Installing Pluto SDR blocks in GnuRadio
« on: June 26, 2020, 01:40:57 AM »

I posted this in the GNURadio subreddit but it doesn't seem to be that active, so hoping for an GnuRadio and Pluto SDR user here :-)

I just got a Pluto SDR but i cant figure out how to add the Pluto SDR blocks to GnuRadio.
I am not an expert on Linux and I'm probably just missing a simple step.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and the Pluto is recognized on the usb port after installing the .deb file that's included on the Pluto.

I have followd this guide: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/gnuradio (see steps and screenshot below)
and i have also tried installing the libiio and libad9361 .deb files with the ubuntu installer. There were no errors.

I got a feeling that i have installed the files in the wrong location and that GnuRadio cant find them but i don't know how to fix it.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to add PlutoSdr to GnuRadio pls?



This is what i did:

(sudo) apt install libxml2 libxml2-dev bison flex cmake git libaio-dev libboost-all-dev
(sudo) apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio.git
cd libiio
cmake .
make
sudo make install
cd ..

and

git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libad9361-iio.git
cd libad9361-iio
cmake .
make
sudo make install
cd ..

Solved --- I think

At https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/gnuradio

There is a part on that site that says GNU Radio 3.8 that i did not see that says:

(sudo) apt install liborc-dev

git clone -b upgrade-3.8 https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/gr-iio.git
cd gr-iio
cmake .
make
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo ldconfig

And now the PlutoSDR blocks are in GnuRadio :-)

I have not tested the blocks yet, but its looking good
