Official bladeRF forum

Hi
I have a general question regarding a wiphy :
Did you succeeded to connect to the commercial access point 802.11 and transfer data using bladeRF ? I mean receive a beacons using a DSSS and than proceed with the higher rates?

Another question which is more specific : I see that in the master version scrambler register for 802.11b (DSSS) is initiated with zeros, while in the 802.11b defined other string 1101100. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks
Dany

Hi Dany,

The bladeRF-wiphy with a BT-100 and BT-200 running on the bladeRF 2.0 micro xA9 should be able to communicate with 802.11 OFDM compatible devices. The bladeRF-wiphy supports the 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps OFDM rates for receive and transmit.
The bladeRF-wiphy includes a DSSS receiver for the 1Mbps rate, however faster DSSS rates and transmit and not supported as of the moment.

Regards,
Rob

Successful connection and data transmission depends on a variety of factors, including hardware and software compatibility, as well as the correct configuration of the device fnf and surrounding RF environment.

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place to post this query. I am trying to compile bladeRF-wiphy but I am having issues building bladeRF-mac80211_hwsim. Can you suggest me an ideal setup? As far as my understanding goes, I am having issues with linux kernel modules mismatch. I also tried installing DragonOs but no luck with that too. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards.

it's essential to note that the initialization of the scrambler can vary based on the implementation. The scrambler is designed to prevent long sequences of zeros and ones, and the specific initialization string (like 1101100) is used to achieve this

you can connect to a commercial 802.11 access point and transfer data using the BladeRF, including receiving beacons via DSSS. As for the scrambler initialization, you're right—the standard specifies 1101100. If your setup uses zeros, it might need adjustment to match the standard. that's not my neighbor
