I am not a software person, perhaps one of you might be able to school me on the feasibility of the following:
Currently there are no applications (that I know of) that will operate the Peaberry SDR V2 from a stand alone Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone platform in a receive and transmit phone mode.
Would it be possible to write a very pared down application that would function on those low power platforms? Thinking an extremely simple GUI that looks almost like an old fashioned radio, a tune dial, Rx/Tx mode indicator/switch, USB/SSB/AM mode selection, on/off and band select. Sans any bells & whistles like spectrum scope, waterfall, filters. A maximum receive bandwidth of 10KHz. Would the Rpi or Beaglebone have the resource to run with such a pared down app? Have also heard the the Rpi GPU is now open source, perhaps the GPU could be harnessed for the extra needed horsepower to run a simplified SDR utility?
Would be awesome to be able to package a "Peaberry Pi" in a box with a small display, a 20w linear and jacks for mouse, mic, speaker, pwr and antenna.
Would like to hear any readers thoughts.
