Will SDR++ need other drivers or apps to run Airspy HF+ Discovery on M1 Macs?

[NH7L]

Very happy with SDR++ and how it runs an RTL-SDR v.3 on my M1 MacBook Air. When my Airspy HF+ Discovery arrives, will I need to install anything else to get it running on this machine?

If you're using the .app from the nightly build (you should switch to it if you haven't yet), everything is included so it should work right out of the box.

Thanks, Alexandre!

I must have done something wrong. Downloaded sdrpp_macos_amd64.pkg, which I assume is the nightly build, and when I unpackaged it, never could find it anywhere on my M1 Mac. Installed a new copy of the version you gave me on Dec. 25 and got it running again.

[AlexandreRouma]

the pkg isn't the nightly build, it's the old release.

I forgot that I don't have the M1 build in the nightly build, only the intel .app is available.

The M1 .app I sent you should work until I can compile a newer build on m1

Thanks for getting back to me, Alexandre. I can wait. ;) Ernie NH7L

I'm new to all this, including github. If I am in the wrong place or something let me know. I was wondering is sdr++ .app i have (V 1.0.6) will support the Airspy R2. Thank you.

It should. If it doesn't work for you, open your own discussion thread to ask for help.

Hi Alexandre — After months away from my radios because of a long-distance move, I'm interested in installing the newest working version of SDR++ on one of my two M1 MacBook Air machines. Probably because of my own online incompetence, I am not finding it on your Github pages. Can you tell me how to get it? Or whether I even SHOULD get it, since I am still using the Feb. 6 2022 version I got from you? I'm guessing there may be updates/fixes/ improvements I can take advantage of. For now, I plan to keep my other M1 AirBook running the Feb. 6 2022 version, which still runs perfectly. I used it until May, when I packed up my belongings for the move from Washington state to Kansas. Just now got settled into my newly rented flat. Once I have the newest version running properly, I will copy it over to my second machine. Still very grateful to you for all your hard work to give us Mac users an excellent alternative to SDR#. Thanks very much. Ernest Murphy NH7L ***@***.*** or ***@***.*** Lawrence, Kansas USA

Hi,

Unfortunately there isn't any new build for M1 because I still don't have access to one. They are still way too expensive to buy even used so I can't justify the expense. At some point I was thinking of buying the new M2 MacBook Air but my situation has changed and I decided to save up instead. GitHub said they would add M1 machines to the automated build systems which will allow me to build SDR++ for M1 but they still haven't delivered.

The only MacOS builds currently available are the nightly builds), but they are Intel only and have issues running on M1.

I have a friend who has an M1 machine so I may be able to get you a build soon enough but I won't be able to make the builds very often.

[NH7L]

Thanks for the quick reply, Alexandre. I will continue using my copy of your old version of SDR++ for M1 Macs then. Not at all a problem for me, since it works so well. I wish Macs were more affordable. The cost is an issue for all who use them. Thanks and 73! Ernest Murphy NH7L Lawrence, Kansas USA
