Gnu Radio Companion Download Mac



The Simple ARQ MAC Simple ARQ - accepts msg blobs on the 'app in' msg port. It will add a header that incldues a sequence number, desination address, source address, and a couple of control words. Source address is the address of the MAC itself. The source address is the address of the radio. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bits; 4 Gb RAM (can be in/decreased in your VM) VMWare format (version 10.0 or higher); 20 Gb virtual hard drive (2.08 Gb in 7zip file) 1 core cpu.

I briefly mentioned previously about using gnu radio on Linux or OSX. Today I will walkthough the installation process on OSX.

Gnu Radio Companion Download Mac

First install MacPorts if you have not already done so: http://www.macports.org.

First install the rtl-sdr drivers:

Now the latest version of gnuradio uses variants:

So if we issue:

All necessary packages and components will be installed!

You can now use gnuradio in Python and use gnuradio-companion. To construct radio based programs

You can also use GQRX, to visualise the radio spectrum to identify and tune into specific frequencies.

UPDATE: OSX Mavericks

Download Gnu Radio Companion

Since the update to Mavericks GNURadio was temporarily broken, looking at the Macports Buglist the Team apparently had problems with swig and boost. I can confirm that as of this weekend the problem has been rectified, and once again we can enjoy radio and playing with RTLSDRs on OSX Mavericks.

After upgrading Mavericks remember to perform the following:

  • Update Xcode to Verison 5.0.2+
  • Update Macoprts verision 2.2.1 (OS X 10.9 Mavericks)
  • For minimum support of MacPorts, you need the Command Line Tools, which can be installed using “xcode-select --install'
  • Run “sudo port update”
  • Then either:
    • “sudo port upgrade outdated”
    • If you have not install GNURadio before “sudo port install gnuradio +full”
