bladeRF 2.0 xA4 compatibility with gnuradio

Post by mbarbe »

I am trying to test my new BladeRF 2.0 xA4 with gnuradio 3.10.1 running running on Ubuntu 22, and libbladerf 0.2021.10-2.
All gnuradio and bladerf packages I have installed with 'apt install', except for gr-bladerf that I compiled from source.
My bladerf has installed the images:
bladeRF-cli version: 1.8.0-0.2021.10-2com
libbladeRF version: 2.4.1-0.2021.10-2
Firmware version: 2.4.0-git-a3d5c55f
FPGA version: 0.14.0 (configured by USB host)

I tried aquiring samples from channel RX1 with gnuradio modules bladerf-source, soapy-bladerf and osmocom,
but only got noise.
Is there a compatibility issue that may be preventing gnuradio from getting actual sampled RF signals?

Please give https://github.com/Nuand/gr-bladeRF a try. There is an example flowgraph included for testing gr-bladeRF's functionality in GRC.
