74fe44686227b69

For those that have not been following GNU Radio development, this is the first
release of VOLK as a sub-project of GNU Radio. This means VOLK lives in its own
git repository and is being tracked and developed independent of GNU Radio.

As part of this change there is a new project website (http://libvolk.org/) and
IRC channel (#volk on Freenode).

Since being broken out in December and this release the following individuals
have contributed to VOLK:

 * Albert Holguin aholguin...@yahoo.com
 * Doug Geiger doug.gei...@bioradiation.net
 * Elliot Briggs elliot.bri...@gmail.com
 * Julien Olivain julien.oliv...@lsv.ens-cachan.fr
 * Michael Dickens michael.dick...@ettus.com
 * Nathan West nathan.w...@okstate.edu
 * Tom Rondeau t...@trondeau.com

Full release notes are on the website (http://libvolk.org/initial-release.html
). (raw versions available from http://libvolk.org/news_raw/)

I'm excited about the change and hope to see the continuation and growth of
VOLK development and community. If you see the opportunity for new kernels
don't hesitate to add them. It is not necessary to write an implementation for
every architecture and it is often less work than you might think when adding a
single kernel.

As gnuradio maintainer I have been providing libvolk0.0.0, libvolk-dev and
libvolk-bin binary packages from the gnuradio source package. In the future
those will be build from the volk source package in Debian, and gnuradio
will depend on them. (Future gnuradio sources will no longer contain
the VOLK source.)

AirSpy:
A tiny and efficient software defined radio.


Airspy is a very tiny (5×3 cm) software defined radio receiver capable
of sampling 10MHz of spectrum anywhere between 24MHz and 1.7GHz. It is
the fruit of countless hours of head scratching, fiddling and
experimenting with the cutting edge Radio and DSP technologies. The
early prototypes gave such an unexpected satisfaction to us and our
friends, that we decided to give it a chance to survive commercially.

 -- http://airspy.com

This Debian package effort provides host support for the AirSpy
hardware,
allowing it to be used by GNU Radio and gr-osmosdr software.

AirSpy is a receiver project based upon the HackRF project.

gr-air-modes implements a software-defined radio receiver for Mode S
transponder signals, including ADS-B reports from equipped aircraft.

Mode S is the transponder protocol used in modern commercial aircraft.

ADS-B-equipped aircraft broadcast (squitter) their position, velocity,
flight number, and other interesting information to any receiver within
range of the aircraft. Position reports are typically generated once per
second and flight indentification every five seconds.

This package has the two main end-user applications modes_rx and modes_gui.

 Uwe == Uwe Hermann u...@hermann-uwe.de writes:
Uwe doesn't look like I'll have time to take care of rtl-sdr anytime soon,
Uwe please consider my ITP retracted. If anyone of you guys wants to take
Uwe over the package please go ahead. Sorry for the trouble.

That is quite allright. It's been a wild ride following rtl-sdr
activity, but things seem to have settled into a form worth capturing
as Debian packages. That said, if you have any ideas on getting
upstream to move forward with sane version numbering and use of
library sonames and soversion, keep contributing!

Motivated by Jonathan Corgan's effort to come up with a consistant
set of GNU Radio community packages for his gr-live DVD project, I
have taken his set of revisions to upload new Debian packages.

So I have have been working toward getting gqrx-sdr into Debian.
It depends upon gr-osmosdr, and so I have uploaded all the
packages needed by gr-osmosdr into NEW already. I've got my
gqrx-sdr and gr-osmosdr packages in good shape, and they will
soon follow modulo any bugs turned up by the autobuilders for
various odd architectures.

Once this set of packages are accepted into Debian, I want to
put all the package development into git on Alioth under
collab-maint. Then I can start building a software defined
radio maintenance team. You are on my list - let me know what you
would like to see that would make it easier for you to contribute.
I'm thinking some git-buildpackage workflow - but I still haven't
learned much about that yet myself.

