libhackRF API
================================================
This document describes the functions, data structures and constants that libHackRF provides. It should be used as a reference for using libHackRF and the HackRF hardware.
If you are writing a generic SDR application, i.e. not tied to the HackRF hardware, we strongly recommend that you use either gr-osmosdr or SoapySDR to provide support for the broadest possible range of software defined radio hardware.
For example usage of many of these functions, see the `hackrf_transfer <https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/blob/master/host/hackrf-tools/src/hackrf_transfer.c>`__ tool.
Setup, Initialization and Shutdown

int buffer_length;

void* rx_ctx;

Enumerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Supported board versions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These values identify the board type of the connected hardware. This value can be used as an indicator of capabilities, such as frequency range, bandwidth or antenna port power.
.. list-table ::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: 1 1 1 1
* - Board
- Frequency range
- Bandwidth
- Antenna port power
* - HackRF One
- 1MHz - 6Ghz
- 20MHz
- Yes
* - Jawbreaker
- 10MHz - 6GHz
- 20MHz
- No
* - Rad1o
- 50MHz - 4GHz
- 20MHz
- Unknown
* - Jellybean
- N/A
- 20MHz
- No
Most boards will identify as HackRF One, Jawbreaker or Rad1o. Jellybean was a pre-production revision of HackRF. No hardware device should intentionally report itself with an invalid board ID.
.. code-block :: sh
enum hackrf_board_id {
BOARD_ID_JELLYBEAN = 0,
BOARD_ID_JAWBREAKER = 1,
BOARD_ID_HACKRF_ONE = 2,
BOARD_ID_RAD1O = 3,
BOARD_ID_INVALID = 0xFF,
};
USB Product IDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block :: sh
enum hackrf_usb_board_id {
USB_BOARD_ID_JAWBREAKER = 0x604B,
USB_BOARD_ID_HACKRF_ONE = 0x6089,
USB_BOARD_ID_RAD1O = 0xCC15,
USB_BOARD_ID_INVALID = 0xFFFF,
};
Transceiver Mode
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
HackRF can operate in three main transceiver modes, Receive, Transmit and Signal Source. There is also a CPLD update mode which is used to write firmware images to the CPLD.
The transceiver mode can be changed with ``hackrf_set_transceiver_mode`` with the value parameter set to one of the following:
.. code-block:: sh
enum transceiver_mode_t {
TRANSCEIVER_MODE_OFF = 0,
TRANSCEIVER_MODE_RX = 1,
TRANSCEIVER_MODE_TX = 2,
TRANSCEIVER_MODE_SS = 3,
TRANSCEIVER_MODE_CPLD_UPDATE = 4
};
Receive mode (TRANSCEIVER_MODE_RX) is used to stream samples from the radio to the host system. Use ``hackrf_set_freq`` to set the center frequency of receiver and ``hackrf_set_sample_rate`` to set the sample rate (effective bandwidth).
Transmit mode (TRANSCEIVER_MODE_TX) is used to stream samples from the host to the radio.
See `hackrf_transfer <https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/blob/master/host/hackrf-tools/src/hackrf_transfer.c>`__ for an example of setting transmit and receive mode and transferring data over USB.
Function return values
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

HACKRF_SUCCESS = 0,
HACKRF_TRUE = 1,
HACKRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM = -2,
