Prerequisites
To use these recipes, you need PyBOMBS installed and initialize this recipe repository. You also need at least the gr-recipes repository enabled.
To install the latest official release of PyBOMBS, simply run
$ [sudo] pip install PyBOMBS
However, you might want to run the latest bleeding edge version of PyBOMBS, which you can install by running
$ [sudo] pip install [--upgrade] git+https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs.git
After initialization, make sure you have the gr-recipes and ettus-pybombs repositories enabled:
$ pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git
$ pybombs recipes add ettus-pybombs git+https://github.com/EttusResearch/ettus-pybombs.git
See the PyBOMBS manual for more details:
Using these recipes
There are different types of recipes:
- Package recipes
- Prefix recipes
- SDK recipes
Usage depends on the type of recipes. SDK recipes attach an SDK to a prefix, and are usually referenced when initializing a prefix:
$ pybombs prefix init --sdk <name> -a <alias> <path>
Prefix recipes initialize a prefix with a full set of configuration options and packages, e.g.:
$ pybombs prefix init -R <recipe> -a <alias> <path>
This can include SDKs, and may take a while. Example:
$ pybombs prefix init -R e3xx-custom-uhd ~/prefix/e300
...will create a directory in ~/prefix/e300, install the E300 SDK, and install
a version of UHD from source. This will let you test latest UHD on an E310 with
the minimum of effort.
