bladeRF 2018.08
This release introduces new functionality and bug fixes, particularly support
for the bladeRF 2.0 Micro product. It consists of the following versions:
* FPGA bitstream v0.7.3
* FX3 firmware v2.2.0
* libbladeRF v2.0.2
* bladeRF-cli v1.6.1
* MATLAB & Simulink bindings v1.0.1
* Python bindings v1.0.1
*****************************************************************************
*** libbladeRF v2.0 introduces a number of breaking changes !! ***
*****************************************************************************
*** Please see relnotes_2_0 in the Doxygen documentation for a full ***
*** discussion of the changes in libbladeRF v2.0. ***
*****************************************************************************
Summary of changes since 2016.06:
* FPGA
- Added support for Automatic Gain Control
- Redesign build system to support multiple product models
- Initial release with bladeRF Micro support
- Refactoring, bug fixes, and other misc. improvements
* FX3
- Add support for the bladeRF 2.0 (2cf0:5250).
- Fix loading FPGA bitstreams from flash when there is nothing connected to
the USB connector.
- Move USB descriptor consts to .usbdscr section so the linker glomps them.
* libbladeRF
- Added support for Automatic Gain Control
- Added bladeRF.conf config option file
- Refactor to support for multiple product lines
- Add support for the bladeRF Micro product
- API: replace bladerf_module with bladerf_channel, a reverse-compatible
change to handle products with multiple independent RF paths in the same
direction
- API: BREAKING CHANGE - on bladerf_set_frequency, et al, the frequency
parameter is now uint64_t instead of unsigned int
- Add typedefs for common param types, e.g. bladerf_frequency -> uint64_t
* bladeRF-cli
- Added support for Automatic Gain Control
- No longer initializes the bladeRF before loading a new FPGA image, to
avoid potential catch-22 problems
- bladeRF 2.0 Micro support
- Support for MIMO RX and TX using "channel=" parameter on rx/tx config
- Various code quality fixups
* MATLAB & Simulink bindings
- Add support for bladeRF 2.0 (Micro) products
- Change "not supported" (-8) library errors to Matlab warnings
temporarily, to permit some grace while others' scripts are updated.
- Update bladeRF_XCVR to use new unified gain control
- Add bladeRF_Misc for misc measurements and controls
- Update bladeRF_rx_gui to support unified gain
- Update Simulink block to match libbladeRF v2.0.0
* Python
- New in 2018.08
libbladeRF v2.0.2 This version of libbladeRF is intended for use with: FX3 Firmware v2.2.0 FPGA v0.7.3 There are no functional changes since v2.0.1, although there are changes to the API documentation and the cmake build scripts. Changes: * Improve bladerf_gain_mode documentation (Nuand#595) * Don't warn about libusb version on FreeBSD (Nuand#594)
