rtlsdr-pure

Pure Rust implementation of librtlsdr

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/rtlsdr-pure

Purpose

Makes it easier and cleaner to access RTL SDR from the browser.

Status

Vibe coded test. The LLM took more than a sneak peak at https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr/, so this is a derived work of that, with the same GPL license.

If you get error claiming interface, in the browser

USB communication failed: NetworkError: Failed to execute 'claimInterface' on 'USBDevice': Unable to claim interface"

Then the kernel may have claimed it for the DVB driver. You can either unload the DVB kernel modules (if they're modules), or just tell the driver to unbind it.

You can find the device path with:

$ lsusb -t
Bus 001.[…]
    |__ Port 003: Dev 061, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=dvb_usb_rtl28xxu, 480M

The format is <bus-port>:<config>.<interface>.

echo '1-3:1.0' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/dvb_usb_rtl28xxu/unbind
