HackRF Tools

In addition to third party tools that support HackRF, we provide some commandline tools for interacting with HackRF. For information on how to use each tool look at the help information provided (e.g. hackrf_transfer -h) or the manual pages.

The first two tools (hackrf_info and hackrf_transfer) should cover most usage. The remaining tools are provided for debugging and general interest; beware, they have the potential to damage HackRF if used incorrectly.

• hackrf_info Read device information from HackRF such as serial number and firmware version.

• hackrf_transfer Send and receive signals using HackRF. Input/output can be 8bit signed quadrature files or wav files.

• hackrf_max2837 Read and write registers in the Maxim 2837 transceiver chip. For most tx/rx purposes hackrf_transfer or other tools will take care of this for you.

• hackrf_rffc5071 Read and write registers in the RFFC5071 mixer chip. As above, this is for curiosity or debugging only, most tools will take care of these settings automatically.

• hackrf_si5351c Read and write registers in the Silicon Labs Si5351C clock generator chip. This should also be unnecessary for most operation.

• hackrf_spiflash A tool to write new firmware to HackRF. This is mostly used for Updating Firmware.

• hackrf_cpldjtag A tool to update the CPLD on HackRF. This is also sometimes used when Updating Firmware.

SDR Software.

• HDSDR here is the hackrf plugin dll
• gnuradio has already got the hackrf blocks
• GQRX - http://gqrx.dk/
• SDRSHARP Only nightly builds currently support HackRF One - http://sdrsharp.com/downloads/sdr-nightly.zip
• More info on SDRSHARP process  http://superfro.org/setting-up-hackrf-in-windows-with-sdr/
• Here is more info and videos of how to use the hackrf

Architecture:

• Taking the receiving process as an example, the flow after the signal enters from the antenna is as follows:
• The RF switch determines whether to amplify via a 14dB amplifier
• High-pass or low-pass filtering of the signal through the image suppression filter
• The signal is mixed with RFFC5072 chip to 2.6GHz fixed intermediate frequency
• The latest firmware supports the option of variable IF
• Intermediate frequency range 2.150GHz-2.750GHz
• The signal is fed into the MAX2837 chip and mixed to the baseband to output a differential IQ signal
• The MAX2837 chip can limit the bandwidth of the signal
• MAX5864 chip digitizes the baseband signal and sends it to CPLD and single chip TODO FIXME
• CPLD
• The LPC4320/4330 processor sends the sampled data to the computer via USB
• Put RFFC5072 and MAX2837 into the shield to protect them, prevent the interference of the outside world and other chips on the board, and try to prevent static electricity from puncturing some chips.
