Workshop Intermediate & Advanced GNURadio Workshops Workshop

Description

Embedded software defined radios require special considerations and a more complete understanding of the hardware and Linux subsystems to maximum the use of the radio. This Workshop will cover special considerations including lower level hardware access including registers, gpio control, debugfs parameter control, and limited memory availability. Other topics including make use of FPGAa and other accelerators will be included. In addition the workshop will also cover the use of the Yocto Project/ObenEmbedded for building a custom Linux distribution for optimal control of your software stack and reasons to use it. The ability to use a shared sstate cache to greatly improve build times for users will be demonstrated. GNU Radio and multiple OOTs will be built into the custom image, with compiler optimizations for the hardware included.
