The USB adapter spun off from a closed-source project. The current USB software (Sdr1kUsb.dll) contains references to that work and we can't release the source code. The good news is that it should not be too hard to replace our Sdr1kUsb.dll with your own version. You just need to make it compatible with ours. PowerSDR source code (usb.cs and other files) will show you what functions you need to implement. The even better news is that the USB software has been completely rewritten and will soon be released under a BSD-style license. This happened because the USB chip used in the original adapter has become obsolete. FlexRadio has now redesigned the adapter hardware and I have already tested the new prototype with my new code. For compatibility with current 1.6 line of PowerSDR (and all previous versions) we will provide an updated version of Sdr1kUsb.dll that will work with both old and new adapter hardware. However, I expect the USB code eventually to be integrated into FlexRadio's new software architecture thus removing the need for a separate, closed-source Sdr1kUsb.dll. 73, Sami OH2BFO _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
