[SMCARA] SDR on ARM Processor Status

[Daniel Metcalf]

Just a quick update as to how things are going getting gnuradio working
on an ARM processor. Last night I was able to start and finally complete
a build of Qt v5.4.1 from source code that should work on the Beagle
Bone Black, Raspberry Pi and my new RADXA Rock Pro boards. I had to go
out a buy a new microSD card (bestbuy has samsung class 10 16GB for
$9.99) to get it done because the build was filling up the 8GB of
onboard storage that the RADXA Rock Pro has.

With QT built and installed I have started the build for gnuradio and
it's libraries. I just checked on it remotely from work and it seems to
be proceeding normally. At least no errors yet! Once that is built then
I will build the gqrx sdr application from source so that it will run on
the ARM processor. If all goes well then I should have my rtl-sdr
HF/VHF/UHF receiver running on the Radxa Rock Pro by the weekend.
