Today we try to get SDR++ working with an RTL-SDR on a Raspberry Pi. There is always a plan B though, so come along and join in on the shenanigans!

Get SDR++ here: https://www.sdrpp.org/
Get a Raspberry Pi Here: https://rpilocator.com/

👉 Installing RTL-SDR Drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y joe build-essential cmake git libfftw3-dev libglfw3-dev libglew-dev libvolk2-dev libzstd-dev libsoapysdr-dev libairspyhf-dev libairspy-dev libiio-dev libad9361-dev librtaudio-dev libhackrf-dev librtlsdr-dev libbladerf-dev liblimesuite-dev p7zip-full wget libusb-1.0-0-dev

cd
mkdir workspace
cd workspace
git clone git://osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
cd rtl-sdr/
mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
make -j 4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
sudo cp ../rtl-sdr.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
cd /etc/modprobe.d
sudo joe blacklist-rtl.conf
type:
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist rtl2830
blacklist rtl2832
blacklist dvb-t
hit CTRL-K
hit CTRL-X

To verify file:
sudo cat blacklist-rtl.conf

Plug in dongle and reboot Pi!

To test the dongle:
rtl_test -t

The system should see the one RTL-SDR dongle, and there should be no errors

👉 Installing SDR++
cd ~/workspace
git clone https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus
cd SDRPlusPlus
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DOPT_BUILD_AIRSPY_SOURCE=OFF -DOPT_BUILD_AIRSPYHF_SOURCE=OFF -DOPT_BUILD_HACKRF_SOURCE=OFF -DOPT_BUILD_PLUTOSDR_SOURCE=OFF -DOPT_BUILD_SOAPY_SOURCE=OFF
make -j 4
sudo make install

find SDR++ in your window manager's app menu and run it. Configure it for the RTL-SDR on the left side menu, connect your antenna and press the play button above - ENJOY!
