Re: QubicSDR on the Pi3?

[Larry Dighera]

Here's how to successfully build CubicSDR under Debbie Jessie on the Raspberry
Pi3.

The script below was adapted from the information on this page
<https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/wiki/Build-Linux>, and reflects the
commands that resulted in the successful build. You may find the formatting
less than optimal due to autocratic-wardwrapping.

# Add CubicSDR to the X11 menu with the Menu Editor:
cubicsdr/CubicSDR/build/x86/CubicSDR[/code]CubicSDR defaults to PulseAudio,
which was installed in the dist-upgrade a few days ago. However, I don't have
the Pulse deamon running, so I didn't hear any audio yet. To my joyous
surprise the waterfall and spectrum run reasonably fast. CubicSDR seems to use
about 85% of the CPU cycles, and may be reduced about 10% in the CubicSDR
Settings drop-down menu.

Put this in the X11 Menu Editor: cubicsdr/CubicSDR/build/x86/CubicSDR

CubicSDR defaults to PulseAudio, which was installed in the dist-upgrade a few
days ago. However, I don't have the Pulse deamon running, so I didn't hear any
audio yet. To my joyous surprise the waterfall and spectrum run reasonably
fast. CubicSDR seems to use about 85% of the CPU cycles, and may be reduced
about 10% in the CubicSDR Settings drop-down menu.
