Among the TODOs: * Refactor obtaining LPC serial number and chip ID into separate API and header/source files. Remove from main(). * Create a usb_set_serial_number_descriptor() or similar function to be called before USB stack is started. * Ensure USB serial number descriptor is valid even if code forgets to initialize the serial number before the USB stack is started. May be as simple as providing default initializer for usb_descriptor_string_serial_number[]. * Create a #define/constant for the usb_descriptor_string_serial_number length. * Identify what's causing intermittent crashes in hackrf_transfer when no serial number is specified. I'm probably misusing getopt. * Permit serial number without leading zeros so you don't have to type as much. * Add support for serial number argument in other hackrf_* tools. * Provide libhackrf support for enumerating multiple HackRFs, so that hackrf_info can list all devices. May require an additional libhackrf function, outside of hackrf_open(). ...and anything else that makes this less of a hack.
This repository contains host software (Linux/Windows) for HackRF, a project to produce a low cost, open source software radio platform.
##How to build host software on Windows:
###Prerequisites for cygwin or mingw:
- cmake-2.8.12.1 or more see http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- libusbx-1.0.18 or more see http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbx/files/latest/download?source=files
- Install Windows driver for HackRF hardware or use Zadig see http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig
- If you want to use Zadig select HackRF USB device and just install/replace it with WinUSB driver.
Note for Windows build: You shall always execute hackrf-tools from Windows command shell and not from Cygwin or Mingw shell because on Cygwin/Mingw Ctrl C is not managed correctly and especially for hackrf_transfer the Ctrl C(abort) will not stop correctly and will corrupt the file.
###For Cygwin:
cd host
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=1 -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/
make
make install
###For MinGW:
cd host
mkdir build
cd build
Normal version:
cmake ../ -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/
Debug version:
cmake ../ -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/
make
make install
##How to build the host software on Linux:
###Prerequisites for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev
###Build host software on Linux:
cd host
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
##Clean CMake temporary files/dirs:
cd host/build
rm -rf *
