[Hackrf-dev] off frequency

Mon Oct 20 13:06:07 EDT 2014

Still waaaaaay too complicated when an EXE would make this simple enough for a child to do. Same for the hackRF_info thing...

I have cmake for windows, but it is asking me under the configure button for the generator. In the list is lots of "stuff". What should I select? There's a bunch of visual studio options and other choices. Also, what about the 4 radio buttons? Which is the correct choice? See the attached screenshots. And there's other options in cmake that I don't know what to do with.

You need to build the hackrf tools for your linux distro. Try these steps below (courtesy of Matt Borgerson)  :
$ mkdir ~/sdrBuild HackRF Host Software
Clone the HackRF repository.
$ cd ~/sdr$ git clone https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf.git
Note: When I cloned, I got changeset 740940f8. As this article ages, you will likely get a different version, and that's okay. I'm just recording this as a known-working version.
Move to the hackrf/host directory.
$ cd hackrf/hostCreate the build directory, move to it, and use Cmake (installed earlier) to create the Makefiles required for building.
$ mkdir build && cd build$ cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ONBuild and Install.
$ make$ sudo make install$ sudo ldconfigTest the HackRF Device
Connect your HackRF One.
Run the hackrf_info tool to get some device information.
$ hackrf_infoFound HackRF board.Board ID Number: 2 (HackRF One)Firmware Version: ...Part ID Number: ...Serial Number: ...

Thanks for the assistance... 
I have the 8-1-2014 firmware. hackrf_spiflash is not an executable. It's a .c file what do I do with that? A simple .exe would make this easy.

hackrf_spiflash -w hackrf_one_usb_rom_to_ram.bin

hackrf_one_usb_rom_to_ram.bin is found here.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hackrf/files/

I hope this helps.

Some of us are smart people, but obviously not as smart as you and personally, having read thru the "Updating Firmware" instructions several times I'm still at a complete loss on how to update my firmware. I test software for a living so I have to understand all sorts of ins and outs of things to be able to perform my job, but this is too much.

How about create an executable that I can use that will apply the hackrf_one_usb_rom_to_ram.bin to the hackRF One? That is simple and just about anyone can follow a few steps. Having to compile code, install several things and then learn what they are before I can apply a firmware upgrade to a hardware device is really pushing the limits. I just want to use the HackRF!
