The problem appears to be using <var_make> and <var_value> in the xml files.

 

Presumably this is a new(ish) additional functionality in GNU Radio, which my old version can’t parse?

Yes, those are new in 3.7 (3.7.4, I think but would have to check to verify). It's a way of letting us build objects within GRC and use them as such in other areas of the flowgraph. So you can define an FEC variable and call methods on it, like cc.K() to get the CC's constraint length.

You can probably remove these from the .xml files and lose that functionality. It's a nice convenience but not necessary. You can replace it by having another variable, say for K, and use that in any place you might require it instead of pulling it straight from the CC variable itself.

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] CC encoder definition (variable_cc_encoder_def)

 

Dear All,

 

I am trying to get the latest gr-fec code running in an older version of GNU Radio. I know this sounds like a terrible idea, and I don’t expect any sympathy but there is a reason why we can’t upgrade to the newest GNU Radio, due to some legacy issues.

 

If you are still reading…

 

I can’t get the CC Encoder Definition block to appear in GNU Radio, we are using 3.7.2. I have copied the whole of the gr-fec folder from the latest install including the grc folder which contains ‘variable_cc_encoder_def_list.xml’. Is there something else fundamentally missing from older version of GNU Radio to support this kind of definition block?

 

Thanks!

 

David
