GNU Radio – the Free and Open Software Radio Ecosystem

Last update: Jan 06, 2023

Overview

GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available, low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic, and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.

Please visit the GNU Radio website at https://www.gnuradio.org/ and the wiki at https://wiki.gnuradio.org/. Bugs and feature requests are tracked on GitHub's Issue Tracker. If you have questions about GNU Radio, please search the discuss-gnuradio mailing list archive, as many questions have already been asked and answered. Please also subscribe to the mailing list and post your new questions there.

How to Install GNU Radio

Prebuilt Binaries

The recommended way to install GNU Radio on most platforms is using available binary package distributions.

The following command is for Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives. It will install Release 3.7 with Python2.

sudo apt install gnuradio

For other operating systems, see Installing from Binaries

PyBOMBS

PyBOMBS is good at building GNU Radio, UHD, and various Out of Tree (OOT) modules from source and then installing into a specified user directory rather than in the system files. PyBOMBS detects the user's Operating System and loads all of the prerequisites in the first stage of the build.

For a quick start, open a terminal window and enter the following commands. This will install Release 3.8 with Python3.

sudo -H pip3 install PyBOMBS
pybombs auto-config
pybombs recipes add-defaults
pybombs prefix init ~/gnuradio -R gnuradio-default

Wait. The terminal will show the progress.

To run GNU Radio Companion, enter:

    pybombs run gnuradio-companion

Complete PyBOMBS instructions are in the PyBOMBS README.

From Source

Complete instructions for building Gnuradio from source code are detailed in Installing GR From Source.

Tags for the "next" branch

We're planning on dropping Qt 4 from Homebrew soon, so I'm wondering if it would be possible to get some tags on a regular basis for the next branch so that we can build gnuradio with Qt 5 without "inventing" releases out of thin air by unilaterally selecting git commit revisions from next.

log4cpp-related linking error with OOT-packages when GNURadio was built with log4cpp

I've just built GNURadio 3.7.10.1 with log4cpp support but now gr-osmosdr fails to compile because of "undefined reference to log4cpp:Appender..." errors since it does not have the information to also link against log4cpp.

Here's the full buildlog from gr-osmosdr: https://blackhole.pmtu.de/.dump/gr-osmosdr-buildlog-fail.txt

I actually worked around by adding log4cpp to the linker flags manually but it still does not feel like the proper way to address this problem... https://blackhole.pmtu.de/.dump/gr-osmosdr-fix-log4cpp-linking-error.diff

Conditionally adding the lib4cpp linking flags to gnuradio-runtime.pc could be a solution.

GNUradio was build in a clean chroot-environment. CMake automatically detected log4cpp and set ENABLE_GR_LOG to ON.

Here's a the GNURadio buildlog: https://blackhole.pmtu.de/.dump/gnuradio-buildlog-log4cpp.txt

libgnuradio-runtime.so is linked to liblog4cpp.so and so should all programs that make use of this library ... https://blackhole.pmtu.de/.dump/ldd_libgnuradio-runtime_so.txt

can and will be adapted to 3.8.

@noc0lour did deb builds, I think, and we have Maitland, who is generally pretty awesome.

I have specs that have become dated from the next merge period.

For Gentoo, we need to reach out to the maintainer, whom we know (whose IRC handle I just can't remember right now).

QT GUI Chooser causing problems in GNU Radio v3.8.2

Adding the QT GUI Chooser block to a simple working scheme causes a failure to RUN and generates error code.

Environment is new GNU Radio v3.8.2 installation on Linux Mint 20 with Python 3.8.5. Working schematic is a Signal Source into a QT GUI Sink via a Throttle. A QT GUI Range slider is used to control the frequency - all works fine.

Simple addition of adding the (unconfigured) Chooser to the schematic causes the issue. Correctly configuring the Chooser for the intended operation does not remove the problem.

The error starts with - Generate Error: (NameError("'i' is not defined")......

Two files attached - screen snapshot of the schematic and a text file of the error.

zeromq: add port getter for streaming zmq blocks
Add a port getter/accessor that parses the zmq endpoint. If it is tcp, then parse out the port and return as an integer. New QA tests

the port accessor with a known port

the loopback test for pubsub that already exists, but uses an ephermeral port for the sink that is read back for the source to attach to

Current issue that I have with this is that it requires some string parsing and that the message blocks don't inherit from base_{source,sink}_impl so they don't get the feature. Also, we might want to make this more generic as an endpoint() accessor and force users of it to parse the port on their own. That's a design choice I don't have strong feelings on since I only care about the port and this makes it easier for me although it is less generic and potentially more error prone due to string parsing.

