Linking PRIMO with gps-sdr

Hello,

just finished adapting the open-source project www.gps-sdr.com to use PRIMO. On our Ubuntu Karmic 32bit laptop runs nicely but still uses a lot of resources (especially the GUI). The effect is nevertheless outstanding!

I really have to congratulate with Gregory Heckler and his colleagues for the fantastic job they have done so far. Every PRIMO user can now also enjoy their open-source receiver.

Thank you guys,
Michele


P.S. On their project website you should be able to find the archive with a preliminary snapshot of the code. Compile and run the GUI with ./gps-gse and the receiver with sudo ./gps-sdr -primo. I had no time to test it with the USRP 'cause we only have tweaked ones in the lab.. just be aware I tuned the scaling in acquisition and correlators.

Galileo E5AltBOC tracking in slow motion

Hello everyone,

not grabbed with our "TUNE" boards (the plot would not be as detailed at 61.44Msps) but with our next one I did not write about yet (samples at about 440Msps), here is a basic E5AltBOC pilot signal tracking:

These animations are obtained using octave and ffmpeg... at 40x slower motion :)

More to come soon,
Michele