Thanks for your interest,

 * gnuradio .cfile input through libgnuradio-blocks

By using the OsmoSDR block you can take advantage of a common software api in
your application(s) independent of the underlying radio hardware.

NOTE: The osmocom blocks will appear under 'Sources' and 'Sinks' categories

It autodetects the correct soundcard from /proc/asound/cards.
This idea was taken from the osmosdr drivers.

To control the device the hidraw code of the hidapi is used.

Dependencies:
- - gnuradio
- - alsa usb drivers activated

This capability is useful for GNU Radio via gr-osmosdr.

Bug#701018: #701018 ITP: rtl-sdr -- Software defined radio receiver for Realtek RTL2832U dongles

2013-09-29 Thread A. Maitland Bottoms
The osmocom repository
http://cgit.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr/
has a clear record, and I've used the
git log messages to assign copyright
to the tuner_fc2580.[ch] and tuner_r820t.[ch] files.
The license is that of the rtl-sdr project, GPL-2+.

I've decided to sponsor
Adam Cécile (Le_Vert) gand...@le-vert.net
since the result of merging his debian/ files
and mine looks mostly like his version.

I am writing some man pages with the goal of
a lintian clean upload.

Bug#701018: #701018 ITP: rtl-sdr -- Software defined radio receiver for Realtek RTL2832U dongles

2013-09-28 Thread A. Maitland Bottoms
So I too have had my own rtl-sdr packages for a while.

This weekend I'm updating everything with the idea of
matching the GNU Radio LiveDVD release 2013-0926
in Debian.

So I have a plan to try just removing the offending
files to upload a DFSG version simply to get rtl-sdr
into Debian. Then we can continue to chase down the
provenance of a few files later.

I say this of course because the devices _I_ own are
supported by the remaining files. :)

In any case I'd be open to putting rtl-sdr into
collab-maint on alioth as well as dump1090.
Adam - is fr24feed good enough for mentors.debian.net?

I've built it again using 0.0.1235-1

* Package name: freedv
  Version : 0.96r1235

* URL : http://freedv.org
* License : LGPL-2.1
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : Digital Voice for HF

FreeDV is a GUI application that allows any SSB radio to be used for
low bit rate digital voice.

Speech is compressed down to 1400 bit/s then modulated onto a 1100 Hz
wide QPSK signal which is sent to the Mic input of a SSB radio. On
receive, the signal is received by the SSB radio, then demodulated and
decoded by FreeDV.

FreeDV was built by an international team of Radio Amateurs working
together on coding, design, user interface and testing. FreeDV is open
source software, released under the GNU Public License version
2.1. The FDMDV modem and Codec 2 Speech codec used in FreeDV are also
open source.

Why FreeDV?

Amateur Radio is transitioning from analog to digital, much as it
transitioned from AM to SSB in the 1950's and 1960's. How would you
feel if one or two companies owned the patents for SSB, then forced
you to use their technology, made it illegal to experiment with or
even understand the technology, and insisted you stay locked to it for
the next 100 years? That's exactly what was happening with digital
voice. But now, hams are in control of their technology again!

FreeDV is unique as it uses 100% Open Source Software, including the
audio codec. No secrets, nothing proprietary! FreeDV represents a path
for 21st century Amateur Radio where Hams are free to experiment and
innovate, rather than a future locked into a single manufacturers
closed technology.

I've been builing packages while trying to keep up with
active development, and it is time for better availability
of packaged versions to facilitate testing by early adopters.

Expect the initial series of uploads to go into Debian experimental.
The Lintian warning count is low, but the upstream developers
expect some incompatible protocol changes between versions
for the near future.

  Description : Funcube Dongle driver for GNU Radio

The Funcube Dongle is a USB-attached radio receiver. This
package allows the device to be used as a source in GNU Radio
applications.

