This fixes bug #1042, which occured when an RX->OFF->RX sequence happened quickly enough that the loop in rx_mode() did not see the change. As a result, the enable_baseband_streaming() call at the start of that function was not repeated for the new RX operation, so RX progress stalled. To solve this, the vendor request handler now increments a sequence number when it changes the transceiver mode. Instead of the RX loop checking whether the transceiver mode is still RX, it now checks whether the current sequence number is the same as when it was started. If not, there must have been at least one mode change, so the loop exits, and the main loop starts the necessary loop for the new mode. The same behaviour is implemented for the TX and sweep loops. For this approach to be reliable, we must ensure that when deciding which mode and sequence number to use, we take both values from the same set_transceiver_mode request. To achieve this, we briefly disable the USB0 interrupt to stop the vendor request handler from running whilst reading the mode and sequence number together. Then the loop dispatch proceeds using those pre-read values.
The primary firmware source code for USB HackRF devices is hackrf_usb. Most of the other directories contain firmware source code for test and development. The common directory contains source code shared by multiple HackRF firmware projects. The cpld directory contains HDL source for the CPLD. The firmware is set up for compilation with the GCC toolchain available here: https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads Required dependency: https://github.com/mossmann/libopencm3 If you are using git, the preferred way to install libopencm3 is to use the submodule: $ cd .. $ git submodule init $ git submodule update To build and install a standard firmware image for HackRF One: $ cd hackrf_usb $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. $ make $ hackrf_spiflash -w hackrf_usb.bin If you have a Jawbreaker, add -DBOARD=JAWBREAKER to the cmake command. If you have a rad1o, use -DBOARD=RAD1O instead. It is possible to use a USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) method to load firmware into RAM. This is normally only required to recover a device that has had faulty firmware loaded, but it can also be useful for firmware developers. For loading firmware into RAM with DFU you will need: http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/ To start up HackRF One in DFU mode, hold down the DFU button while powering it on or while pressing and releasing the RESET button. Release the DFU button after the 3V3 LED illuminates. A .dfu file is built by default when building firmware. Alternatively you can use a known good .dfu file from a release package. Load the firmware into RAM with: $ dfu-util --device 1fc9:000c --alt 0 --download hackrf_usb.dfu
