I just figured out how to install the drivers from SDRPlay. Here’s my documentation for that part of this very complex puzzle…
Get the drivers from SDRPlay.
You have to do this on a Windows PC, can’t do it on the Rpi.
Go to sdrplay.com/downloads/
Click on the Raspberry Pi tab
Download the API/HW Driver – V2.13
After is is downloaded, copy it to a empty USB drive
Rename it from “SDRplay-RSP_API-RPi.2.13.1.run to sdrplaydrivers.run
Move the usb drive to your Raspberry pi
Log into the Raspberry pi
We need to mount the USB drive, so we can read it.
To do that, we need to know it’s name.
Type lsblk
In this case, the usb drive is sda1.
We need to make a directory for the files.
Sudo mkdir /media/usb
Then mount it using
Sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb
Lets view our files
Cd /media/usb
LS
Ok, now the fun part, we need to change the file, so we can run it.
Sudo chmod +x sdrplaydrivers.run
Finally, lets run it and install the drivers!
./sdrplaydrivers.run
I’ll write up documentation as I figure out how to get this to work… I’m not a linux guy at all. I had to look up all this on google to get this far.
