bladeRF driver for SDR#


Installation

2. If required, copy all DLL files from LibBladeRF subdirectory to SDR# installation directory

**Be aware that any update of SDR# will require you to follow again steps 2 to 4!**

### Linux

To use SDR# on Linux, you need to first install a version of Mono that supports .Net framework 4.6.

At the moment, the setup has been tested using Mono 4.4.0.40 and is working.


1. Copy the Release/SDRSharp.BladeRF.dll into SDR# installation directory
2. Symlink required libraries in the SDR# installation directory:

```bash
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libbladeRF.so .
```

3. Add the following line in the frontendPlugins sections of FrontEnds.xml file:

<add key="BladeRF" value="SDRSharp.BladeRF.BladeRFIO,SDRSharp.BladeRF" />


4. Launch SDR# and cross fingers :)

Troubleshooting
===============
## Troubleshooting

If your samples look "weird" under SDR#, be sure to use a compatible libusb-1.0.dll.
Specially when frequently upgrading SDR#, it will re-install the RTL-SDR driver which embedds a pretty old version of this DLL (v.1.0.14).

Compilation
===========
## Compilation

If you need/want to compile this DLL, you need to copy the following two DLL files
from SDR# installation directory to Release and/or Debug directories:

1. SDRSharp.Radio.dll
2. SDRSharp.Common.dll

Compiling under Linux is also possible using Mono 4.4.0.40+ (even if a warning is issued to tell that building with framework 4.6 is
not supported.

Be aware that Mono xbuild uses different pathes for compilation so you will need to copy the 2 aforementioned DLL files in the
building directory expected by Mono xbuild for the compilation to succeed.
