Re: Reminder: SigMF Workshop this Thursday Noon Eastern

[Derek Kozel]

Alex, yes the workshop will be recorded and posted onto the YouTube channel. It wasn't feasible to record the in-person one during the GNU Radio Conference so this virtual one was arranged to be available to a wider audience. Happily this also means the new workshop can cover the as-released 1.0.0 spec.

Cinaed, the spec and libsigmf library have been updated to the 1.0.0 version but work is continuing to update the gr-sigmf module. Once that update has happened we'll be upstreaming it for inclusion in the GNU Radio core, probably in an update to the 3.10 release series or possibly in 3.11 depending on when the work is complete. I don't think the workshop is going to substantially dive into using gr-sigmf hands on but focus on the overall file format and features available in it.

gr-sigmf has been developed by SkySafe and lives under their org's account.

Hi Derek - I have  a question regarding the installation of gr-sigmf.

Prior to installing gr-sigmf, I installed SigMF-0.0.2. I just did a pull and the version didn't change.

Things appears to be working - I just did a simple test using the source/sink grc file

I don't remember where I downloaded it from - I think it was a gnuradio repo.

Where should I be downloading SigMF from?

Or is it even necessary for gr-sigmf?

Hi folks,

The Signal Metadata Format (SigMF) has seen specification improvement, greater adoption, and will likely continue to see growth over the coming year including greater integration into GNU Radio. With the version 1.0 release finally here, there has never been a better time to learn more about what SigMF is, how it can help with RF data/metadata management, and where the specification is going. Join the SigMF development team for a workshop tomorrow on the future of the core SigMF specification, development tools, and integration with GNU Radio.

Thursday January 13th at Noon Eastern US

Join via Zoom
Meeting ID: 861 8214 0744

Additional information about the specification can be found at sigmf.org. For discussions or questions please join the #sigmf:gnuradio.org room on the Matrix chat server.

At the GNU Radio Conference in 2021 Ben Hilburn, Jacob Gilbert, and Kyle Logue presented the state of work in-progress for the 1.0.0 specification release which was finalized on January 7th, 2022. Their talk can be viewed on YouTube.
