*Until you install the operating system, the default user = live / no password.

DragonOS FocalX (22.04) and DragonOS Focal (20.04) are out-of-the-box Lubuntu based x86_64 operating systems for anyone interested in software defined radios.

All source installed software is located in the /usr/src directory while the remaining software was installed by package managers.

What is DragonOS and why do you want it?

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. DragonOS is the straight line between you and Software Defined Radio! It leverages the portability, security, and power of Lubuntu Linux as a delivery package and operating environment for a pre-installed suite of the most powerful and accessible open source SDR software. DragonOS has verified support for a range of inexpensive and powerful SDR hardware, including RTL-SDR, HackRF One, LimeSDR, BladeRF, and many others.

User Reviews

  • very good up to date
  • This distro is the best for any type of radio or signals work.
  • Greatness
  • I was just getting into SDR when the pandemic hit. I started following you because of all your hard work on the subject then abruptly I had to stop. The pandemic took both my Mom and only living Aunt. Now I have found time again to start up this passion I have with SDR. It seems not very many women are into it, I find it fascinating. I remembered you so I looked you up to see how much you have done since I left. As far as I can tell the pandemic was only good for one thing. Your beautiful mind. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to many hours of enjoyment getting to know your work.
  • Absolutely great work! I'm happy that so many tools and applications are put together under one single platform and they are working out of the box width any of my SDR gadgets. It was so annoying to use them and provide for each of it a different environment. I'm trying to make it work with 2xUSRP N210. If I do not succeed may I ask for some guidance from you? Keep up the good work!
