Hello all I am installing GNUradio in two boards, one is Odroid XU3, with Ubuntu 14.04 system. The other one is Hummingboard i2ex with Debian Jessie system. I build from source with version 3.7.8 in git. Both boards have same issue when I make test. $ make test Running tests… Test project /home/gnuradio/build Start 1: qa\_volk\_test\_all 1/1 Test #1: qa\_volk\_test\_all …\*\*\*Failed 5.11 sec 0% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 1 Total Test time (real) = 5.12 sec The following tests FAILED: 1 - qa\_volk\_test\_all (Failed) Errors while running CTest make: \*\*\* [test] Error 8 I run ctest -V \_R qa\_volk\_test\_all, I attached the output in the ctest file Thank you so much.

Hi Shaun, This is the first I’ve seen something like this in a while. It’s definitely memory corruption in our QA. Can you provide some information on how you are building VOLK? Are you cross-compiling or native? What cmake flags are you providing? What compiler are you using? Is your OS soft-float or hard-float? If you just want to get rid of this problem try removing orc and rebuilding VOLK. -Nathan PS, in the future can you send text through a pasting service like [fpaste.com](http://fpaste.com)? I’m a little uneasy about downloading files from weird websites like [nabble.com](http://nabble.com).

Hello Nathan Can you provide some information on how you are building VOLK? I download the VOLK file from the git, cause the master of gnuradio does not have volk included. [GitHub - gnuradio/volk: The Vector Optimized Library of Kernels](https://github.com/gnuradio/volk) And then I just follow the instruction in the building website $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake …/ $ make && make test $ sudo make install Are you cross-compiling or native? I am building it native. I actually don’t know how to cross compile this. If you can give me a website to learn, that would be awesome. What cmake flags are you providing? I used the cmake from [https://gnuradio.org/redmine/issues/692](https://gnuradio.org/redmine/issues/692) if I just use cmake, building will fail in the volk test\_all step. Here is my cmake command for the pi: @ cmake -Dhave\_mfpu\_neon=0 -DCMAKE\_CXX\_FLAGS:STRING=“-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard” -DCMAKE\_C\_FLAGS:STRING=“-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard” …/ But it also works with just: @cmake -Dhave\_mfpu\_neon=0 …/ What compiler are you using? I don’t know the version of my compiler. I use debian jessie in Hummingboard, you probably know which version it is. And I use the image from this website for Odroid. [http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:xu3\_release\_linux\_ubuntu](http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:xu3_release_linux_ubuntu) Is your OS soft-float or hard-float? I don’t think I can answer this question. Sorry Could you please tell me how to remove ORC. I googled ORC, the only result I get is from this website, [https://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/repository/revisions/05161c9f48acf448d31abd88a5378608213e3574](https://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/repository/revisions/05161c9f48acf448d31abd88a5378608213e3574) where is ORC? I cannot find ORC file in my VOLK. I need more details for how to remove ORC. I really appreciate your help! Shaun On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 5:52 PM, West, Nathan [via GnuRadio] \< ---

For example, The ODROID-XU3 uses a cortex-a7 processor which uses an armv7 architecture, but you are telling your compiler that your architecture is armv6 (you copied instructions intended for a raspberry pi). You also tell it that you are targetting a hard-float ABI; you need to make sure that is actually the case or you will get some wrong results and potentially segfaults (it’s unpredictable what will happen, but it will only fail at runtime). This explains why your log has no NEON protokernels running. The -Dhave\_mfpu\_neon=0 line is just telling VOLK that you have no NEON unit, which you probably don’t want and has little influence on ORC. Assuming you installed orc with your package manager, just remove it with your package manager. If you’re on a debian based system that’s ‘apt-get remove orc’, or whatever the orc package(s) are called. -Nathan
