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. After flashing firmware, be sure to press the reset button or unplug/replug the device.
6. If you haven't upgraded your firmware, run bladeRF-cli -f <path_to_prebuilt_firmware>. This upgrade is required to utilize libusb support. Be sure to reset or power-cycle the board after flashing the firmware.
7. You should now be able to see your device in the list output via bladeRF-cli -p
8. See the overview of the bladeRF-cli for more information about loading the FPGA and using the command line interface tool

Coming Soon: Quick Start information for GNU Radio support via gr-osmosdr

In the meantime, see the Building GNURADIO from GIT section of kb3gtn's bladeRF setup guide for information on this.
