*NOTE: OsmoSDR has been phased out, the hardware is no longer available and the project is unmaintained*
h1. Welcome to [[OsmoSDR]]
[[OsmoSDR]] is a 100% Free Software based small form-factor inexpensive
SDR (Software Defined Radio) project.
If you are familiar with existing SDR receivers, then [[OsmoSDR]] can be thought
of something in between a "FunCube Dongle":http://tetra.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Funcube_Dongle (only 96kHz bandwidth) and a USRP (much more expensive).
For a very cheap SDR (with limited dynamic range), you can use the DVB-T USB stick using the RTL2832U chip, as documented in [[sdr:rtl-sdr]].
It consists of a USB-attached [[Hardware]], associated [[Firmware]]
as well as [[sdr:GrOsmoSDR]] gnuradio integration on the PC.
The first generation hardware (1.2 MS/s) was available to interested developers from http://shop.sysmocom.de/ *but is now sold out*
Hardware schematics and firmware source code are kept in a git repository on git.osmocom.org.
* clone the repository like this: @git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sdr.git@
