r820t - also possibly Terratec ?
Osmocomm should know, because they have copyright on the whole bundle of rtl-sdr code.
I'd be really interested as I'm currently trying to get rtl-sdr working on ARM for
Raspberry Pi / Beaglebone Black.
It may also be worth looking at how they have moved at gnuradio using pybombs (git://github.com/pybombs/pybombs)
which will pull in all of the appropriate bits to fit in well with gnuradio itself.
I'm having real problems getting _that_ to work because of libboost not compiling nicely on ARM
All the best,
