Feasibility study of Porting GNU Radio on experimental processor

GNU Radio
1

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

The first thing to look at is the list of the GNU Radio dependencies
(check
the wiki). All the ones related to the gnuradio core would need to be
ported. . .It probably will not be a trivial task.

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.