This package (and the resulting tarball) contains a GNU Radio block
for the Funcube Dongle. The Funcube Dongle is a software defined radio
receiver in a USB stick covering 64 MHz - 1.7 GHz. More info about the
Funcube Dongle is avaialble at http://www.funcubedongle.com/

The Funcube Dongle provides I/Q data via USB audio and its control
interface (frequency, gains, filters) uses the USB HID api. This block
wraps both the audio input and the control interface into one convenient
GNU Radio source block with a complex data stream output that can be used
in GNU Radio application written in C++, Python and the GNU Radio Companion.

This package requires that gnuradio-core and gnuradio-audio 3.5 is already
installed. It also depends on some GNU Radio prerequisites, such as Boost.
On Linux you will also need libusb-1.0 for the HID control interface.

This package includes the hidapi: http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/
and the FCD API code from Qthid: http://qthid.sf.net/ 

This package was created by Alexandru Csete OZ9AEC, and it is based on the
gr-howto-write-a-block example package by Eric Blossom and contributors.

simple demodulation and spectrum display program

The CuteSDR application's primary purpose is for spawning custom
applications or for educational use. It is NOT a full featured
program as it is purposely kept simple in order for developers to
more easily spin off their own applications. A further goal was to
use only the stock functionality of Qt ie no libraries or special
drivers. This limits CuteSDR to using only a network connection.
The main gui and framework is written by Moe Wheatly, AE4JY.

CuteSDR itself has only a network interface and will directly support
the RFSPACE NetSDR and SDR-IP radios. This package also supports
SDR-IQ/14 using an included network protocol server application by
Andrea Montefusco, IW0HDV with support from Ken Hopper, N9VV.

  Programming Lang: Python, C
  Description : A Software Defined Radio (SDR)

Using ALSA sound drivers or PortAudio Quisk offers these capabilities:
* Quisk can control the HiQSDR.
* As a receiver it can use the SDR-IQ by RfSpace as a sample
  source.  There are several decimation rates available.  The
  screen shots below were taken using the SDR-IQ.  The QUISK
  receiver will read the sample data, tune it, filter it,
  demodulate it, and send the audio to the sound card for output
  to external headphones or speakers. 
* As a receiver it can use your soundcard as a sample source.  You
  supply a complex (I/Q) mixer to convert radio spectrum to a low
  IF, and send that IF to the left and right inputs of the sound
  card in your computer.  The demodulated audio goes to the same
  soundcard for output.
* Quisk can control SoftRock hardware for both receive and transmit.
* As a transmitter it can control my  SSB/CW exciter  and my
  transceiver using Ethernet.
* As a transmitter it can accept microphone input and send that to
  your transmitter for SSB operation.  For CW, QUISK can mute the
  audio and substitute a side tone.  Quisk can send transmit data
  to your sound card for use with SoftRock or similar.  If you are
  not using SoftRock hardware and not using Ethernet, then you can
  modify the C code in microphone.c to connect to your hardware.

I've been listening to NOAA Weather Radio with a Funcube Dongle
(controlled using qthid-fcd-controller) and demodulated with
a preliminary package of quisk.

Bug#645333: qthid-fcd-controller -- simple controller for the Funcube Dongle SDR

2012-01-06 Thread A. Maitland Bottoms
OK,

I have created a Debian package.

Since many Funcube Dongles are out in the world with a
manufactured firmware version below 18f, I went ahead
and include a qthid-2.2 binary to handle firmware upgrades.

Using the new feature of Debian source packages with multiple
tarballs I build both qthid-2.2 and the current qthid version 3.1.

The difference between my ability to build on Debian squeeze version
and the inabiltiy to build on wheezy/sid is due to the default
qt4 platform scope value changing from linux-g++ to linux-g++-64
on 64 bit systems.

After figuring this out I see that upstream already handles
the problem:

December 29, 2011 Fix build issues on 64 bit linux.
https://github.com/csete/qthid/commit/67ddac88abe84ee7d8e71e2fcd122ae47fbb5a7b

So, I am not submitting the debian/patches/handle-linux-g++-64 patch upstream.

