Support of SDRplay RSP1
SDRplay RSP1 is now supported in Linux version only. SDRplay is based on the MSi001 and MSi2500 chips from Mirics. The standard API provided by Mirics is closed source moreover it could not be implemented successfully in SDRangel. An open source API libmirisdr-2 has been written by Miroslav Slugen and later amended by Leif Asbrink SM5BSZ. It depends only on libusb. This API uses a new flavour called libmirisdr-4 in this very same Github space. It contains enhancements and bug fixes. Unfortunately the Windows version is unstable causing software abort and BSOD therefore no Windows version is provided.
GUI documentation can be found here.
To activate the plugin compilation you will have to compile libmirisdr-4 and install it in your system. When installed in non standard folders the include and library paths have to be specified on the cmake command line. Say if you install libmirisdr-4 in /opt/install/libmirisdr you will have to add -DLIBMIRISDR_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/install/libmirisdr/include -DLIBMIRISDR_LIBRARIES=/opt/install/libmirisdr/lib/libmirisdr.so on the cmake command line.
The Debian package is provided with libmirisdr so it is not a dependency.
Other changes
Frequency dial (value dial) improvement
- When right clicking on a digit the digits on the right are all set to zero. This effectively does a floor rounding at the current position. - When left clicking on a digit a cursor is set on it and you can also use the arrows to move the corresponding thumbwheel. It was the any button click behaviour previously.Build correction
Fixed SDRdaemon and SDRdaemonFEC builds so that they are included only if dependent libraries are found. This fixes issue #9
