It provides the DLL functiona via a [MessagePack](http://msgpack.org/) TCP API.\n\nDescription\n-----------\n\"RTKDAB.dll\" is a SDR library which demodulates a DAB signal from raw ADC samples. It works much better with weak signals compared to [SDR-J](http://www.sdr-j.tk/index.html) or [dab2eti](https://github.com/linuxstb/dabtools).\nTo goal is to use this library together with open source DAB software and [RTL2832U](http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) dongles. Since it is a binary MS Windows DLL a interface is necessary which also runs in [wine](https://www.winehq.org/).\n\n**Why is \"RTKDAB.dll\" better?**\n\nMaybe because it is based on the [\"Fraunhofer DAB/DRM MultimediaPlayer\"](http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/ff/amm/prod/digirundfunk/digirundf/dabdrmmplayer.html) where a lot of Fraunhofer IIS engineers and researches work on this library.\n\nUsage\n-----\n\"RTKDAB_Interface\" uses the program \"rtl_tcp\" to read data from the RTL2832U dongles. You have to install \"rtl_tcp\" first and to start it. For Ubuntu you can do:\n\n    # sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr\n    # rtl_tcp\n\n**How-to obtain \"RTKDAB.dll\"**\n\nBecause of license problems it is not possible to provide \"RTKDAB.dll\". But it is included in the program \"NOXON DAB MediaPlayer\".\n- Download \"NOXON DAB MediaPlayer\" http://ftp.noxonradio.de/NOXON/NOXON_DAB_Stick/Updates/NOXON_DAB_Stick_DAB_MediaPlayer_Setup_4.1.0.exe\n- Install it (also working in wine)\n- Navigate to the folder e.g.\"C:\\Program Files\\NOXON Media\\NOXON DAB MediaPlayer\"\n- Copy \"RTKDAB.dll\" and place it where \"RTKDAB_Interface.exe\" is located\n\nNow you can run \"RTKDAB_Interface.exe\"\n\n**How-to run \"RTKDAB_Interface.exe\" in wine**\n- Basically the same like MS Windows\n- Make sure that you have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2012 installed. For the installation see [here](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application\u0026iId=5766)\n- Tested with wine 1.7.50 and Ubuntu 14.04\n\nMessagePack TCP API\n-------------------\nRTKDAB_Interface has two MessagePack TCP interfaces. A MessagePack client to transmit the FIC and MSC data (\"RTKDAB.dll\" callback) and a MessagePack server to provide the \"RTKDAB.dll\" API. \n\n**MessagePack client methods**\n\n\"RTKDAB_Interface\" will connect to a MessagePack TCP server and call the following methods.\n\nMethod | Parameters | Return | Description\n------ | ---------- | ------ | -----------\nMSCData | bin DataArray, int MSC data size, int SCID | None | Transmits the MSC data to a given sub-channel\nFICData | bin DataArray, int FIC data size, int Mode | None | Transmits the FIC data to a given channel\nStreamData | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nPacketData | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nMWFICData | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\n\n**MessagePack server methods**\n\n\"RTKDAB_Interface\" provides the following methods. A MessagePack TCP client can call it.\n\nMethod | Parameters | Return | Description\n------ | ---------- | ------ | -----------\nAddServiceCom | int ParaMode, int ID, int StartCU, int U_E, int Index, int EEPIdx, int CUNum, int PacketAddr, int FEC  | None | Adda a service componente\nDelServiceCom | int ParaMode, int ID, int PacketAddr | None | Deletes a service componente\nSetFreq | int Frequency in kHz | None | Sets the tuner to a mid frequeny\nOpenDevice | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nCloseDevice | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nStart | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nStop | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nChangeSCOrg | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nGetFreqAndBW | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nGetSignalQuality | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nGetSignalLock | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nGetSignalPresent | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\nGetSignalStrength | N/A | N/A | Not implemented\n\nBuilding\n-----------\n- Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 with platform toolset Visual Studio 2012\n\nDependencys\n-----------  \n- AnyRPC: https://github.com/sgieseking/anyrpc\n\n**Forked into this repository**\n- rtltcpaccess: https://github.com/steve-m/rtltcpaccess\n\nReferences\n--------------\n- DAB Specification: https://www.worlddab.org/technology-rollout/standards/technical-specifications-list\n  - EN 300 401 \"Radio Broadcasting Systems; Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) to mobile, portable and fixed receivers\"\n  - TS 102 563 \"Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB); Transport of Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio\"\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtkdab_interface","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtkdab_interface","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falbrechtl%2Frtkdab_interface/lists"}
