gr-osmosdr

The Osmocom project is a family of projects regarding Open source mobile communications.

While primarily being developed for the OsmoSDR hardware, this block as well supports:

• FUNcube Dongle through gr-funcube
• FUNcube Dongle Pro+ through gr-funcube
• RTL2832U based DVB-T dongles through librtlsdr
• RTL-TCP spectrum server (see librtlsdr project)
• gnuradio .cfile input through libgnuradio-blocks
• RFSPACE SDR-IQ, SDR-IP, NetSDR (incl. X2 option)
• Great Scott Gadgets HackRF through libhackrf
• Nuand LLC bladeRF through libbladeRF library
• Ettus USRP Devices through Ettus UHD library
• Fairwaves UmTRX through Fairwaves’ fork of UHD
• AIRSPY Receiver
• AIRSPY HF+ Receiver
• SoapySDR support
• Red Pitaya SDR transceiver (http://bazaar.redpitaya.com)
• FreeSRP through libfreesrp

Example applications include osmocom_fft, osmocom_siggen, and osmocom_spectrum_sense.

By using the OsmoSDR block you can take advantage of a common software API in your application(s) independent of the underlying radio hardware. This package provides C++ header files, documentation, and Python3 wrappers to the library.
