This is a rust API for the [HackRF One] software defined radio.

This is not a wrapper around `libhackrf`, this is a re-implementation of
`libhackrf` in rust, using the [rusb] `libusb` wrappers.
`libhackrf` in rust, using the [nusb] user-space rust library.


This is currently in an **experimental** state, and it is incomplete.
For full feature support use the official `libhackrf` C library.

This is tested only on Linux, but it will likely work on other platforms where
`libhackrf` works.

## USB user-space access
Adapted from [nusb-linux-setup].
This is only needed if you want to run as non-root user, although the initial setup does require sudo.
1. ```shell
# Create a `udev` rule
echo 'SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d50", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6089", MODE="0660", GROUP="hackrfone"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hackrfone-usb.rules
```
2. ```shell
# Add current user to group
sudo groupadd hackrfone
sudo usermod -aG hackrfone $USER
```
3. Best to restart the system now so new group shows up and device is mapped correctly
