srsRAN on PlutoSDR(一)

这是一个系列文章，记录将srsRAN部署在PlutoSDR上的过程

srsRAN简介

srsRAN是一个开源的基于SDR的4G和5G通信系统。

srsRAN的安装

srsRAN的安装需要前端的驱动，其我们先解决这部分

RF前端驱动

SopaySDR

SopaySDR可以用来驱动一些SDR，他提供了一些API和库。前端将不同类型的SDR打包，中间调用SopaySDR库，后端支持用gunradio或pothos与用户交互。相当于一个通用的中间件，让不同的平台可以统一基于SopaySDR来控制不用的SDR。

安装SopaySDR

添加包

#core framework and toolkits (required)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pothosware/framework

#support libraries for pothos (required)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pothosware/support

#supplies soapysdr, and drivers (optional)
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers

安装pothos和工具包

sudo apt-get install pothos-all

#install development files for python blocks
sudo apt-get install pothos-python-dev

安装SopaySDR包

#soapy sdr runtime and utilities
sudo apt-get install soapysdr-tools

#python3 language bindings
sudo apt-get install python3-soapysdr python3-numpy

检查安装是否成功

#print information about the install
PothosUtil --system-info
SoapySDRUtil --info

#run the design GUI -- there should also be a menu shortcut
PothosFlow

SopayPlutoSDR

SopayPlutoSDR就是上文说的前端之一，用于将PLUTO打包。

安装依赖

SopayPlutoSDR有三个依赖，分别是：libiio，libad9361，SoapySDR
libiio的安装：(the .deb file can be downloaded from https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio)
if you meet the problem about dependends, you can refer https://blog.csdn.net/qq_41566366/article/details/121244177

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev bison flex libcdk5-dev cmake
sudo apt-get install libaio1
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo dpkg -i Ubuntu-20.04_latest_master_libiio.deb

libad9361的安装
到https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libad9361-iio下载包，解压后进入文件夹，运行如下指令

cmake ./CMakeLists.txt
make
sudo make install

安装SopaySDR

git clone https://github.com/jocover/SoapyPlutoSDR
cd SoapyPlutoSDR
mkdir build
cd build
sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

srsRAN的依赖

至此RF前端完成，安装srsRAN的依赖：
