MIRICS MSI20500 - SDRPlay

[Pete Johnson]

Hi,

I feel like I am getting somewhere close to having SDRplay working in Ubuntu. 

I eventually managed to complete the install guide - http://www.sdrplay.com/docs/Mirics_SDR_API_Linux_install_technote_r2p0.pdf

Yet when I start GQRX, I don't see SDRPlay in the list of Devices, but I do see MIRICS MSI20500. I get that SDRPlay is built around this.

but just wondering if there is something simple I need to do now to get SDRPlay working?

Might I need to blacklist MIRICS MSi2500?

I'd appreciate any help or ideas how I might be able to get this working

Many Thanks

I suspect that the "miri=0" device detected on your screenshot comes
from the old opensource driver.

When you build gr-osmosdr, at the end of the "cmake ..." it prints a
summary of which backends it has enabled. Clearly, sdrplay should be
in the enabled section.

Be careful not to mix source and binary installations of gnuradio,
gr-osmosdr and gqrx. If you decide to pursue the build from source
method, everything has to be built from source and binary packages
uninstalled. Otherwise you don't know what is used when.

Thanks for coming back to me. You might be right with the mix. I will try again, now I know the other things I need to complete the build.

This is so blooming challenging, but don't want to give up!

I need to start again anyway, as something is wrong with the GROSMOS block, my rtl dongle works, but when I call a python script to open a GRC LRPT soft symbol receiver, A terminal window flashed for a split second. So did it a few time till i got a screen capture! 

So back to the bloody drawing board it is. I have at least made a decent ISO Imafe of this installation prior to screwing it up. So worse case scenario, is that I just leave SDRPlay for now, and re-install my stock image ;-)
