YateBTS
To use the bladeRF 2.0 micro with YateBTS, please see Nuand's libbladeRF based YateBTS Release Candidate 3 (RC-3) link below:
Before compiling Yate and YateBTS from the following tarballs, ensure libbladeRF (Github) is built from bladeRF commit hash 3a411c8. To fetch libbladeRF commit 3a411c8 try the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git
$ cd bladeRF
$ git reset --hard 3a411c87c2416dc68030d5823d73ebf3f797a145
$ ls
Once fetched, continue following the rest of the building from source instructions, continuing at the Configure the build step.
After libbladeRF is installed, download the latest RC Yate/YateBTS tarball, and follow the rest of the Github wiki instructions from step "Building and Installing Yate & YateBTS".
Prior to starting yate in this step load the appropriate bladeRF device and size specific v0.11.1 FPGA RBF included in the tarball.
