Marty - pihpsdr is up and running. Still need to plug in the lime and so some things, but it is up on the screen.
The following is from your original post plus a bunch of addendums dumb dumb dumbs… (8–) I want to post this hear so others can see what I did. There are comments sprinkled thru the doc which will need some cleaning, but I’d like to have this available for other folks who are not linux wizards. Maybe this could be converted to a few scripts to prevent typos too. I would do that.
I have to say I’m thrilled to get this far. Thanks for all the work.
Barry
I have this file in OpenOffice. send me corrections.
file follows ====================================
I can get you going, but you’ll have to first start off with a fresh load of Ubuntu 18.04 for the Pi with a MATE desktop that you can obtain here:
Ubuntu MATE – 29 Mar 19
Ubuntu MATE 18.04 Beta-1 for the Raspberry Pi Model B 2, 3 and 3+
Once you have that flashed and running, then proceed to install all the baseline for LimeSuite to interact with the Pi:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install limesuite liblimesuite-dev limesuite-udev limesuite-images
sudo apt-get install soapysdr-tools soapysdr-module-lms7
// the following is NOT required
Then grab and install LimeSuite:
git clone https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite.git
cd LimeSuite
git checkout stable
mkdir builddir && cd builddir
cmake …/
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
…and then at the command prompt type in:
sudo LimeSuiteGUI
// from pa3gsb on github
sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install wiringPi
sudo git clone https://github.com/g0orx/wdsp
cd wdsp
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
// something changed on drogon.net as this doesn’t work the way it says. I can’t now recite what I did.
…then you ‘re-do’ wiringPi
sudo git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
sudo git clone https://git.drogon.net/wiringpi <------- changed to https:// rather than git://
// also it is not Pi, it is “pi”
cd wiringpi
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
…Then you clone the piHPSDR:
git clone https://github.com/g0orx/pihpsdr.git
cd pihpsdr <------ this should really be:
/home/USERNAME/pihpsdr/release/pihpsdr
sudo ./install.sh
…and let it do it’s thing to install PiHPSDR - you can also refer to these instructions, too:
wget https://github.com/g0orx/pihpsdr/blob/master/release/documentation/pihpsdr-install.pdf
…but getting back to the terminal session:
cd pihpsdr
chmod +x start_pihpsdr.sh
sudo ./start_pihpsdr.sh <----- added “.sh”
