TV card SDR

GNU Radio

Hi,

For anyone interested, the CX2388x TV card chipset raw
ADC data driver for Linux kernel 2.6.18 is available
at

A GNU Radio Python FM demodulation code is provided
also to see how the ADC samples are converted and
processed offline.

Regards,
Hew

I wrote gr-cxadc which is a gnuradio wrapper to use the cxadc driver
from any gnuradio script, just like the gr-usrp does for the usrp.
So you don’t need to capture to file first anymore.
I also wrote some example scripts which work fine (including GUI).
I haven’t implemented tuning yet, because we need a mor general approach
for the different tuners out-there.
(Maybe use the way this is done in v4l drivers)

For now I just hooked the IF-output of my TVRX to the video-input of the
cx2388xx TV-tuner card.
(I then can tune the TVRX tuner using the usrp, but all the capturing is
done using the tv-card / cxadc)

You can find the files at:

modified to work with gr-cxadc)

gr-cxadc-0.1cvs.tar.gz The gnuradio code to use it from gnuradio

I also added it all to my section of the svn repository at:

Make sure you read cxadc_v3/readme and the page by Hew How Chee at