Add new in-tree module gr-pdu and move existing pdu functionality out of gr-blocks
The gr-pdu in tree module is intended to house PDU processing blocks, and enable expansion of GNU Radio's PDU API without cluttering the catch-all gr-blocks. This commit builds and passes QA though there may be some minor doxygen kinks to work out.

Specifically, this PR moves the following items from gr-blocks to gr-pdu:

pdu (noblock)

pdu_filter block

pdu_remove block

pdu_set block

pdu_to_tagged_stream block

random_pdu block

socket_pdu block

stream_pdu_base (noblock)

tagged_stream_to_pdu block

tcp_connection (noblock)

tuntap_pdu block

And adds the following blocks from gr-pdu_utils to gr-pdu:

pdu_frequency_modulator_fc (formerly pdu_gmsk_fc, but this takes an arbitrary filter as an input and was poorly named originally)

pdu_split

This commit also removes the gr::blocks::pdu namespace and incorporates this directly into gr::pdu.

The intention is to get this merged so that it is not waiting and becoming stale while I go through and add the rest of the blocks that are in GREP-0020 from the gr-pdu_utils OOT. This PR breaks the gr-blocks API, but this seems like a reasonable way to go about this.

This is a follow-up PR to #4022, and is now intended to be mergeable whenever 3.10 is stable. There is some more discussion of the motivation there.

The GREP this begins addressing is here.

Frequency Xlating FIR Filter block is not phase-continuous

The Frequency Xltating FIR Filter block is not phase-continuous when the frequency is updated. The prototypical use case where this causes problems is when it's used to correct the the Doppler shift of a PSK signal.

The cause is that freq_xlating_fir_filter_impl::build_composite_fir() doesn't take into account the current phase of the rotator d_r when rebuilding the taps of the FIR filter after a frequency change. I think that it can be fixed by multiplyin the taps by a suitable complex exponential that depends on the phase of d_r (I didn't think of the details, but I think it's easy to write the formula).

The rotator doesn't have a method to get its current phase. We could do d_r.rotate(gr_complex(1.0, 0.0)), and then d_r.set_phase() with what we get (since calling rotate() increases the phase, which we don't want to do here). However, it seems much cleaner to add a get_phase() method to the rotator.

I'll probably send a PR with this in a few days/weeks, unless someone says here that they want to do it themselves.

grc: Un-hide option_attributes from rest of parameters

Following the discussion from https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues/1912 and this gist.

This fixes the problem with a lot of blocks having some of their parameters handled as raw while the parameter's dtype is in fact dependent on the block's chosen type. This happened because the namespace didn't contain the option_attributes when evaluating the block.

I've given this fix its own PR because I'm only 90% sure this doesn't break anything.

Custom Python Block : self.set_msg_handler accept python lamda functions to allow hooking

Feature Description

Let's say I want to write a custom python block that has a configurable number of message input ports.

I try to do this with code in the init function like this:

for i in range(N_ports): hook = lambda x: self.original_handler(x, extra_args) port_name = "input_"+str(i) self.set_msg_handler(pmt.intern(port_name),hook)

I get a runtime error "gnuradio.gr.gr_python_block_gateway" object has no attribute "<lambda> ".

Since this is a runtime error, it may be impossible in the current framework with how object memory is handled, but it would be cool if you could make it happen.

Maybe there is already another way to have dynamically configurable ports using custom python blocks?

grc: snippets before init is called
Description

There are situations where snippets need to be inserted before block initialization, such as when a block constructor makes contact with an external server, it might be handy to initialize the server or check whether it is ready prior to calling the flowgraph init function that calls the block constructor

The problem with the current construct is snippets can only be injected after the flowgraph is initialized, since they use self as a reference to the flowgraph object. There is probably a better way to do this but the easy solution is to pass None as what will become self, and snippets that are inserted before main are not able to make calls to self

Notes:

Main Before Init is placed second on the list, so Main After Init is the default

I'm wondering if it would be more useful to have the injection point inside the top_block.__init__ after variables are instantiated, then the snippet would have access to variables

fec: fix tagged decoder frame size for CC_TERMINATED
Description

This fixes a bug in the calculation of the frame size used by the tagged decoder that affects the CC decoder in terminated mode.

Currently, tagged_decoder calls the set_frame_size() method of the decoder with a size computed as the input size multiplied by the rate.

In the cc_decoder, the frame_size parameter of the set_frame_size() method is used to calculate and set d_veclen. The value of d_veclen is used to determine how many forward steps (butterflies) the Viterbi algorithm should be run. The number of input items that are read in d_veclen forward steps is d_veclen * d_rate (note that d_rate is actually the inverse of the rate; typically, d_rate == 2). Therefore, the size of the input buffer should be as large as this value, and in most cases it should be equal, because we want the cc_decoder to look at all the provided input.

