info

Get radio hardware information

Syntax

info(dev)

hwinfo = info(dev)

Description

info(dev) returns information about the radio hardware specified by dev. The information includes the radio hardware name and version.

hwinfo = info(dev) returns the information in the structure array hwinfo.

Examples

Get Radio Hardware Information

Make sure your radio hardware is configured for host-radio communication by following the steps in Guided Host-Radio Hardware Setup.

Create a radio object for your radio hardware. For example:

dev = sdrdev('AD936x')

dev = 
  SDRDevAD936x with properties:

     IPAddress: '192.168.3.2'
    DeviceName: 'AD936x'

Use this object to get radio hardware information.

info(dev)

## Establishing connection to hardware. This process can take several seconds.

ans = struct with fields:
       Status: 'Full information'
       libiio: 'Host version: 0.17.g5bdc242'
          HDL: 'PCORE Version: 10.0b'
    Bitstream: 'Custom bitstream loaded, Path: /mnt/system.bit, MD5: 1c52c1d612b05eb53b23dd2a9474d8d2'

Input Arguments

dev — Interface to radio hardware

comm.SDRDevAD936x | comm.SDRDevFMCOMMS5

Interface to radio hardware, specified as one of the following objects:

• comm.SDRDevAD936x

• comm.SDRDevFMCOMMS5

To create these objects, use the sdrdev function.

Output Arguments

hwinfo — Information about the radio hardware

structure array

Information about the radio hardware specified by dev, returned as a structure array.

Tips

Before calling the info function, make sure the SD card configured during hardware setup is inserted into the reader of the radio hardware. You can also configure an SD card by using the downloadImage function.
