Hoping to find some how-to on building/installing the myriadRF Novena board… so I can play with GNU Radio. I see there’s a driver on github, but no build/install info (for old dummies like me).

Hi Jay,

Driver development only started a few weeks ago and it’s not likely to be ready for testing until around the end of February. Once we have a working driver and GNU Radio integration, how-to guides etc. will follow.

Regards,

Andrew

Hello, so I followed the blog post [https://myriadrf.org/blog/installing-the-novena-rf-driver-and-gnu-radio/](https://myriadrf.org/blog/installing-the-novena-rf-driver-and-gnu-radio/) but got stuck at testing with rx\_ascii\_art\_dft, it didn’t find my device. Thanks to russm on #kosagi the missing link was “cd /usr/share && sudo ln -s …/lib/uhd/ .” and after that everything else worked! Woohoo! Perhaps the blog post could be updated? Or the prepare\_novena\_rf.sh script updated?
