Re: GRC: Cannot find "RFNoC Fosphor" blocks

[Clint Scarborough]

I did muddle my response - I see all the blocks with UHD 4.4 and GR's main branch, as Jeff mentioned below.  However, with GR's maint-3.10 I did still see the RFNoC Fosphor block, but not the RFNoC Fosphor _display_ block.

Are you (or anyone else) using the RFNoC Fosphor display block with a responsive GUI?  Brian Padalino helped me out on this mailing list back in July, and he mentioned that the GUI wasn't responsive for him either.

The RFNoC Fosphor block is included in-tree on the main branch, but has not been backported to the maint-3.10 branch.

I'm not sure about UHD 4.3, but the blocks are available for me with UHD 4.4 and GR 3.10.

However, the RFNoC Fosphor display block bogs down the GUI so much that it's practically unusable.  I haven't been able to look into what's wrong, or whether I'm doing something wrong though.

Hi Johannes,
	
thank you for your reply. Where can I find this module? The gr-ettus module (https://github.com/EttusResearch/gr-ettus) is apparently not required for 3.10, on the site it says "Use gr-uhd directly".

That aside I'm installing GNU Radio 3.10.7 right now which should contain the RFNoC Fosphor blocks (as opposed to my current version 3.10.5).

Regards
Luca

Hi Luca,

you need to install the OOT module that includes the RFNoC version of
fosphor.

Cheers

 Hey everyone,

 I’m currently implementing a flowgraph that uses RFNoC by UHD / Ettus
 Research. In GNU Radio companion, I noticed that there are no blocks
 “RFNoC Fosphor Block” and “RFNoC Qt Fosphor Display” available (See this
 workshop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9ntwQie9vs
 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9ntwQie9vs> @ 22:13 for a
flowgraph
 that uses them). My basic software setup is:

 -OS: Debian 12

 -GNU Radio 3.10.5.1

 -UHD 4.3.0.0+ds1-5

 I was wondering why these blocks aren’t available or if I need to
 install an additional module in order to get them. The module gr-fosphor
 (https://projects.osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/Fosphor
 <https://projects.osmocom.org/projects/sdr/wiki/Fosphor>) just installs
 the “standard” version of Fosphor, **not** the FPGA / RFNoC
implementation.

 Thank you and regards

 Luca
