librtlsdr-rs 0.2.0

//! Pure-Rust port of librtlsdr — RTL2832U USB control + tuner drivers.
//!
//! Talks to RTL-SDR dongles directly over USB via [`rusb`], without the
//! C `librtlsdr` library or its headers. Covers all five tuner families
//! shipped in real-world dongles (R820T / R820T2 / R828D, E4000,
//! FC0012, FC0013, FC2580).
//!
//! # Quick start
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use librtlsdr_rs::{RtlSdrDevice, RtlSdrError};
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), RtlSdrError> {
//! // Open the first dongle plugged in.
//! let mut dev = RtlSdrDevice::open(0)?;
//!
//! // Tune to 100 MHz, 2.048 Msps.
//! dev.set_center_freq(100_000_000)?;
//! dev.set_sample_rate(2_048_000)?;
//!
//! // Manual gain at 14.4 dB (= 144 in tenths-of-dB).
//! dev.set_tuner_gain_mode(true)?;
//! dev.set_tuner_gain(144)?;
//!
//! // Read 64 KB of interleaved I/Q samples.
//! dev.reset_buffer()?;
//! let mut buf = vec![0u8; 65_536];
//! let n = dev.read_sync(&mut buf)?;
//! assert!(n > 0);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Public surface
//!
//! The committed surface is intentionally narrow:
//!
//! - [`RtlSdrDevice`] — the device handle. All control + streaming
//!   methods live here. Open via [`RtlSdrDevice::open`].
//! - Free enumeration helpers — [`get_device_count`],
//!   [`get_device_name`], [`get_device_usb_strings`],
//!   [`get_index_by_serial`].
//! - [`RtlSdrError`] — the unified error type returned by every
//!   fallible operation.
//! - [`TunerType`] — the IC family identifier returned by
//!   [`RtlSdrDevice::tuner_type`].
//!
//! Sample values are interleaved unsigned 8-bit I/Q pairs, the native
//! RTL-SDR format. Convert to centred `i8` (or `f32` in `[-1, 1]`) at
//! the consumer if needed; we don't impose a sample type on the read
//! path.
//!
//! # USB context + threading
//!
//! [`RtlSdrDevice`] holds an `Arc<rusb::DeviceHandle>` internally so
//! the device handle can be cloned across threads — `rusb::DeviceHandle`
//! is `Sync`, which makes the type *shareable* between threads. The
//! control methods on [`RtlSdrDevice`] take `&mut self` and serialise
//! on the caller; that's the supported single-thread pattern.
//!
//! For raw bulk reads on a worker thread (e.g. an `rtl_tcp`-style
//! server), call [`RtlSdrDevice::usb_handle`] to clone the underlying
//! handle and use [`RtlSdrDevice::BULK_ENDPOINT`] for the endpoint
//! address. **Note that `Sync` alone does not guarantee that
//! concurrent bulk and control transfers on the same handle are
//! safe** — `rusb`'s docs don't make that claim explicitly, and
//! libusb's caveats restrict per-resource concurrent access. If you
//! mix concurrent bulk and control on one handle, treat it as an
//! unsupported design assumption you've verified against your
//! libusb version + dongle hardware. The safer pattern is to
//! quiesce control calls (or do them all from one thread) while a
//! bulk-read worker is in flight.
//!
//! # Faithful-port note
//!
//! The crate is a port of the C `librtlsdr` source — register
//! addresses, magic constants, and per-tuner I2C tables are
//! transcribed directly from the upstream code. Some internal items
//! aren't currently called from Rust but are kept for completeness so
//! future hardware-feature work is a register-table read away rather
//! than a re-port. Hardware register manipulation requires extensive
//! integer casts inherent in a faithful port of C driver code.

// table read away rather than a re-port. Scoped `dead_code` allow

// `tuner` is the internal abstraction layer over the five tuner-IC

// I2C transactions need direct USB control-transfer access — that's
// not a shape we want in the committed semver surface. External
// consumers control the tuner through `RtlSdrDevice` methods
// (`set_tuner_gain`, `set_tuner_bandwidth`, etc.) which dispatch
// internally to the right backend. Per #630 CR round 1.
