# Aether's Xiegu X6100 notes [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg?style=flat-square)](http://makeapullrequest.com)

A repository dedicated to annotate the findings when hacking the

[Xiegu X6100 HF+6m transceiver](https://www.radioddity.com/products/xiegu-x6100).

## Architecture

The radio has been described as a "tablet on top of a radio". Such isn't far

from the truth. The radio is composed by two separate parts:

- An STM32 microcontroller connected to all the radio bits.

- An AllWinner SoC running a Linux operating system.

These two systems use a set of commands to communicate.

----

## TODO list

## Technical

- [ ] Add the model of the STM32 microcontroller.

  - [ ] Link the datasheet.

- [ ] Add the model of the AllWinner SoC.

  - [ ] Add

    [this link](https://www.agipcb.com/products-category/allwinner-r16-quad-core-cortex-a7-linux-android-smart-home/)

    to it.

  - [ ] Link the datasheet if one is available.

- [ ] Draw a nice diagram of the base architecure.

- [ ] Gather all scattered knowledge.

- [ ] Add information about how the base firmware is like the Xiegu X90.

- [ ] Add information about how the base firmware is based on

  [UHSDR](https://df8oe.github.io/UHSDR/).

- [ ] Add that libraries like [liquid-dsp](https://github.com/jgaeddert/liquid-dsp)

  are used in the frontend firmware.

- [ ] Add the information about the private key of the base firmware **without

  publishing it**.

- [ ] Add info about SSH/TTY into the **stock** firmware, and the root access.

- [ ] Add that, for the AetherX6100Control API to work properly, "you must

  _first_ call x6100_control_set_band() and then change the frequency."

## Formatting

- [ ] Separate the different sections into different directories and `readme.md`

  files as they get larger.
