Python inside ADALM-Pluto (PlutoSDR)

IPrium on Nov 20, 2017

Hello all

I want to share my experience how to use Python inside ADALM-Pluto.

Python installation:

(1) Download Python-2.7.3.tar.gz from rankeney user's message here

Add python (or any rpm) on Petalinux - Community Forums
(2) Copy Python-2.7.3.tar.gz to ADALM-Pluto to /tmp folder (SCP protocol)
(3) Open SSH connection to ADALM-Pluto and execute

gzip -d /tmp/Python-2.7.3.tar.gz

tar -xvf /tmp/Python-2.7.3.tar -C /usr

Now you can use Python inside ADALM-Pluto. I tried iio.py from ADI github and it works as expected,
I can perform AD9364 configuration, RF signal generation and RF signal capture with Python inside ADALM-Pluto and avoid any PC-to-Pluto data transfer (USB). I can generate signals with higher sampling rate because USB connection is not bottleneck anymore.

N.B. Python installation is not permanent, you will lose all your Python scripts and Python program itself after Pluto restart/reset/reboot.

ADI stuff, I think it's very useful to add python in your buildroot and make python permanent in ADALM-Pluto.

Thanks for share!,I will give a try.

a solution for restart/reset/reboot issue should be to build your own image with python inside.

what about the next step to include gnuradio inside adalm pluto?. this would be amazing.

thanks.

Thanks for info, works great! Has anyone tried to install Numpy as well on the Adalm Pluto?

Thanks,

Thanks, I also got Python to Run on the ADALM-Pluto following similar instructions.

It is great to be able to add a single standalone program and have it run.

Is there a simple "Hello_World.c" program for cross compiling for the ADALM-Pluto?

Thanks
