This is a wrapper for hackrf. It includes both libhackrf and hackrf-tools

Project description

python_hackrf

python_hackrf is a cython wrapper for hackrf (https://github.com/greatscottgadgets/hackrf).

You can install this library using

pip install python_hackrf

Or assemble it manually using the following steps:

In order to build the library you need to go to the python_hackrf directory

cd python_hackrf

call

python setup.py build_ext --inplace.

If the build fails, you will need to specify the paths for the libusb library.

CFLAGS="-I/path to libusb.h /libusb-1.0" \
LDFLAGS="-L/path to libusb-1.0.so /lib" \
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Requirements:

hackrf:

Almost all the functionality of the standard library is implemented. Some features will be added later. (operacake).

hackrf tools:

  • hackrf_clock.c (Not implemented)
  • hackrf_cpldjtag.c (Not implemented)
  • hackrf_debug.c (Not implemented. But functions for this are implemented)
  • hackrf_info.c (Implemented + additionally added output of only serial numbers)
  • hackrf_operacake.c (Not implemented and the functions are also not implemented. Will be added in the future)
  • hackrf_spiflash.c (Not implement. I won’t implement them because this is a dangerous zone)
  • hackrf_sweep.c (Implemented)
  • hackrf_transfer.c (Not implemented. Will be added in the future)

usage

usage: python -m python_hackrf [-h] {info, sweep} ...

python_hackrf is a Python wrapper for libhackrf and hackrf-tools.

options:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit

Available commands:
  {info,sweep}
    info        Read device information from HackRF such as serial number and firmware version.
    sweep       a command-line spectrum analyzer.
usage: python -m python_hackrf info [-h] [-f] [-s]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f, --full            show info like in hackrf_info
  -s, --serial_numbers  show only founded serial_numbers
usage: python -m python_hackrf sweep [-h] [-d] [-a] [-f] [-p] [-l] [-g] [-w] [-1] [-N] [-I] [-r]

  -B          binary output. If specified = Enable
  -r          filename. output file

Note

This library can work on android. To do this, go to the android directory and download two recipes for p4a.

Examples

Examples will be added later.
