Please see the project website https://www.welle.io for a user oriented documentation.

Build status

  • Linux (Flatpak x86_64 and arm64):
  • Windows (Installer x86_64):
  • Android (APK): build workflow is currently disabled because a new, skilled maintainer for Android package is required to fix bug https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io/issues/814# in the workflow.

Developer version

welle.io is under development. You can also try the latest developer builds. But PLEASE BE WARNED the builds are automatically created and untested.

  • welle.io nightly builds (Windows, Linux)
  • Build artifacts in Actions runs

Usage

Since welle.io is a GUI program simply start it.

Command-line parameters

Parameter Description
-h, --help Show help

Supported Hardware

The following SDR devices are supported

  • RTL2832U
    • rtl-sdr
    • rtl_tcp
  • Airspy R2 and Airspy Mini
    • Limitation: Airspy HF+ is not supported due to limited bandwidth
  • I/Q RAW file
  • SoapySDR: All SDR-devices that are supported by SoapySDR, gr-osmosdr and uhd. These are too many devices to list them all. To see if your SDR is supported, have a look at the lists at SoapySDR and SoapyOsmo.
    • Devices supported by gr-osmosdr are supported via SoapyOsmo
    • Devices supported by uhd are supported via SoapyUHD
    • Notes
      • LimeSDR: Connect the antenna to the RX1_W port and configured SoapySDR antenna option to LNAW. SoapySDRUtil --probe=driver=lime may show other possible options.
      • USRP: Configured SoapySDR driver arguments option to driver=uhd. Configure also antenna and clock source option. To list possible values for antenna and clock source use the command SoapySDRUtil --probe=driver=uhd.
      • One limitation is of course that the SDR devices must be tunable to the DAB+ frequencies.

Building

General Information

The following libraries and their development files are needed.

  • Qt 6.8 or above
  • libfftw3
  • libfaad
  • librtlsdr
  • libusb
  • libmpg123
  • libairspy
  • libmp3lame
  • libsoapysdr

Debian / Ubuntu Linux

This section shows how to compile welle.io on Debian or Ubuntu (tested with Ubuntu 24.04).

  1. Install the base requirements
sudo apt install git build-essential
  1. Install the following non-Qt packages
sudo apt install libfaad-dev libmpg123-dev libfftw3-dev librtlsdr-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpulse-dev libsoapysdr-dev libairspy-dev libmp3lame-dev libflac++-dev xxd
  1. Install the Qt via the Qt online installer. It is recommend to use the newest Qt version. Besids Qt you need the additional Qt libraries:
  • Qt 5 Compatibility Module
  • Qt Charts
  • Qt Multimedia
  1. Clone welle.io
git clone https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git
  1. Start Qt Creator and open the project file welle.io.pro inside the folder "welle.io".
  2. Build welle.io
  3. Run welle.io and enjoy it

Windows 11

This section shows how to compile welle.io on Windows 11. Windows 10 and 7 should also be possible but is not tested.

  1. Install the Qt via the Qt online installer. It is recommend to use the newest Qt version. Besids Qt you need the additional Qt libraries:
  • Qt 5 Compatibility Module
  • Qt Charts
  • Qt Multimedia
  1. Clone welle.io https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io.git e.g. by using TortoiseGit.
  2. Clone the welle.io Windows libraries https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io-win-libs.git.
  3. Start Qt Creator and open the project file welle.io.pro inside the folder "welle.io".
  4. Build welle.io
  5. Run welle.io and enjoy it

macOS, Android and FreeBSD

These operating systems are not maintain, currently. You can find the original compiling insturections in the old README.md.

CMake

As an alternative to Qt Creator, CMake can be used for building welle.io after installing dependencies and cloning the repository. On Linux, you can also use CMake to build welle-cli, the command-line backend testing tool that does not require Qt.

  1. Create a build directory inside the repository and change into it
mkdir build
cd build
  1. Run CMake. To enable support for RTL-SDR add the flag -DRTLSDR=1 (requires librtlsdr) and for SoapySDR add -DSOAPYSDR=1 (requires SoapySDR compiled with support for each desired hardware, e.g. UHD for Ettus USRP, LimeSDR, Airspy or HackRF). By default, CMake will build both welle-io and welle-cli. Use -DBUILD_WELLE_IO=OFF or -DBUILD_WELLE_CLI=OFF to compile only the one you need.
cmake ..

or to enable support for both RTL-SDR and Soapy-SDR:

cmake .. -DRTLSDR=1 -DSOAPYSDR=1

If you wish to use KISS FFT instead of FFTW (e.g. to compare performance), use -DKISS_FFT=ON.

  1. Run make (or use the created project file depending on the selected generator)
make
  1. Install it (as super-user)
make install
  1. Run welle.io and enjoy it

welle-cli

If you compile welle-io with cmake you will also get an executable called welle-cli which stands for welle-io command line interface.

Usage of welle-cli

Receive using RTLSDR, and play with ALSA:

`welle-cli -c channel -p programme`

Read an IQ file and play with ALSA: (IQ file format is u8, unless the file ends with FORMAT.iq)

`welle-cli -f file -p programme`

Use -D to dump FIC and all programmes to files:

`welle-cli -c channel -D` 

Use -w to enable webserver, decode a programme on demand:

`welle-cli -c channel -w port`

Use -Dw to enable webserver, decode all programmes:

`welle-cli -c channel -Dw port`

Use -C 1 -w to enable webserver, decode programmes one by one in a carousel. Use -C N -w to enable webserver, decode programmes N by N in a carousel. This is useful if your machine cannot decode all programmes simultaneously, but you still want to get an overview of the ensemble. By default, welle-cli will switch every 10 seconds. With the -P option, welle-cli will switch once DLS and a slide were decoded, staying at most for 80 seconds on a given programme.

welle-cli -c channel -C 1 -w port
welle-cli -c channel -PC 1 -w port

Example: welle-cli -c 12A -C 1 -w 7979 enables the webserver on channel 12A, please then go to http://localhost:7979/ where you can observe all necessary details for every service ID in the ensemble, see the slideshows, stream the audio (by clicking on the Play-Button), check spectrum, constellation, TII information and CIR peak diagramme.

Streaming output options

By default, welle-cli will output in mp3 if in webserver mode. With the -O option, you can choose between mp3 and flac (lossless) if FLAC support is enabled at build time.

Backend options

-u disable coarse corrector, for receivers who have a low frequency offset.

Use -t [test_number] to run a test. To understand what the tests do, please see source code.

Driver options

By default, welle-cli tries all enabled drivers in turn and uses the first device it can successfully open.

Use -F [driver][,driver_args] to select a specific driver and optionally pass arguments to the driver. This allows to select the rtl_tcp driver (which is not auto-detected) and pass the hostname or IP address and port of the rtl_tcp server to it:

welle-cli -C 10B -p GRRIF -F rtl_tcp,192.168.12.34:1234
welle-cli -C 10B -P GRRIF -F rtl_tcp,my.rtl-tcp.local:9876

Right now, rtl_tcp is the only driver that accepts options from the command line.

Examples:

welle-cli -c 10B -p GRRIF
welle-cli -f ./ofdm.iq -p GRRIF
welle-cli -f ./ofdm.iq -t 1

Limitations

  • Windows 10 and older are not officially supported.

Development

You can join the welle.io development. Please visit the wiki to find more information.

Profiling

If you build with cmake and add -DPROFILING=ON, welle-io will generate a few .csv files and a graphviz .dot file that can be used to analyse and understand which parts of the backend use CPU resources. Use dot -Tpdf profiling.dot > profiling.pdf to generate a graph visualisation. Searc
