Re: Working on Windows
I have a Renesas Electronics USB3 host controller on an expansion card from Transcend model TS-PDU3 if that helps

Does it work with the bladeRF using Windows? If so, which version of Windows?orangepeel wrote:I have a Renesas Electronics USB3 host controller on an expansion card from Transcend model TS-PDU3 if that helps

Re: Working on Windows
Thanks. I don't have USB 3.0 on my Windows 7 systems, when my Windows 7 system was sick I bought a new i7-4770 which came with W8. I repaired the W7 system (the NVidia card was crashed the hardware), this is now an emergency standby system.orangepeel wrote:Windows 7
Anyway, next week I hope to assist the boys from nuand and get W8 working with the bladeRF. I don't think CPU will be an issue at the maximum sample rates but it is possible, if so I'll look at using OpenCL / CUDA for the FFT.

Re: Working on Windows
In Linux CPU is definitely not an issue (i5 with gqrx and 30 MS/s has still some room to the top), so why should this differ under Windows?

It depends on what you're doing - the above statement is rather vague.dk5ras wrote:In Linux CPU is definitely not an issue (i5 with gqrx and 30 MS/s has still some room to the top), so why should this differ under Windows?

Re: Working on Windows
I haven't used your program quite yet but it looks very pretty.
Looking forward to having a nice SDR program support this hardware. Keep up the good work!

I'm getting there - the structure of the bladeRF is different to the other SDR radios I have supported, spending time ironing out issues.syntroniks wrote:I haven't used your program quite yet but it looks very pretty.

Re: Working on Windows
I sent you a PM, and I am still willing to commit to testing. Let me know, and I can setup and test whichever Windows version you wish tested.SDR-Radio.com wrote:Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the offer, I don't need testers at the moment, I'll post info here when I'm ready.

I now have the bladeRF working well (IMO) on Windows, this evening it'll be tested by another user then made available for others as soon as he's happy. I am using the latest firmware which keeps the FPGA code somewhere inside the USB controller (that FX3 thingy) so there's no need to do anything when powering up.
Hasta la vista, baby.

Re: Working on Windows
Will it also work with manually loaded firmware, when I build some script for startup? The reason is that with latest FW my BladeRF does not work any more in my Linux VM...

It's a Windows console which expects correct firmware - that's it. I honestly don't know anything about scripts and don't have any special support for them.

Re: Working on Windows
Well it's running at 30MHz on the tester's computer, I'm uploading a kit which should run at 38.4 MHz sample rate (had to fix a buggy).orangepeel wrote:Great stuff. Cant wait to give it a try -- keep us updated
You'll need some decent horsepower for this but it's worth it.
