pyadi-iio: Device Specific Python Interfaces For IIO Drivers

To simplify the use of different devices a python package was created interface with the different IIO drivers. The module pyadi-iio, provides device-specific APIs built on top of the current libIIO python bindings. These interfaces try to match the driver naming as much as possible without the need to understand the complexities of libIIO and IIO. In general, if you are familiar with python this is a great starting point for using different ADI parts and can even run on some ADI development systems as well.

Installation

First, make sure you have libIIO installed with the associated python bindings, and that they are on your python path. Next you can install the module. This can be done from the source code itself: 

tcollins@jeeves:~$ git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/pyadi-iio.git
tcollins@jeeves:~$ cd pyadi-iio
tcollins@jeeves:~$ (sudo) python setup.py install

Or through pip: 

tcollins@jeeves:~$ (sudo) pip install pyadi-iio

Prerequisites

pyadi-iio requires libiio, the libiio python bindings, and numpy. To check if you have the necessary libiio bindings installed run the following: 

dave@hal:~$ python3
Python 3.6.8 (default, Jan 14 2019, 11:02:34) 
[GCC 8.0.1 20180414 (experimental) [trunk revision 259383]] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import iio
>>> iio.version
(0, 18, 'eec5616')

If you have installed the libiio bindings already and you get an import error, it may not be on path. One way to do this is to add the default install path within python itself 

import sys
try:
    import iio
except:
    # By default the iio python bindings are not in path
    sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/')
    import iio

Linux

Linux needs to built from source to get the necessary bindings. Note that since v0.19 libiio requires cmake flags to enable the python bindings during installation.

Windows

Post this commit, Windows installers will include the necessary bindings. Otherwise, downloading the latest Appveyor artifacts include the python installers.

macOS

Like Linux, libiio on macOS can be built from source to get the necessary bindings. Note that since v0.19 libiio requires cmake flags to enable the python bindings during installation. The bindings are included with the recent pkg's.

Examples

Devices specific examples are available in the source repo, and the sphinx doc, but here is the basic idea 

# Import library
import adi
# Create radio object
sdr = adi.Pluto()
# Configure properties
sdr.rx_rf_bandwidth = 4000000
# Get data
data = sdr.rx()

Documentation

All documentation is available on GitHub.

Supported Devices/Parts

See repo readme for supported hardware.
