RX & TX module control

Description

The RX and TX modules are independently configurable. As such, many libbladeRF functions require a bladerf_module parameter to specify which module to operate on.

These functions are thread-safe.

Enumerations
enum	bladerf_module { BLADERF_MODULE_INVALID = -1, BLADERF_MODULE_RX, BLADERF_MODULE_TX }

Functions
API_EXPORT int CALL_CONV	bladerf_enable_module (struct bladerf *dev, bladerf_module m, bool enable)

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum bladerf_module

Module selection for those which have both RX and TX constituents

Enumerator
BLADERF_MODULE_INVALID	Invalid module entry
BLADERF_MODULE_RX	Receive Module
BLADERF_MODULE_TX	Transmit Module

Function Documentation

API_EXPORT int CALL_CONV bladerf_enable_module	(	struct bladerf *	dev,
		bladerf_module	m,
		bool	enable
	)

Enable or disable the specified RX/TX module.

RX and TX modules must always be enabled prior to streaming samples on the associated interface.

When a synchronous stream is associated with the specified module, this will shut down the underlying asynchronous stream when enable = false.

When transmitting samples, be sure to provide ample time for TX samples reach the RF front-end before calling this function with enable = false. (This can be achieved easily when using metadata, as shown on this page.)

Parameters

dev	Device handle
m	Device module
enable	true to enable, false to disable

Returns

0 on success, value from Error codes list on failure
