Small C++ library to interface with the FreeSRP

libfreesrp

The FreeSRP is an open source platform for software defined radio. The hardware is based around the Analog Devices AD9364 transceiver covering 70 MHz - 6 Ghz with a bandwidth of up to 56 MHz, an Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA and a USB 3.0 connection to stream data to a computer in real time.

libfreesrp is a small C++ library that uses libusb to program and configure the FreeSRP hardware and both receive and transmit RF signals.

Under construction

Right now, programming the FreeSRP, configuring the AD9364 and receiving data works well. Transmitting and full duplex operation are also possible, but not yet at the full bandwidth.

Getting started

libfreesrp depends on libusb 1.0 and some boost libraries, and uses CMake as its build system.

On Ubuntu 14.04, this is how to build and install the library and its dependencies:

# Install the dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev libboost-all-dev

# Get the latest libfreesrp source code
git clone https://github.com/FreeSRP/libfreesrp.git

# Build the library
cd libfreesrp
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make

# Install the library
sudo make install

libfreesrp's Issues

Request for devices enumeration

FreeSRP looks like an interesting little gem but looking at the interface (a work in progress I know) I do not see any API to get an enumeration of the FreeSRP devices available to the system along with their serial number. As a consequence a method to open the device specifying the serial number should also be supplied. This will make it similar to BladeRF or HackRF.

license clarification

What's the license for code in this repo? Is it ok to assume GPL?

Reference to 'FreeSRP' is ambiguous

I have trouble compiling these sources with clang-cl. E.g. on util.cpp:

../libfreesrp/src/util.cpp(52,6): error: reference to 'FreeSRP' is ambiguous
bool FreeSRP::Util::find_fx3(bool upload_firmware, std::string filename)
     ^
../libfreesrp/include\freesrp.hpp(64,11): note: candidate found by name lookup is 'FreeSRP'
namespace FreeSRP
          ^
../libfreesrp/include\freesrp.hpp(181,11): note: candidate found by name lookup is 'FreeSRP::FreeSRP'
    class FreeSRP
          ^

What's up with this? I'm no C++ expert to tell myself.
