HYDRASDR_CLOCKGEN(7)

💖 HYDRASDR_CLOCKGEN 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the hydrasdr_clockgen(7) manual page — this is section 7 of the manual, under User Commands, and it's all about the HydraSDR Clock Generator Tool ✨

✨ NAME ✨

hydrasdr_clockgen — HydraSDR Clock Generator Tool. that's her. that's the whole name. iconic. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, what does she even do? She Query, Read, and Write device clock registers. that's it, that's the gig, and she does it flawlessly no cap 💅

🎀 USAGE 🎀

yes bestie, just the command plus whatever options you wanna feed her 🫶

# 💜 OPTIONS 💜

every single flag, and I mean *every* one, right here:

- **`-c`, `--config`** — prints out textual configuration information. like a lil vibe check on your setup, but in words. 🦋
- **`-n`, `--register <n>`** — sets the register number, and that number has to be between `[0-255]`. this is the register that all your subsequent read/write operations are gonna be pointed at. pick your target, bestie 🎯
- **`-r`, `--read`** — reads the register that you specified with the last `-n` argument — or, if you didn't point at one, she reads *all* the registers. generous queen 💖
- **`-w`, `--write <v>`** — writes to the register specified by the last `-n` argument, and it writes the value `<v>` in there. ✍️
- **`-s` *serial_number_64bits*** — opens the board with the specified 64-bit serial number. got multiple boards? this is how you say *"not you, her"* 🌈
- **`-h`** — shows help. when in doubt, `-h` it out 🙈

# ⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

the receipts, fr fr. these are exactly as written:

<command> -n 12 -r # reads from register 12

<command> -r # reads all registers

<command> -n 10 -w 22 # writes register 10 with 22 decimal

see how `-n` sets the target and then `-r` or `-w` does the thing? that's the whole flow, you got this 🧚

> lowkey important reminder: `-n` only matters for what comes *after* it. set the register first, then read or write. don't skip that step or you're just out here vibing with no target 😭
