REDHAWK IDL PROJECT into Target SDR

[Revathy0427]

@jsrsarma @ryanbauman Hello, I am new to REDHAWK. Could you please help me on how to install all jtrs IDL interfaces into REDHAWK Target SDR. Thank you.

You can install these interfaces by creating custom IDL projects in the IDE and adding your IDL files to these projects. These projects include the automake hooks to install the stubs in the appropriate place and for you to be able to create ports that implement the interfaces

Hello @maxrobert, thanks for your reply. Is there anyway to create a vocoder and an encryptor component using these IDL files. I know using cpp we can create REDHAWK components. But is there any other alternative for creating components in advance. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The model that REDHAWK follows for leveraging custom IDL is with a "has a" rather than an "is a" pattern. If you were to create a REDHAWK component with these IDL as the port definition for one of its "provides" ports, it'd generate the server-side stubs in the project's port_impl.* files. The port object is instantiated as part of the component's deployment cycle. The component implements the base interfaces for lifecycle/housekeeping and the port would be for your use in your case-specific functionality

@maxrobert Thanks for your reply. I have an another problem please help me if you could. I am trying to install few components into my TARGET SDR from the git repo: https://github.com/lmcadoo2/RedhawkComponents.
I have also installed the liquid-dsp shared library that is required but when I try to install Redhawk components into the TARGET SDR I am getting this error.

checking for fec_v3... no
configure: error: "Unable to find x86_64 fec Shared Package"

What should I do to overcome this? Kindly help. Thank you.
