Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to get PlutoSDR Sink and Source into Gnuradio in Linux Ubuntu 17.04

[Brashendeavours]

Ed,

You installed using PyBombs? Perfect, that’s what the instructions call for! :)

When using PyBombs and installing new modules, you want to ensure you are under the proper prefix.  This is usually ~/gnuradio/default or ~/prefex/default (as per https://www.gnuradio.org/blog/pybombs-the-what-the-how-and-the-why/)

Additionally, make sure to run the script that ensures both PyBombs and gnuradio components are installed in the correct locations.

$ cd ~/prefix/default  (or ~/gnuradio/default)
$ source ./setup_env.sh

So get a grip on this, then run:

$ sed -i 's/gitrev.*/gitbranch: master/' ~/.pybombs/recipes/gr-recipes/gr-iio.lwr

$ pybombs install gr-iio

Let me know if it’s a win.

Cheers,

Blake

Hi Blake,
I saw that, and some other things, but I am wondering if that will work in my case since I installed Gnuradio-companion using PYBOMBS. I believe that results in a totally different directory structure, but I am not sure.

Ed

Hello Ed,

Located on the post you mentioned, at: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/adalm-pluto-sdr-unboxing-and-initial-testing/

Is a link to a reddit post explaining what you ask: https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/6tnjba/getting_started_with_adalmpluto_and_gnu_radio/

Steps 2 and 3 of that post explain how to install the newest version of the gr-iio module (that includes Pluto support).

Cheers,

Blake

I am trying to get my PlutoSDR to work with Gnuradio-companion in Ubuntu 17.04. It took a while, but I have Gnuradio-companion up and running and if I go into the Industrial IO, I see various sinks and sources for FMCOMMS, but nothing for PlutoSDR. I have seen several posts where the PlutoSDR source is clearly in Gnuradio-companion. How do you get it into the software? One page that clearly shows the source is https://www.rtl-sdr.com/adalm-pluto-sdr-unboxing-and-initial-testing/.

I am running GNU Radio Companion 3.7.12git-269-g8aa965c6

Below is a screen shot of what I am trying to get from the above-mentioned web site.
