Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Feasibility study of Porting GNU Radio on experimental processor

Hi

 

I want to port the GNU radio code base to TTA processor architecture. The processor is programmed on an FPGA.  The compiler for TTA is TCE which supports C and C++.

I have some initial questions about feasibility of such project. Is it possible to port GNU radio code to an embedded processor with no OS support? GNU Radio uses Boost Shared Library. Is Boost library portable and can it work without an Operating system??

GNU build system also do not seem to support TCE compiler (CFLAGS=tcecc gives error). Is there any project where GNU radio have been used without any OS support as standalone system??

 

Details of TCE compiler and TTA can be found at http://tce.cs.tut.fi/

 

Please reply me as soon as possible.

 

Thanks and Regards

I don't think anyone has done this, and I think it's going to be a really difficult problem, if it can be solved at all.

Look at how the Ettus team and Balister used OpenEmbedded for getting GNU Radio on the E100.
