  Sora SDK ver 1.6 is now available!
  Kun Tan 22 Maret 2012 6:22

  We are pleased to announce the new release of Sora SDK ver 1.6 - the best Sora software we have released so far!

  You can download it from MSR Web site: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ca9a93a1-2a38-4e3d-b87c-b7e8ddc46eae

  Sora SDK ver 1.6 newly introduces following prominent features:

  • New UMX API. Sora SDK ver 1.6 introduces a new set of UMX
    API that is more flexible, secure and has better performance.
  • UMX Reflection. Sora SDK ver 1.6 now supports a new reflection mechanism that allows the
    programmer easily integrates the user-mode software radio modem into the
    Windows network stack.
  • Brick library. One most prominent feature in Sora SDK ver 1.6 is the Brick library. Brick is a
    modular programming library for high-performance digital signal processing. It is easy to program,
    flexible and highly extensible.
  • UMXSDRab utility. UMXSDRab is a powerful SDR 802.11 modem
    based on UMX reflection. It supports both client mode and adhoc mode. So it can
    easily connect to a commercial 802.11 AP or device. UMXSDRab has an easy-to-use
    interactive interface to configure and monitor the status of SDR modem
    application.
  • DbgPlot tool. DbgPlot is a versatile tool that allows a
    program to dynamically generate various graphics in real-time. It is a very
    useful tool for real-time monitoring or debugging DSP programs.

  Sora Manual is available!
  Kun Tan 09 Februari 2011 8:47

  Hi,

  It takes quite some time for the team to edit a full document for the Sora platform.

  And now, here it comes. The latest Sora Manual contains the latest information of the Sora platform, including the basic usage, tools, programming samples and references of APIs.

  We hope it will give you a handy reference to understand Sora better and help you get hands on it.

  We'd say the manual may still contain many mistakes and miss some information. So if you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.

  You can download the manual here at http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/?id=144847

  Thanks,

  The Sora Core Team

  Sora Dump File Format
  Kun Tan 01 Desember 2010 13:13

  Dut tool or dot11config can capture a snapshot of the wireless channel and store the raw I/Q samples into a file located at c:\. The post explains the format of the dump file.

  The dump file is basically a binary file that contains an array of RX descriptors. A RX descriptor (RX_DESC) is defined as follows:

  typedef union ___RX_DESC
  {
  #pragma warning(disable: 4200 4214 4201)
      struct
      {
          union{
              struct
              {
                  UCHAR   __IsValid     : 1;
                  UCHAR   __IsScanned   : 1;
                  UCHAR   __Reserved    : 6;
              };
              UCHAR   __Flags;
          } u;

          UCHAR    __Reserved2;
          USHORT   __DataSize;
          UCHAR    __Reserved3[12];
          UCHAR    __bData[0];
      };
     
      COMPLEX16    Samples[SORA_RX_SIGNAL_UNIT_COMPLEX16_NUM];
      COMPLEX8     SmallSamples[SORA_RX_SIGNAL_UNIT_COMPLEX8_NUM];
  #pragma warning(default: 4200 4214 4201)
  }RX_DESC, *PRX_DESC;

  The signal block is of 128 Bytes, with a header (RX_DESC) and 28 complex samples (COMPLEX16).

  For detailed information of signal blocks, please refore _rx_manager.h.
