nogsp / pysdruhd

A python-based UHD wrapper to allow streaming from a USRP in python (the name might change, don't get too attached to it)

pysdruhd

This is a C python extension that wraps UHD in a friendly way. The goal here is to make a UHD interface that doesn't get in the way and feels like python. The purpose of this is not to provide a 1:1 API exposure to UHD, but to make it easy to do the things I'm interested in doing from python.

Building

You need python (currently I don't do much cmake-fu to detect python versions, so only 2 works), numpy, and UHD. You build like any other cmake project:

1. git clone mkdir build cd build
2. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/apps/target-4-5-17 ../ replace ~/apps/target-4-5-17 with your PyBOMBS target directory
3. make
4. sudo make install

Binary install

I currently upload a package to anaconda that you can install with

conda install -c n-west pysdruhd

that will install my UHD package as well.

Status

There's a ton of features missing and it's not so graceful when things fail. You can either wait for that to improve, try to fix and add things, or ignore the project.

Copying and using
