tezuka (name referenced to pluto) aims to be Universal Zynq/AD9363 firmware builder for plutosdr board and other boards: PlutoSDR, Pluto+, AntSDR (e200), LibreSDR.
Target of tezuka firmware is to maximize features of the board and integrate interesting projects on multi-target boards.
- Frequencies extension : 47.5Mhz-6Ghz
- Switch RX1/RX2 , TX1/TX2 seamlessly
- Complex 8bit mode to extend streaming bandwidth with host (14Mhz stable bandwidth through usb, 45MHz through GbE network)
- Audio gadget to be recognized as a soundcard (virtual cable not needed anymore)
- SD boot support : easy update, no risk of flashing, high amount of memory
- Include Maia-sdr transparently
- Many other (need to be documented)
ADI launch PlutoSDR as a learning platform and it is ! But since 2 years, updates are mainly focused on expensive phaser (around 2500 Euros) product https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/circuits-from-the-lab/cn0566
Thus, official firmware updates are no longer focus on new features for SDR enthusiastic people.
- In release section (https://github.com/F5OEO/tezuka_fw/releases)
- Choose your right firmware depending on hardware and software, depending on name.
- Download your selected configuration on https://github.com/F5OEO/tezuka_fw/releases
- Unzip it. If you have a board with SD card, prefere this way for updating your firmware.
Use one the method :
- Flash on memory : paste pluto.frm to pluto drive and eject (detailed update procedure https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/firmware)
- Write SD card : Copy contents of sdimg folder to a fresh FAT32 card formated.
A soon as firmware is updated, you could see a usb drive with parameters in config.txt (orginal parameters are described at (https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/customizing)
- Satdump (https://github.com/F5OEO/SatDump)
- sdr++ (https://github.com/F5OEO/SDRPlusPlus)
- Soapy based software(https://github.com/F5OEO/SoapyPlutoPAPR)
Other great SDR software could use soon new features (SDRConsole, SDRAngel...), stay tuned !
