REDHAWK in Ubuntu

The purpose of this build script is to download, compile and install REDHAWK SDR's core framework, IDE, and default SDRROOT (i.e., Waveforms and Components) on an Ubuntu -based host. The current tested Ubuntu version is 16.04.

Installation

You will need to have super user permissions to use this script.

Simply run:

# ./build.sh

Where the # signifies running as a super user.

Compiled Dependencies

It will compile and install the following dependencies:

• OmniEvents 2.7.1
• UHD 3.10.01
• libnmea 0.5.3

UHD Note: The USRP_UHD Device can work with some newer versions of UHD, however this is the most recent one we have tested. If you have a newer version, install the development libraries and comment out the call to install_uhd_ at the bottom of the build script.

Update for later Ubuntu and Redhawk Versions

This repo is 4 years old and works with older versions of Ubuntu and Redhawk. With CentOS moving to CentOS8 stream, it would be nice to have an alternative to CentOS to work on.
