Is the BladeRf tested and intended to work

#1

Unread post by richhas »

I have a basic question. Is bladerf support tested and verified as part of your product release process?

Is it even intended to work? If your team does not do that verification work, who is responsible so I might contact them?

Is help needed to test that functionality? Might be able to help.

Who is responsible for the BladeRf "plug in" dev - contact please so I might engage.

Thanks,

Rich

Hi again Rich

There is no team. SDR Console is all the work of one man, Simon Brown G4ELI:

https://www.dit-dit-dit.com/

Simon is active on here but also does commercial programming so he may just be busy at the moment with other stuff. Don't forget SDR Console is offered FREE! Well, it's actually donationware.... if you get it working with your hardware you will most likely wish to donate as the program is excellent.

I am sure Simon will pick up your thread here and offer some information. Maybe just keep monitoring for a while and he should come along!

Best

Some further drops of information (sorry, nothing very illuminating) but seems no TX support for BladeRF according to the table (if it is up to date):

Rich,

BladeRF v1 should work, but receive only.

Simon,

Is there a "public" plugin api and doc? Is the existing bladerf support src available for reference and/or extension by - in this case me?

Not sure where to look on your site.

"No" is a fine answer.

No is indeed the answer. I just don't have the mental energy to support this at the moment, but may provide a full source code so you can at least add support for s SDR receiver.

A good example could be support for the Airspy or SDRplay.

Understand - been there - just retired after almost 50 years deep in it.

Source would be great. I have an SdrPlay... So a fully functional example with source would be a grand place to start if that works for you.

It's not going to happen soon. This would really tie up my time, then there's ongoing support etc., then the associated legal issues.

Totally understand. If doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. My email is richhas@hasha.org if things open up for you. If in any way I could add some value back towards your direction in exchange, I'd be open to that.

Thanks for the consideration.

Rich
