Web-888 Web Server Code

This code is forked from KiwiSDR project.

The notable changes:

1. Use Linux Kernel Driver to interactive with hardware. No strict timing requirement on code.
2. Use Linux Pthread scheduler to replace userland task scheduler. Add lock protection in many code paths, which was assumed running in single core.
3. Use native thread instead of process for most blocking opertaions.
4. Use hardware GPS instead of Software Defined GPS receiver
5. Use PPS signal to tune ADC clock.
6. Disable ToDA extention for now
7. Use CMake as build system instead of Makefile, gcc as compiler instead of clang.

Setup a build enviorment by qemu

The instruction is only tested on Debian. It may work on Ubuntu as well but not testsed.

1. Install necessary packages

# sudo apt install qemu-user-static binfmt-support wget

2. Create a virtual ARM enviroment (!!not a VM!!)

# mkdir ~/alpine
# cd ~/alpine
# wget http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/main/armv7/apk-tools-static-2.14.4-r1.apk
# mkdir alpine-apk
# tar -zxf apk-tools-static-2.14.4-r1.apk --directory=alpine-apk --warning=no-unknown-keyword
# mkdir -p alpine-root/usr/bin
# cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static alpine-root/usr/bin/
# mkdir -p alpine-root/etc
# cp /etc/resolv.conf alpine-root/etc/
# cp -r alpine-apk/sbin alpine-root/
# sudo chroot alpine-root /sbin/apk.static --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/main --update-cache --allow-untrusted --initdb add alpine-base

Configure apk repo, add main and community channels.

# echo http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/main | sudo tee alpine-root/etc/apk/repositories
# echo http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/community | sudo tee -a alpine-root/etc/apk/repositories

3. Get into the virtual enviroment, This command will be used next time after you exist from the virtual enviroment

sudo chroot alpine-root /bin/sh --login

run the following commands to install the build tools

# apk update
# apk add openssh-server wpa_supplicant git dhcpcd dnsmasq u-boot-tools hostapd iptables avahi dbus chrony gpsd curl-dev htop frp jq libunwind zlib noip2 noip2-openrc netpbm musl-dev linux-headers g++ gcc cmake make minify fftw-dev fdk-aac-dev pkgconf perl gpsd-dev libunwind-dev zlib-dev sqlite-dev sqlite-static libconfig-static libconfig-dev patch automake autoconf

4. Inside the virtual enviroment, it is like a normal linux. You can use git to enlist the code, update submodules and use cmake to build the binary.

# cd /root
# git clone https://github.com/raspsdr/server
# cd server
# git submodule update --init
# mkdir build
# cd build
# cmake ..
# cmake --build .

5. Use the compiled binary websdr.bin to replace the one in the root of your TF card.

6. Happy hack
