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:

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 <firmware_file>.

• 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].

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.
