The Deepwave Digital team is happy to announce the release of AirStack 0.5.5, a minor release that addresses several bugs and increases frequency tuning performance. This upgrade may be performed in minutes without re-imaging the AIR-T system.

Patch Notes

  • Corrected sample rate settings for AIR-T models 7201 and 8201 for certain corner cases.
  • Fixed the sample rate reported by getSampleRate() to be the actual sample rate applied by the device. Recommend calling getSampleRate() after setSampleRate() to check what sample rate was actually applied due to the supported precision of the firmware.
  • Dramatically reduced the amount of time to apply a new frequency setting (roughly 200–350 ms reduction in tuning time based on use case).
  • Fixed an issue where an exception would be raised when attempting to set the frequency while a stream was recovering from a data transfer error.
  • Corrected an issue where an initial set of samples would be corrupted when changing frequency with an active stream.
  • Report the master clock rate of the device based on the device clock of the AD9371.
  • Improve signal integrity of AIR8201-B model by disabling the low-band reference clock when low-band is not active.

Download

The AIR-T upgraded software is available for customers to download in the Developer Portal.

Please note that upgrading from AirStack 0.5.0+ does not require a complete re-flash of the AIR-T. Upgrading from earlier releases does require a re-flash, however. Please see the associated installation procedures for further details.
