The RTL-SDR and the Pinebook Pro
05-27-2020, 07:04 PM
Since there is discussion of including an RTL-SDR module option in the PineTab, I've had some renewed excitement over the possibilities of doing SDR stuff on Pine devices. However, I still can't seem to get my RTL-SDR dongle to work on my Pinebook Pro. It works fine on my other computers, and I have little reason to believe that it's not receiving enough power, but even so, all I can ever get it to do is produce what appears to be a repeating loop of the first few samples it collects whenever I try to use it.
Is this a fluke that's down to some issue with my specific units (either the SDR or the Pinebook Pro), or have others had this problem as well? I'm doing my best to debug it, but the answer is still eluding me.
How about you? Have you tried using an RTL-SDR on the Pinebook Pro (or the regular Pinebook, for that matter)? How'd it go?
