Access to the GXSM CVS software archive
Here are some quick-start hints for the very impatient. The Gxsm source and precompiled DSP-code including all sources are available at SourceForge via CVS:
- Gxsm-Project at SF (GXSM, GXSM-2)
- SRanger-Project at SF (Signal Ranger Linux support and DSP code for SPM)
- To get the GXSM source code, use the CVS command checkout "co" and get the "Gxsm-2.0" module.
- If you want to use any of the Signal Ranger DSP boards (the SR Mk2-A810 is recommended), you need to get and install the source via CVS from the SF project SRanger. You will need to build the kernel module and load it. Also to programm (flash) the DSP with the matching DSP code "FB_spmcontrol.out" you will find in the CVS repository. (Needs to run Windows based the "minidebugger" supplied by SoftdB to program the DSP.)
