Two questions re VOLK armv7

GNU Radio
1

1: To get VOLK to compile correctly under gnuradio, I need to include
-march=armv7 in CFLAGS (volk/lib/CMakeLists.txt) which I do with a tool
chain file with volk git’d outside gnuradio.

    root@cubieboard4:/mnt/volk# rm CMakeCache.txt; cmake
    -DCMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE=cmake/Toolchains/armv7.cmake .

What is the best way to ensure -march=armv7 gets passed to cmake when
building gnuradio? Specify CFLAGS on the command line or the
environment?

GCC says:

root@cubieboard4:/mnt/volk# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

2: Three QA tests fail:

The following kernels failed QA:

volk_32fc_magnitude_32f
volk_32f_sqrt_32f
volk_32fc_s32fc_multiply_32fc

How do I go about fixing that? I included test output below.

Hi Dennis,

The 32fc_s32fc_multiply_32fc should be fixed as of about 12 hours ago.
Try
updating your repo.

The other two have nothing ‘wrong’ with them. We use a QA tolerance to
check results and it just happens that the tolerance is a bit too low on
ARM. Those operations are hard to get accurate and fast because they
involve a square root. NEON happens to have an inverse square root
estimate
which we use because it’s the fastest way to get a result. Unfortunately
whenever we have to use the inverse square root estimate from NEON the
accuracy drops a bit. In these cases since we actually care about the
sqiare root we use the NEON inverse estimate which is also not
particularly
accurate. The two together make any square root-like operations in VOLK
not
particularly accurate in NEON. On the plus side it’s probably accurate
enough for radio.

Thanks. I did a pull and recompiled. Works better. The test now says:

This is my ToolChain file, BTW:
