Cariboulite with Dragon OS

Just incase you have not seen it, there is this video that shows that the Cariboulite may still have some life in it!

Thanks Martin !

I missed that video from the developper of Dragon OS.

I followed his video step by step and miraculously cariboulite was recognized by SoapySDRUtil without using sudo!

I have successfully tested Cariboulite on a PI4 in reception (S1G, HiF) with:
- SDR++
- SDRangel
- GNURadio
- CubicSDR

But no success with SDRangel and GNURadio on transmit.
With GNURadio using Soapy , I can see that the configuration is done correctly, but no LED TX on and no HF... :-(

I have just compiled the gr-caribouLite block and only a source block is available...

To compile:

cd cariboulite/software/gr-caribouLite
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

You should see a block called "CaribouLite Source" under a section called CaribouLite
