GNU Radio on Raspberry Pi Model 2?

GNU Radio
1

What’s the best way to get GNU Radio working on the new Raspberry Pi 2?
I
have tried a straight from source compile and just installing the
package.
Both methods ended up not being able to see my FunCube Dongle Pro+ due
to
ALSA issues. I am not sufficiently experienced with ALSA to fix it
myself.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I have no experience with these devices, but I would love to see someone
create some instructions for cross-compiling of the rpi2. The turnaround
time to build and fix issues like this would make that platform a lot
more
usable.

Well, I can share my experience but I don’t have detailed notes. I can
try
it again and provide notes if that’s what’s needed.

I’ll work on that over the next few days.

This will get you started on a build that understands how to build
software for the Pi2 that isn’t re-using an armv6 build.

There is a complete GNURadio package in the Raspberry Pi2 Debian Jessie
repository which works fine (at least with my DVB-T stick). Have a look
at the DesignSpark Blog
(http://www.rs-online.com/designspark/electronics/deu/blog/taking-the-raspberry-pi-2-for-a-test-drive-with-gnu-radio-2)
for more information.
