Extending the bladeRF Sample Rate

The 2023.02 release adds the capability of extending the bladeRF’s sampling rate and the addition of 8-bit mode. This update takes advantage of the hidden AD9361 overclocking feature and overcomes the throughput limitation by adopting a new multi-sample packing architecture. The following features have been added.

• AD9361 Overclock to 122.88MSPS IQ samples
• 8-bit Mode Support: LibbladeRF and FPGA
• 8-bit Mode Support: BladeRF CLI
• 8-bit Mode Support: OsmoSDR  and gr-bladeRF
• `generate` function added to CLI

Be sure to check out the updated API docs for more details on the new 8-bit mode. The update is available on bladeRF releases.
