Raspberry Pi GNU Radio

This process to install GNU Radio on the Raspberry Pi assumes:

  • Raspberry Pi OS is installed on the headless Raspberry Pi.
  • At least a 16 GB filesystem in the Raspberry Pi.
  • Raspberry Pi 3 or newer, as GNU Radio can tax the CPU and IO of modest ARM processors. GNU Radio requires at least an ARMv7 processor. However many applications benefit from Raspberry Pi 4 or newer. Get at least the 4 GB RAM model.

Install GNU Radio. This takes more than 10 minutes even with a fast SD card.

apt install gnuradio gnuradio-dev git

For Red Pitaya with Raspberry Pi GNU Radio, also install

apt install gr-hpsdr

Configure the Red Pitaya for six HPSDR receivers

If needed, rename Ethernet interface to eth0
