I made an installation of the RedHawk framework and IDE on a Linux Ubuntu 13.04 (64bit system). It seems to run correctly but I don't see any Component (like sigGen or hardLimit) in the Chalkboard palette. My $SDRROOT/dom/components dir is empty. How can I correct this? How can I find and install available Components? Thanks for your help.

Appendix F Installing REDHAWK on Ubuntu of the PDF REDHAWK Manual Version 1.10.0 only gives instructions for downloading and building the sources necessary for the base system (page 390). To install the components used in the manual's IDE Quickstart, you need to clone the basic-components git repository and copy it into the $SDRROOT/dom/components folder.

From the git directory used in section F.3 Building REDHAWK, run the following in the shell:

git clone https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/basic-components

Go into each sub-directory of basic-components/ (e.g., SigGen/) and run the build script:

./build.sh

Once you have build the components, go back up to the git directory and run:

cp -r basic-components/ $SDRROOT/dom/components/

The basic REDHAWK components (SigGen, HardLimit, etc.) should now appear in the Palette the next time you start the REDHAWK IDE.

The components are part of the core framework tarball. For the Redhawk 1.9.0, the rpm is named redhawk-basic-components-1.9.0-6.el6.x86_64.rpm. Check the installation instructions (http://redhawksdr.github.io/Documentation/mainch2.html#x4-100002.4) for more info.

  • Note that the OP installed this on an Ubuntu machine, and following the instructions on the Redhawk site for Ubuntu renders the components dir empty. The question is still valid. – Jonas Malm Mar 08 '14 at 08:40
