Krzysztof Halasa 26f93e4687 RTL-TCP: Convert to single class model
The existing RTL TCP driver is quite different from its brother RTL_SDR.
It's much more complicated, uses gr::blocks::deinterleave and
gr::blocks::float_to_complex, and generally doesn't work correctly
(e.g. https://github.com/csete/gqrx/issues/99
 Spectrum is mirrored when filter or demodulator changes (rtl_tcp) #99)

I've converted the RTL TCP driver to the model used by RTL_SDR,
simplifying it in the process, and fixing the GQRX issue.

Krzysztof Halasa 33a8d1c2ae RTL-SDR: convert _lut to float[] to reduce size by a factor of 256
The _lut is being indexed by I + Q (16 bits = 65536 entries), however
both samples can be processed independently, resulting in 8-bit LUT.
Saves a bit of RAM and CPU cache.

Josh Blum cf9549485a soapy - correct constant for frequency correction
This is a typo, some modules use the "CORR" string
in the setFrequency(dir, chan, name, value) API
to perform fine frequency adjustments.
Updated modules will use setFrequencyCorrection(),
this is support for backwards compatible implementations.

Josh Blum a9e536f45b soapy - check for freq corr before invoking

Lukas Lao Beyer 5ecfa255d2 Add support for FreeSRP
This patch adds support for both receiving and transmitting using
the FreeSRP. More information on the FreeSRP can be found at:

http://freesrp.org

The gr-osmosdr blocks added make use of libfreesrp, the library
required for interfacing with this device. The libfreesrp source
code is freely available at

https://github.com/freesrp/libfreesrp

Usage example:

osmocom_fft -a "freesrp"

This patch enables sending keep-alive packets at 1 minute interval to

receive any response to the queries and the radio will close the
connection after 5 seconds.

Josh Blum 860e9a1a72 soapy: provide default gain range step
The soapysdr range type does not provide a step size,
however apps like the osmocom siggen use this size for a slider,
and a value of zero will cause a divide by zero error.

Although many ranges are not actually linear,
the idea to provide some default step to avoid crashes.
A future addition to the API may include providing a step.

Dimitri Stolnikov 164a09fc11 airspy: Option pack={0,1} to enable USB bit packing
Patch provided by Martin Smith.

Last July there were several changes made to the Airspy firmware and
libairspy that added support for a new bit packing mode where 4 sets of
12 bit samples are packed into 3 sets of 16 bits for the transfer across
the USB bus ( https://i.imgur.com/qXnWoEK.png?1 ). 25% less data is
transferred across the bus and this is good for some computers with
cheap USB chipsets. There is an overhead of extra memory bandwidth
required on the host side to unpack the data into a useful format, so
for optimal performance bit packing is disabled by default.

The data is automatically unpacked within libairspy before being passed
along, so no changes are required anywhere else if packing is enabled
(or not enabled). Airspy firmware older than v1.0.0-rc6 does not have
the function, but that is detected and handled by libairspy.

I wrote the attached patch to enable packing in gr-osmosdr, which I
tested and it works. It is basically a clone of the bias=0|1 lines as
pack=0|1 and calls the needed libairspy function.

Do some Baseline test with Airspy command line tools to have something

Wireshark->Statistics->IO Graph
The Bytes/Tick are double the actual data rate because of way wireshark
collects the USB packets, I could have added a filter to fix this. But
the relationship is valid 25% less with packing enabled. The data rate
in the IO Grahp drops from 80MB/sec (in+out) [really 40MB/sec] to
60MB/second (in+out) [really 30MB/sec] from unpacked to packed.
10MSPS no packing, packing https://i.imgur.com/pA9LPdE.png?1

Verification test with my patched gr-osmosdr
--------------------------------------------
$ sudo mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
$ sudo modprobe usbmon
$ wireshark -i usbmod3 &
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 10000000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=1" -s 10000000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=1" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1
$ osmocom_fft -a "airspy=0,pack=0" -s 2500000 --fft-rate=1

I ran all of the above tests and the wireshark USB throughput graphs
showed exactly what was expected.
40MB/sec(10MSPS+normal),30MB/sec(10MSPS+packing),10MB/sec(2.5MSPS
+normal),7.5MB/sec(2.5MSPS+packing),10MB/sec(2.5MSPS+normal),10MB/
sec(2.5MSPS+normal).

25% less when packing was enabled and if you did not specify the
"pack=1", then no bit packing is performed by libairspy. All the
magnitudes within the FFT windows looked exactly the same as they do
without bit packing.

Dimitri Stolnikov 2b79811350 bladerf: implement options for clock configuration
Since firmware 2016.01-rc1 bladeRF has the ability to lock to an
external reference as well as produce arbitrary frequency signal
(25 MHz here) on its clock output.

Use gr-osmosdr source with the following arguments to produce 25
MHz on the SMB connector:

osmocom_fft -a bladerf,smb=25e6

smb=25e6

To lock the bladeRF itself to an external GPSDO reference, use
additional arguments tamer=external for 10MHz or tamer=external_1pps for
1PPS GPSDO signals.

osmocom_fft -a bladerf,smb=25e6,tamer=external

tamer={internal,external_1pps,external}

The described method requires https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/releases/
tag/2016.01-rc1

Carefully *read the instructions for external reference locking*
(especially max allowed voltage levels) on Nuand's blog https://

Jon Szymaniak 86ad584204 bladeRF: Support opening via a (subset of a) serial number, using any backend
The bladerf=X,[arguments] string now supports the following, where X is:

    - The "device instance" which represents the Nth bladeRF connected.
      This is 0-indexed, in the order displayed by `bladeRF-cli --probe`.

    - The device's serial number.
        For libbladeRF >= 1.4.1, a subset of the serial number is
        supported. The subset must be at least the first three
        characters of the serial number.

The backend specifier has been changed from "libusb" to the wildcard
("*"), allowing any available backend to be used.

Use of the bladeRF metadata can be enabled via a 'enable_metadata'
device argument. If running full-duplex, this must be provided to both
the source and the sink. This does not currently any additional features
to the sink.
