| == Install UHD from source ==
| | [[Category:Block Docs]] |
| | |
| If you want to use GNU Radio with a USRP, install the UHD package from source using the following instructions.
| |
| UHD sits at the same level as GNU Radio as an independent driver, which gr-uhd references. So if you want gr-uhd enabled, you <b>FIRST</b> must clone and install UHD.
| |
| | |
| For this example, we will start in the home directory to parallel the steps in [[InstallingGR#From_Source]].
| |
| | |
| <pre>cd ~/</pre>
| |
| | |
| Clone the code into your home directory:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| git clone git://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git
| |
| cd ~/uhd
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| <b>Note:</b> In the following command, change <code>v3.15.0.0</code> to some other branch or tag if you want to build a different version.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| git tag -l
| |
| git checkout v3.15.0.0
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| <b>Note:</b> Unlike most build processes, UHD builds under the <code>host</code> directory.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| cd host
| |
| mkdir build
| |
| cd build
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| <b>Note:</b> In the following command, we will use <code>-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local</code> to install UHD into the same prefix as GNU Radio. When compiling for ARM platforms, the assumption is made that NEON extensions are available if the arm_neon.h header is found. However, for platforms such as Raspberry Pi, one must specify -DNEON_SIMD_ENABLE=OFF in the following command.
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| cmake -DNEON_SIMD_ENABLE=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ../
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| <b>Note:</b> In the following command, if your computer's CPU has multiple cores, you can use the argument <code>-j#</code> to speed compilation; <br> e.g., <code>make -j3</code> will use 3 threads in the build. Specify at least one less than the number of CPU cores so the system does not appear to 'freeze' during the build. If not specified, then a single thread is used for the build; this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it will take roughly 2 times as long to build as using 2 threads, and roughly 3 times as long to build as using 3 threads.<br>
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| make -j3
| |
| make test
| |
| sudo make install
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If you're running Linux, then always do the following command after installing any library:
| |
| | |
| <pre>sudo ldconfig</pre>
| |
| | |
| You can now download the UHD FPGA Images for this installation.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| sudo uhd_images_downloader
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| On Linux, udev handles USB plug and unplug events. The following commands install a udev rule so that non-root users may access the device.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| cd ~/uhd/host/utils
| |
| sudo cp uhd-usrp.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
| |
| sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
| |
| sudo udevadm trigger
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The installation of UHD is now complete. At this point, connect the USRP to the host computer and run:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| uhd_usrp_probe
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| == Install GNU Radio ==
| |
| | |
| <b>The next steps will take two or more hours. Be patient. The terminal does show the progress.</b>
| |
| | |
| Click [[InstallingGR#From_Source]] to go to the install instructions.
