About:
SoapyHackRF is a hardware driver module for SoapySDR that enables software-defined radio (SDR) applications to interface with Great Scott Gadgets HackRF devices. It provides a bridge between the HackRF hardware and the SoapySDR API, allowing developers to use HackRF hardware with any SDR software that supports the SoapySDR framework. This module supports key HackRF features including adjustable sample rates, gain controls, and antenna selection.

Key Features:

Full HackRF One device support via SoapySDR API
Configurable sample rates and gain controls
Antenna selection and switching capabilities
Support for both transmit and receive modes
Integration with existing SoapySDR-based software

Use Cases:

RF spectrum analysis and monitoring
Software-defined radio development and testing
Wireless protocol research and reverse engineering
Educational SDR experiments and demonstrations

Alternatives:

hackrf – Native HackRF command-line tools that don't provide SoapySDR compatibility
rtlsdr – Alternative SDR hardware with different capabilities and lower frequency range
