That link didn't work for me;
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oscimp/PlutoSDR/master/doc/gnuradio_on_RPi_English.pdf
does.


Regardless, this is a great resource and I thank you.  I was not
familiar with the Buildroot system; what a great project.  I see my
other embedded board, the ODroid C2, is also supported.  Thanks so much
for putting the document together.


I have used the RPi {3,4} and the ODroid C2 in both headless and desktop
modes; these boards do a decent job in terms of a desktop experience if
you think of them as 'instruments with a display' instead of
general-purpose desktops (although the RPi 4 and the C2 are capable
enough for lower-range desktop duties).  I could see a
touchscreen-attached RPi4 or C2 driving an antenna control system with
GNUradio providing a GUI graph display as well as motion controls for
antenna operations; RPi4/ODroid C2 and the like seem ideal platforms for
such use.  I'm thinking for projects for groups such as the Amateur-DSN,
SARA, and other like-minded folks.
