eti-stuff

"eti-stuff" is an attempt to understand the eti structure as defined in ETS 300 799 for Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB and DAB+).


New: eti-cmdline can be compiled using MSVC

The software consists of 2 programs, eti-cmdline and eti-backend. eti-cmdline is a DAB decoder that translates an incoming DAB transmission into an ETI sequence. eti-backend, merely built to test somethings, reads in an ETI sequence and interprets the data, allowing selection of a service. If decoding an ETI stream is required, one is advised to use dablin rather than eti-backend.

eti-cmdline is based on the dab-cmdline software with code included from dabtools to actually decode the eti frames. It is - as the name suggests - a command line version.

eti-cmdline now supports a whole range of device (the device is for cmake command, see below):

  • RTLSDR: for DABStickes based on Realtek 2832 chipset,
  • AIRSPY: for Airspy R2 and Airspy mini devices (not for Airspy HF+),
  • SDRPLAY: for SDRPlay RSP devices using the 2.13 SDRplay library,
  • SDRPLAY_V3: for SDRPlay RSP devices using the 3.06/7 SDRplay library,
  • PLUTO: for Adalm Pluto devices,
  • HACKRF: for HackRF devices,
  • LIMESDR: for LimeSDR devices
  • RTL_TCP: for rtl_tcp input (and multiple DABsticks support),
  • RAWFILES: for 8bit unsigned raw files
  • WAVFILES: for 16bit wave files
  • XMLFILES: for uff and xml files, created by Qt-DAB or Qirx

eti-cmdline now can be compiled for Windows using msvc (thanks to Andreas Gorsak). The directory contains a folder "nuild-for-msvc" that contains the required files for MSVC to tun. The configuration file (eti-cmdline.vcxproj) is configured for SDRplay (with the 2.13 library). Modify the eti-cmdline.vcxproj for your device.

When building for Linux, you can use CMake to have a makefile generated. Select the input device of choice in the CMake command, for example

  cmake -DRTLSDR=ON  # for DABSticks

or

  cmake -DRAWFILES=ON # for u8 raw files
  make
  sudo make install

By piping the output from eti-cmdline into dablib_gtk, a more or less complete DAB receiver exists.

You can use dablin or dablin_gtk from https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/dablin by running

  eti-cmdline-xxx -C 11C -G 80 | dablin_gtk

where xxx refers to the input device being supported, one of (rtlsdr, sdrplay, sdrplay-v3, pluto, airspy, hackrf, limesdr, rawfiles, wavfiles, xmlfiles, rtl_tcp).