I then did a git remote add of my pkg-uhd.git repo.
 git remote add pkg-uhd git://anonscm.debian.org/users/bottoms/pkg-uhd.git

I checkout out the release_003_003_001 tag.
 git checkout release_003_003_001

Then I created a debian branch from that.
 git checkout -b debian

Then I merged pkg-uhd into my working debian branch.
 git pull pkg-uhd
 git merge remotes/pkg-uhd/experimental

Merge remote branch 'remotes/pkg-uhd/experimental' into debian

As the debian/copyright file mentions:
 The upstream package source tarball was generated from the tag:
 git archive --format=tar --prefix=uhd-3.3.1/ release_003_003_001 | gzip  
../uhd_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz
 The corresponding UHD images tarball was downloaded from:
 
http://files.ettus.com/uhd_releases/003_003_001/images-only/UHD-images-003.003.001.tar.gz

The UHD-images-003.003.001.tar.gz needs to be renamed/copied to
uhd_3.3.1.orig-contrib-images.tar.gz in the same directory as 
uhd_3.3.1.orig.tar.gz.

Extract the
and 
 mv UHD-images-003.003.001-59f407f contrib-images

(Somehow the dpkg source tools know how to do that for you.)

(Another way, https://github.com/EttusResearch/UHD-Mirror/archives/master
leads to upstream source tarballs. But git seems the direct way.)

Then build.
 debuild -rfakeroot -us -uc

There is likely more than one way to do it.
Many collab-maint projects simply keep the debian directory
and have other ways to handle upstream source.

Hope that helps.

Bug#645333: ITP: qthid-fcd-controller -- simple controller for the Funcube Dongle SDR

2011-11-16 Thread A. Maitland Bottoms
Hmm.

I did build both qthid version 2.2 and 3.0 on Debian squeeze.

The 2.2 version allowed me to update the firmware shipped in
the device to the newer better version, in a way the 3.0
version did not support.

So my box does indeed have the necessary dependencies installed,
but no, I did not package it.

hid_enumerate is defined in hid-libusb.c

All I did was run

qmake qthid.pro
make

with libusb-1.0-0-dev installed and qmake was from
the qt4-qmake package.

Bug#644789: ITP: UHD - Universal Hardware Driver for Universal Software Radio Peripherals

2011-10-08 Thread A. Maitland Bottoms
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: A. Maitland Bottoms bott...@debian.org

* Package name: uhd-host
  Version : 3.2.4
  Upstream Author : Ettus Research LLC
* URL :
  http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: C, Python
  Description : UHD - Universal Hardware Driver for Universal Software 
Radio Peripherals

For those who remember the usrper application and libusrp* packages,
those days are behind us. The UHD library handles both the USB
attached USRP1 and ethernet connected USRP2 devices, and newer
devices. It replaces the old libusrp1* and libusrp2* stuff.

The good news is that the new firmware for the network attached
devices actually does UDP/IP - rather than the raw ethernet protocol
used by the libusrp2* drivers. Part of what makes that possible is
that the FPGA uses a DFSG free BSD style license for an embedded ZPU
processor. So here we have free software drivers communicating via
TCP/UDP to free hardware which is running embedded free software
compiled by a free modification to the free GNU Compiler Collection.

The bad news is that the older USB connected boards made use of FX2
USB hardware, and programming of that hardware requires the non-free
part of the sdcc compiler. In addition, actually instantiating a free
ZPU processor on a FPGA requires proprietary tools from the FPGA
manufacturer. Even the USRP1 source is closely tied to the proprietary
Altera tools. So the end result is that the generated firmware, even
though it comes from freely available and even DFSG free source code,
ends up being in Debian's contrib repository instead of main.

The ugly news is that firmware developer's preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it often includes proprietary
vendor-specific sections. Only natural, considering that the resulting
firmware will be used by that vendor's hardware. So here we have a
source package that defines a device/driver interface that is, on the
whole, free software. However, parts of the source are constrained by
the available proprietary vendor tools. So while modification is
allowed to support similar hardware with other vendors, some portions
of the source code are not useful for that task.

