BLADERF-TOOL(1)

💖 BLADERF-TOOL — the manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to BLADERF-TOOL(1), a User Commands moment, and honestly? she's serving. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

bladerf-tool: — a Python command-line tool for bladeRF devices 🐍💅

yes. a whole Python CLI. living her best life. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the bladerf-tool utility is the girl who does the jobs. she's out here flashing firmware files, loading FPGA bitstreams, and handling other tasks on the nuand bladeRF software-defined radio system. multitasking queen 👑

and if you're like "bestie where do I even get firmware files and FPGA bitstreams, or how do I build them" — not to worry, the info lives at http://nuand.com/. go look. it's giving ✨resources✨.

🦋 USAGE 🦋

here's how you call her:

bladerf-tool [-h] [--device DEVICE]

and these are the subcommands she takes:

info, probe, flash_fw, recover_fw, load_fpga,
       flash_fpga, erase_fpga, rx, tx, version

🎀 optional arguments 🎀

the little extras. the accessories. the jewelry of this CLI:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exit. gone. bye 👋
• --device DEVICE, -d DEVICE — the device identifier. tells her which bladeRF you mean, because she's not a mind reader (lowkey wish she was tho 😭)

👑 subcommands 👑

the main characters. the whole roster:

info, probe, flash_fw, recover_fw, load_fpga, flash_fpga,
       erase_fpga, rx, tx, version

and one by one, no cap:

• info — get device info 🔍
• probe — probe for devices 📡
• flash_fw — flash firmware ⚡
• recover_fw — recover firmware 🩹
• load_fpga — load fpga 🧚
• flash_fpga — flash fpga 🔥
• erase_fpga — erase fpga 🧽
• rx — receive samples 📥
• tx — transmit samples 📤
• version — print version info 🏷️

bestie note: erase_fpga and the flashing commands are the ones where you want to actually mean it. these are real hardware operations, so read twice, run once, fr fr 🙈