The d_veclen variable is related to d_frame_size, which indicates how many output bits are produced by the decoder. The value of d_frame_size is equal to the parameter of set_frame_size() in all cases except in terminated mode with byte padding, in which case the byte padding is subtracted when computing d_frame_size. The value of d_veclen is equal to d_frame_size + d_k - 1 in terminated and streaming modes, and to d_frame_size in truncated mode.

The problem with the current code is that in tagged_decoder the set_frame_size() method is called with ninput_items[0] * rate. In the streaming and terminated modes this will cause d_veclen to be too large. The forward steps (butterflies) of the Viterbi algorithm will read past the end of the input buffer. This is undefined behaviour and can cause some bit errors at the end of the decoded codeword (the effect of reading past the end of the buffer is essentially extending the codeword with 12 symbols of garbage).

This problem does not happen in the async_decoder because there is some code that computes a "diff", which works out to be

d_k - 1 + d_padding * rate()

in terminated mode and 0 in all other cases. The diff is subtracted from the frame size. This subtraction gives the correct d_veclen calculation, so that the butterflies do not read past the input end.

This commit fixes the tagged_decoder when used with the terminated CC decoder by adding the same code as in the async_decoder to calculate and subtract this "diff" value.

Some caveats:

This commit changes the size of the output packets of tagged_decoder when used with a terminated CC decoder. Formerly, the output packets were 6 bits longer, as if the tail bits were included in the output. However, having these 6 extra bits was just an artifact of looking 12 symbols past the end of the input. The cc_decoder_impl::chainback_viterbi() function is not prepared to extract tail bits in the terminated case. This chainback extracts bits "as they exit the shift register on the right", so tail bits cannot be extracted, because they "never exit the shift register". (Here I have in mind the usual depiction of a convolutional encoder, where input bits are shifted from left to right into a shift register).

The CC_TRUNCATED case in cc_decoder_impl::generic_work() has some additional code to extract additional bits which haven't "exited the shift register" yet, because it is mandatory to extract them in this case (they are the last 6 bits of the message).

It think there is no good use case for attempting to extract the tail bits in the terminated case, so this modification seems a good way forward. The new behaviour also matches that of async_decoder, which does not output tail bits.

However, this breaks tag propagation of the tagged_decoder when used with the terminated CC decoder, because the block calls set_relative_rate() with the nominal rate (1/2), which is slightly different from the true rate once we take into account the fact that tail bits are dropped. This could be fixed by propagating tags manually in the work() function.

The streaming mode is still broken, both when used with the async_decoder and with the tagged_decoder. Since for the streaming case diff is 0 but d_veclen includes the term d_k - 1, the streaming mode reads past the input buffer. It isn't really possible to run the streaming mode properly with the async_decoder or tagged_decoder (it should be run with the decoder_impl.cc), because the streaming mode requires history (some overlapping input items between consecutive calls), which is not available with the async_decoder or tagged_decoder.

The code copied from async_decoder has a "watch out" comment stating that it might be over-specializing for the CC decoder in terminated mode. It is true that this code seems specially crafted to cover this very specific case, but as far as I have been able to think, it does not affect negatively any other cases (taking into account other modes of the CC decoder and other FEC decoders).

I'm specially interested in feedback regarding point 1 above. If we think that this is a good way forward, then I can implement the manual tag propagation. If we think we don't want to change the output size and still have the 6 tail bits in the output, a different approach would be needed to fix the bug.

Which blocks/areas does this affect?

v3.9.8.0(Sep 16, 2022)
GNU Radio Release v3.9.8.0

[3.9.8.0] - 2022-09-16

This is last quarterly release of GNU Radio 3.9. Version 3.10 is mostly compatible with 3.9, so we recommend that all users of 3.9 migrate to 3.10 when able.

Changed

Project Scope

Replace get_initial_sptr() calls with make_block_sptr() calls. There were a number of places the incorrect function was being used.

GRC

Add xfce4-terminal and urxvt to the list of terminal emulators discovered during the build process.

Suppress GUI hint errors that were being shown in the terminal window.

Use integers for screenshot size (floats were causing Cairo errors).

gr-blocks

Correct calculation of items_remaining in File Source, which allows seek() to work correctly.

