[Discuss-gnuradio] Fwd: Can open BTS run on RasPi?
Hi, I just watched a video on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCcKgrzbix4#at=42 They say they have ported OpenBTS and GR to RasPi and they could make phone calls between 2 mobile phones. Is that even possible? Is RasPi strong enough for handling that kind of data? I am very curious to hear your comments on this, BR, Farhad ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

HI Andrew, Thanks, I will ask the question on OpenBTS, I thought that OpenBTS was a layer on top of the GR, thanks for correcting me.

It would seem that it is possible to make something work, but as far as I'm aware it's not practical/useful, unless perhaps there were OpenCL support for RasPi and you could rewrite parts of OpenBTS to make use of the GPU. In any case, the host is just a small part of the hardware costs and it would be better to run OpenBTS on something more capable. I am very curious to hear your comments on this, You are aware that OpenBTS and GNU Radio are different codebases? I'd suggest posting questions such as this to the OpenBTS discuss list: http://sourceforge.net/p/openbts/mailman/ Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Back http://carrierdetect.com -- ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
