This repository contains the code for the driver code in charge of communicating with the RFNM hardware. It is important to note that this driver is a work in progress.
- Talk to RFNM hardware (the linux kernel drivers inside the RFNM device).
- Send/receive data and configure the device.
- Very early code, THE API DEFINITION IS NOT YET STABLE.
- Only works via USB.
- Can only do recieve properly, transmit is still a work in progress (DMA issues over PCIe, nothing to do with this code).
- Local transport (librfnm will run in userspace inside the RFNM device).
The installation steps depend on the operating system.
First, start by installing the dependencies using vcpkg. For this, make sure you have both visual studio, vcpkg and cmake installed.
vcpkg install libusb:x64-windows spdlog:x64-windows
Next, cd to a working directory of your chosing and grab the latest driver source code and cd into it. For this you can either download a zip of the code and extract it or use git:
git clone https://github.com/rfnm/librfnm
cd librfnm
Then, create a build directory and cd into it
mkdir build ; cd build
Next, prepare the cmake build files. Make sure to change the vcpkg path to that of vcpkg on your system.
cmake .. "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
Then, build the library
cmake --build . --config Release
Finally, the library can be installed using
cmake --install .
It should then be available at C:/Program Files/RFNM.
For linux, start by installing the dependencies using your package manager. You will need libusb and spdlog. The name of these packages will depend on your exact distribution.
Next, cd to a working directory of your chosing and grab the latest driver source code and cd into it. For this you can either download a zip of the code and extract it or use git:
git clone https://github.com/rfnm/librfnm
cd librfnm
Then, create a build directory and cd into it
mkdir build && cd build
Next, prepare the cmake build files.
cmake ..
Then, build the library
make
Finally, the library can be installed using
sudo make install