Changed

Project Scope

Clayton Smith continues the effort to replace Boost usage with modern C++ equivalents. In a related effort, he has continued the logging modernization started by Marcus Müller. In his spare time, he has tackled some tricky, intermittent CI failures, some of which turned out to be real bugs. Much of this work is invisible to end users, but is extremely useful in making GNU Radio more reliable and maintainable. Special thanks are due to Clayton for a lot of hard work this cycle.

Use exceptions instead of exit() in several places.

Fixed a variety of Python deprecation warnings.

Packager note: jsonschema is required for the JSON Config and YAML Config blocks. Those blocks will be disabled if jsonschema is not found.

gnuradio-runtime

Correct size/usage for single-mapped buffers (part of the new Custom Buffers feature).

Correct buffer size allocation. This was actually the single change in v3.10.1.1, which did not get its own CHANGELOG entry.

GRC

Improve discovery of xterm and related programs.

Save generated hierarchical block code to the block library instead of the directory containing the current GRC flowgraph.

New JSON Config and YAML Config blocks that load configuration variables from files at runtime. Those variables may then be used in block parameters.

Store the GNU Radio version in flowgraph metadata when saving.

Minor change in Python evaluation code to allow affinity, minoutbuf and maxoutbuf to be adjusted via script parameters.

Build system and packaging

Require C++-17 for gnuradio-runtime and code compiled against it (via cmake flags).

Add pythonschema to build- and run-time dependencies.

gr-blocks

Add exponential distribution to Message Strobe Random block's delay selection.

Quiet down debug messages in File Sink.

Skip alignment check in File Source when the input file is not seekable (e.g., it is a pipe).

gr-filter

Fix crash in Rational Resampler logging

gr-digital

Add generic CRC blocks: CRC Append and CRC Check.

gr-qtgui

Improve text/background color on Range widget.

Digital Number Control emits message with new, instead of previous, value.

Message Edit Box sends message only when return is pressed, rather than whenever focus is lost.

Vector Sink allows legend to be disabled.

Type error fixes (Python 3.10 is stricter about int casting).

gr-trellis

Provide Python bindings for PCCC Encoder and Viterbi Combo.

gr-vocoder

Add C++ generation support to gr-vocoder

Code generation tools

Support strongly-typed enums in Python bindings

v3.10.0.0(Jan 14, 2022)

It is with much excitement (and after only 4 RCs!!) that we release the next step forward for GNU Radio - 3.10.0.0!

Not only does this release bring in some extremely useful new modules (gr-iio, gr-pdu, and arguably gr-soapy thought that thankfully made it also into recent 3.9 maintenance releases), but also sets a path forward for using GNU Radio in heterogeneous compute environments by providing "custom buffers" for more efficiently interacting with accelerators (GPUS, FPGAs, TPUs, etc.).

We have been fortunate this year to have extremely active backporting and consistent maintenance releases from co-maintainter Jeff Long - so many of the fixes and smaller features (and larger ones) have already seen the light of day in the 3.9.x.x and even 3.8.x.x releases. Here are some highlights of the 3.10 release:

gr-pdu

PDUs (protocol data units) in GNU Radio are a special type of PMT that have a dictionary and a uniform vector type representing a burst of data with some metadata. Up to this point, support of pdus has been scattered throughout the codebase with minimal supporting the way of handling this type of data consistently. Fortunately, Jacob Gilbert has been able to upstream much of the amazing work from himself and the team at Sandia National Labs which brings in-tree a suite of tools for manipulating these data objects (see https://github.com/sandialabs/gr-pdu_utils). Also, many of the previous PDU processing blocks that existed in other in-tree modules have been migrated to this module, so there has been some block re-arrangement. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT60hVVte48 for more detailed information

gr-iio

IIO is the industrial I/O framework that provides an industry standard method for communicating with a wide-range of devices. Analog Devices has supported out of tree a gr-iio module that brings this capability into GNU Radio and now upstreamed this module so support for devices like the PlutoSDR are available out of the box. Special thanks here to Adam Horden, Dave Winter, Volker Shroer for bringing this in-tree and working through many of the complexities. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKbollW6wg for a more technical description of IIO and gr-iio.