The UHD packages cover the same issues as the previous GNU Radio
packages. Perhaps one reason for the similarity is that so many of the
same people are involved in the development of both packages.

The Road ahead might include UHD driver support for openHPSDR project
hardware. This would be a milestone, and would demonstrate the
convergence of the GNU project GPL licensed gnuradio software and the
TAPR OHL (Open Hardware License) hardware pioneered by TAPR and the
openHPSDR project.

Bug#160609: ITP: speex -- Free Speech Coding

2002-09-11 Thread Maitland Bottoms
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


The Speex project aims to build an open-source (LGPL) patent-free
voice codec. Unlike other codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is
specially designed for compressing voice at low bit-rates in the 8-32
kbps/channel range. Possible applications include Voice over IP
(VoIP), Internet audio streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g. voice
mail), and audio books. In some sense, it is meant to be complementary
to the Ogg Vorbis codec.

Home page is at: http://speex.sourceforge.net/

A preliminary packaging of version 0.8.1 is done, will be uploaded to
Debian when some man pages are written and a linitan rpath warning
gets solved.


Jean-Marc Valin writes:
   Let me know if, or when,  you'd like me to add speex into Debian.
  
  Well, you can start doing it now, as long as you make sure people know
  that the current file format may not be definitive (just like when
  Vorbis was around beta). I think the file format should be frozen within
  1-2 months at which point it will be ready for more general use.

OK,

So I just threw up a trial package for darkice. The .deb built
without lame (mp3) support, but Ogg Vorbis 1.0 support was all I was
looking for. The package probably needs more sensible build-depends,
and a /etc/init.d/darkice script that would start after a
/etc/init.d/icecast2 script so that a system might boot into streaming
live audio.

My efforts are on klecker.debian.org (aka people.debian.org) in

 CMake is used to control the software compilation process using
 simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake
 generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the
 compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it
 is possible to support complex environments requiring system
 configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and
 template instantiation.

 also provided support in the context of their parallel computation
 environment. Other sponsors include the Insight, VTK, and VXL open

Multiplatform Soundcard Packet Radio Modem by Thomas Sailer,

The software is published under the GNU GPL V2

This software allows a standard PC soundcard to be used as a packet

Unlike previous packet radio modem software, this new release offers
several new benefits:
 - Now uses standard operating system sound drivers (OSS/Free under
   Linux, /dev/audio under Solaris and DirectSound under Windows), thus
   runs on all soundcards for which drivers for the desired operating
   system are available.
 - No fixed relationship between bitrate, sampling rate, and modem
   parameters. Modems may be parametrized, and multiple modems may even
   run on the same audio channel!
 - Usermode solution allows the use of MMX, VIS, Floating point and other
   media instruction sets to speed up computation.
 - Cross platform builds from a single source code provides ubiquitous
   availability.

It's been almost a year since I packaged vtk-3.1, which I never got to
comply with policy but have been using, from time to time, on my own
systems.

Now there's a 3.1.2 version at ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/vtk (with
a version 3.2 in the wings). Also, XFree86 4 seems better suited to
using GL applications.

The observant among you may have seen vtk-doc_3.2-1_all.deb hit the
package pool. Although it's big, it shouldn't hurt the
autobuilders. (There was no upstream doc package for 3.1.2 and
earlier).

At this time I and working on the following lintian errors:
 file-directly-in-usr-share-doc
 ldconfig-symlink-missing-for-shlib
 no-shlibs-control-file
 postinst-must-call-ldconfig
and warning:
 non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink

And I am working on reducing the size of the diff (upstream doesn't
have a clean enough distclean target).

Upload will be soon, I hope, and will entail the following:
 vtk libvtk libvtk-dev libvtk-patented python-vtk vtk-examples
 task-vtk

There might be a vtk-data coming, and version 3.2 should have a
