Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] LTE Cell Scanner support bladeRF now (Vritualmach

After LTE-Cell-Scanner supports rtlsdr hackRF, now it supports bladeRF!

Here is part of README:

An OpenCL accelerated TDD/FDD LTE Scanner (from rtlsdr/hackRF/bladeRF A/D samples to PDSCH output and RRC SIB messages decoded). By Jiao Xianjun (address@hidden). Tech blog: http://sdr-x.github.io

New features, make and Usages

0x00. basic method to build program

        mkdir build
        cd build
        cmake ../
        make

CellSearch and LTE-Tracker program will be generated in build/src. Use "--help" when invoke program to see all options

0x01. cmake to build for different hadware

        cmake ../ -DUSE_BLADERF=1   -- build for bladeRF
        cmake ../ -DUSE_HACKRF=1    -- build for hackRF
        cmake ../                   -- default for rtlsdr

...

I also test some cases to see if rtlsdr hackRF and bladeRF can work in virtual machine smoothly.

rtlsdr dongle and bladeRF work well in virtual machine for this LTE Cell Scanner, while hackrf_info always reports:

Found HackRF board.
hackrf_board_id_read() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000)

My configuration:

host OS: Win7

guest OS: Ubuntu14 (LTS)

virtual machine: VMware 10.0.4

mainboard: ASUS P9X79 PRO -LGA 2011/Intel X79 /ATX

CPU: i7 3930K -3.2GHz/LGA 2011/12M 120W

memory: Kingston HyperX 16G(4GBx4) DDR3 1600 KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX

graphic: GTX550TI 950MHz/4100MHz 1GB/192BIT DDR5 PCI-E

Hope above is useful for someone.