Custom Buffers Support

NOTE: this is an advanced "experimental" feature that if not actively employed will not affect normal GNU Radio usage.
David Sorber from Black Lynx has introduced a feature that enables streamlined data movement between GNU Radio blocks and hardware accelerators. By creating a "custom buffer" class (or using one that is provided by someone else), blocks can be made to abstract the data movement behind the scenes so that when the work function is reached, data already exists in the device memory.
Let me give a quick example - previously if you wanted to write a GPU accelerated block with CUDA, you would have to get into the work function, move the data from the GNU Radio circular buffers to GPU device memory, execute the CUDA kernels, then move the data back to GR buffers. Now that data movement is done behind the scenes if the block is set up right so that when the work function is hit, the data is in GPU device memory and will get transferred back to CPU memory behind the scenes as well. This allows back to back HW accelerated blocks to not have to ingress/egress in and out of GR memory unnecessarily. Also, the single mapped buffer abstraction brings huge performance benefits as can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO1zMXowezg for a much better description, and for all the technical details: https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Custom_Buffers For examples of this in action, please see the gr-cuda repository here: https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-cuda - which contains the CUDA custom buffers (that can be re-used in your OOT) and some example blocks.

Logging Infrastructure

Log4CPP has previously been our logging backend library, but has become a troublesome dependency. A huge thanks to Marcus Müller for fixing all of this up, replacing Log4CPP with spdlog - a more modern logging library, and also for his ongoing architectural leadership on this project. The move to spdlog also opens up the door for more modern logging statements that don't rely on Boost.format, and libfmt (which is now also a dependency) can be used for general string manipulation as well. All the previous methods and macros still exist (except for the log4cpp specific ones), but there is now new capability to log in a more convenient way using the libfmt statements.
Previous: GR_LOG_INFO(this->d_logger, boost::format("this happened: %d") % code) New: this->d_logger->info("this happened {:d}", code)

v3.9.4.0(Oct 31, 2021)
Release v3.9.4.0 is appearing a little early because of a couple of regressions in v3.9.3.0. While we were at it, we pulled in a few more helpful commits from the master branch.

This is an API compatible update to GNU Radio 3.9. Code written for 3.9.X versions should compile and link without modification. The ABI is not guaranteed to be compatible, so a rebuild of OOT modules may be necessary.

Changes

Regressions Fixes

Remove #include <filesystem> (C++17 feature) from one file

Restore pyqwidget() in gr-qtgui

GRC

GRC now runs on Fedora 35 ... Gtk initialization checks were too strict

Add keyboard shortcuts for zoom

Account for scale factor when computing drawing area size

Use font size from config for block comments

Change type aliasing to allow interleaved short/byte to be connected to vectors of short/byte. Stricter type checking was added previously and caused some blocks to be unconnectable when using these types.

Required params no longer default to 0 when left empty. This caused hard-to-find errors. Older flowgraphs that have empty required fields will need to be fixed.

Tooltips fixed for categories and modules

gr-runtime

PMT uses the VOLK allocator for vectors

get_tags_in_window() Python wrapper calls the correct function

Add --pybind option to gnuradio-config-info to get PyBind11 version

gr-blocks

Add example for XMLRPC

Add a unit test for Message Strobe

Fix C++ support for Unpacked to Packed

gr-channels

RNG seeds are initialized correctly

gr-digital

Fix yml file for Header/Payload Demux

gr-network

Suppress warning in tuntap

gr-qtgui

Remove unusable int type in Number Sink yml

Use no_quotes() function in several yml files

modtool

Hashes can be fixed using modtool using --update-hash-only

Use tempfile() instead of /tmp in bindtool and modtool

Use static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast in templates

Correct broken Python general block template

Build system

Better check for Boost version

Determine the Python prefix more reliably

Use GR-specified compiler standard (C++14) in gr-soapy, instead of the SoapySDR standard (C++11)

GrPython.cmake is compatible with older cmake

Documentation

Man pages are in-tree

Repair many examples, especially in gr-digital

Allow UTF-8 in pydoc templates

CI

Execute make install during test

Add Ubuntu 18.04 test target

v3.9.3.0(Sep 30, 2021)
This is an API compatible update to GNU Radio 3.9. Code written for 3.9.X versions should compile and link without modification. The ABI is not guaranteed to be compatible, so a rebuild of OOT modules may be necessary.

Changes

General

Many cleanups and some C++ modernization changes

Replace Boost with stdc++ equivalents (ongoing effort)

Logging cleanup and performance improvements (ongoing effort)

Cleanup of many unused includes

Various block yaml cleanups and repairs

Allow error messages to be copied to clipboard

Update disabled blocks if they depend on others

gnuradio-runtime

Deprecate tag_checker class (will be removed in 3.10)

Detect and follow symbolic links for installation prefix in gr::prefix()

Python wrapping: replace pyqwidget() with qwidget() - this is not intended to be a visible fix, but is mentioned here in case it causes trouble for anyone

C++ generation

add double quotes to cpp_opts keys with colons

position windows correctly depending on gui_hint

use option attributes to generate enums

use the cpp enums for wintype and trigger_type

gr-uhd

Fix input filename in freq hopping examples
