# bladeRF Source #
This repository contains all the source code required to program and interact with a bladeRF platform, including firmware for the Cypress FX3 USB controller, HDL for the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, and C code for the host side libraries, drivers, and utilities.
The source is organized as follows:
| Directory | Description |
| ----------------- |:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [firmware_common] | Source and header files common between firmware and host software |
| [fx3_firmware] | Firmware for the Cypress FX3 USB controller |
| [hdl] | All HDL code associated with the Cyclone IV FPGA |
| [host] | Host-side libraries, drivers, utilities and samples |
## Quick Start ##
1. Clone this repository via: ```git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git```
2. Fetch the latest pre-built bladeRF [FPGA image]. See the README.md in the [hdl] directory for more information.
3. Fetch the latest pre-built bladeRF [firmware image]. See the README.md in the [fx3_firmware] directory for more information.
4. Follow the instructions in the [host] directory to build and install libbladeRF and the bladeRF-cli utility.
5. Attach the bladeRF board to your fastest USB port.
6. You should now be able to see your device in the list output via ```bladeRF-cli -p```
7. You can view additional information about the device via ```bladeRF-cli -e info -e version```.
8. If any warnings indicate that a firmware update is needed, run:```bladeRF-cli -f ```.
- If you ever find the device booting into the FX3 bootloader (e.g., if you unplug the device in the middle of a firmware upgrade), see the ```recovery``` command in bladeRF-cli for additional details.
9. See the overview of the [bladeRF-cli] for more information about loading the FPGA and using the command line interface tool
For more information, see the [bladeRF wiki].
## Build Variables ##
Below are global options to choose which parts of the bladeRF project should
be built from the top level. Please see the [fx3_firmware] and [host]
subdirectories for more specific options.
