Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] WinDRM

[Matteo Campanella]

Brett, here there is how I made it work on my install:

1) create a tmpfs on linux by adding this mount point to /etc/fstab:
ramfs                   /mnt/ramfs              tmpfs   defaults  0 0

2) mount the new ram file system "mount ramfs"

3) create a pipe with the command "mkfifo /mnt/ramfs/drm.raw"

4) attach the standard drm to the pipe: "drm --fileio /mnt/ramfs/drm.raw"

5) start drm.py with the correct frequency (see drm.py -help)


here follows the drm.py code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

        parser = OptionParser(option_class=eng_option)
        parser.add_option("-f", "--freq", type="eng_float", default=5990e3,

        parser.add_option("-g", "--gain", type="int", default=10,
                          help="set gain in dB (default is midpoint)")
        (options, args) = parser.parse_args()
