**SDRangel** is an Open Source Qt5/OpenGL SDR and signal analyzer frontend to various hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
Although it keeps the same look and feel as its parent application **SDRangelove** it is a major redesign from it hitting more than half the lines of the code. Therefore the code base cannot be kept in sync anymore with its parent. It also contains enhancements and major differences. So it should now fly with its own wings and with its own name: **SDRangel**

BladeRF is supported through the libbladerf library that should be installed in your system for proper build of the software and operation support.
|
||||
|
||||
A complete new plugin has been written for the BladeRF that interfaces libbladeRF directly. Osmosdr/GnuRadio interface is not implemented correctly and has a lot of bugs as mentioned previously and was not reasonably usable with the BladeRF.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use your own location for libbladeRF install directory you need to specify library and include locations. Example with `opt/install/libbladerf` with the following defines on `cmake` command line:

============
|

<h1>Known Issues</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
- You will need to stop input before changing preset then start again
|
||||
- The message queuing model supports a n:1 connection to an object (on its input queue) and a 1:1 connection from an object (on its output queue). Assuming a different model can cause insidious disruptions.
|
||||
- As the objects input and output queues can be publicly accessed there is no strict control of which objects post messages on these queues. The correct assumption is that messages can be popped from the input queue only by its holder and that messages can be pushed on the output queue only by its holder.

<h2>New features, enhancements and fixes</h2>

- Added ppm correction for the LO of RTL-SDR. This uses the corresponding function in the librtlsdr interface (range -99..99 ppm)
|
||||
- Added a preset update button (the diskette with the yellow corner) to be able to save the current settings on an existing preset

- Major redesign:

<h2>Major redesign</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
- Make the DSP engine global static simplifying access to it
|

- Fixed startup initialization sequence. New initialization phase in DSP engine and new ready state

- Synchronous messaging class to push message to thread and wait for completion

- Message queuing and handling redesign
|

- Synchronous messaging class to push message to thread and wait for completion relieving the message queuing mechanism from this role
|
||||
- Message queuing and handling redesign. Still not completely satisfactory
|
||||
- Objects have their own input and output message queues
|
||||
- Dedicated message queue to communicate to the GUI for objects coupled with a GUI
|

- Many other little things...
