HACKRF_OPERACAKE(1)

💖 HACKRF_OPERACAKE 💖

okay bestie, so this one is hackrf_operacake, and it lives in the User Commands section of the manual. she's a little command-line diva whose whole job is controlling an Opera Cake board through a HackRF. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

hackrf_operacake — control of operacake board via hackrf

so like, you gotta specify either the list option, the mode option, or the GPIO test option. pick one, she's not doing all three at once, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🎀 Usage:

here's the whole menu, and yes we're going through every single one, don't scroll:

• -h, --help — this help. she tells you about herself. iconic.
• -d, --device <n> — specify a particular device by serial number. got more than one HackRF plugged in? pick your fave by serial.
• -o, --address <n> — specify a particular operacake by address. the default is 0x00 if you don't say anything, so she just assumes.
• -m, --mode <mode> — specify switching mode. your options are: manual, frequency, time. choose wisely bestie.
• -a <port> — set port connected to port A0.
• -b <port> — set port connected to port B0.
• -f <min:max:port> — automatically assign <port> for range <min:max> in MHz. and guess what, you can repeat this argument to specify a list of ports. lowkey the most fun one.
• -t <port:dwell> — in time mode, dwell on <port> for <dwell> samples. if you only specify <port>, she uses the default dwell time (the one from -w). this argument can also be repeated to specify a list of ports. very repeatable, very slay.
• -w <n> — set default dwell time in samples for time mode.
• -l, --list — list available Opera Cake boards. window shopping, basically.
• -g, --gpio_test — test GPIO functionality of an Opera Cake. vibe check, but for pins.

the primary source of documentation is the wiki on github, and she said go read it:
