CPU consumption on Raspberry Pi 3 over 100% in 9600 bauds.

[kovalroma]

Raspberry Pi 3 Direwolf 1.6

Command to start rtl_fm -f 432.500M -g 22 -o 4 -s 44100 - | direwolf -c sdr.conf -r 44100 -B 9600 -

After first packet received, CPU increases over 100%. Then program stucks and not working. On 1200 bauds working good.

[wb2osz]

I can't explain that. This is what I get, with the same command, on an RPi 3:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 12674 pi 20 0 134912 12628 9424 S 43.7 1.3 61:03.90 direwolf 12673 pi 20 0 53232 6820 1824 S 11.6 0.7 15:24.04 rtl_fm

What are we doing differently? What compiler are you using? gcc or clang? When cmake is run, does it say somethng about NEON?

[kovalroma]

This command I use to install Direwolf

git clone https://www.github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
cd direwolf
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
