Re: Rust-lang

    Hi Sam,
    
    I started looking at using the CXX library for this, there's even a
    few CMake examples. My hope is to make a Rust block similar to the
    current embedded Python Block available in GRC. I've not made it to
    the point of even test code though. If you want to look further into
    this I'd be very interested.

    There are no plans to port the core of GNU Radio to Rust, but
    Bastian Blossel has been doing some experiments around SDR runtimes
    in Rust.

    There are bindings for UHD and the SOAPY SDR device API, but I
    haven't tried either.

    Has anyone else looked or thought about this?
    
    Cheers,
    Derek

Howdy,

 

I’ve written GNU Radio blocks with C++ and Python in the past, but lately I’ve been transitioning to using Rust-lang for many of my other projects.

Does anyone know of any current Rust integration/porting/rewriting plans or efforts for GNU Radio (or other SDR frameworks)?

 

I’m really enjoying using Rust, so I’d really like to be able to use it for SDR applications.

 

Thanks,

Sam
