I’ve spent some time putting together a live-boot system for LimeSDR tooling.
This allows you to boot into a pre-built operating system pre-loaded with LimeSDR, gnuradio, gqrx, etc from a USB thumb-drive (or an emulator like VirtualBox)
This is delivered as both a linux shell script, and a pre-built iso file for amd64 architecture. This project leverages the debian live project to compile a bootable ISO compatible with BIOS and UEFI devices.
I’ve been able to successfully utilize:
LimeSuiteGui, LimeQuickTest, LimeUtil
GQRX
This image also provides GnuRadio 3.8, but I’ve not spent time with that tool yet
After logging into the live-boot sytem, open the ‘terminal’ program in order to execute the programs like LimeSuiteGui and GQRX
im running ubuntu 20.04.1 lts daily build amd64 desktop.
i only use “Try Ubuntu” and then i use these commands.
first i enable the community drivers in settings
then i do these commands in a terminal
sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-pyqt5 python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-soapysdr soapysdr-module-lms7 gqrx-sdr cubicsdr limesuite
pip3 install --user qspectrumanalyzer
this gives me qspectrumanalyzer, gqrx-sdr, limesuite and cubicsdr.
what it does not give me is a working nvidia binary driver so i can use opencl fft or cuda like for fosphor.
anyhow if you could share your knowledge on how to create custom ubuntu 20.04 live enviroment “Try Ubuntu” with a working nvidia binary driver instead of the nauveau driver it would be awesome.
thanks
wow!
great job.
i havent done what you have done yet as mentioned above for the instructions but im thinking about it except both my laptops are running ubuntu 20.04 as its the LTS now.
