AirStack 2.1.0

 

9 April 2025

 

The Deepwave team is pleased to announce the release of AirStack 2.1. This is a major release that builds upon AirStack 2.0 by adding new features that allow users to leverage the novel AIR7310 hardware.

New Features

  • New Upgrade Tool - AirStack 2.1 is the first release to feature Deepwave's new upgrade tool. After hearing customer feedback surrounding issues upgrading AIR-Ts, we created a new intuitive tool that is used to flash/update the AIR7310. Details surrounding this new tool can be found here
  • Master Clock Rate Control - The master clock rate can now be controlled on the device through the SoapySDR API, allowing for much greater flexibility in the sample rates that can be supported. For details, please see the related section in the updated programming guide.
  • LED Control - Each channel's respective LED will now illuminate green when the channel is actively in use (i.e., transmitting/receiving samples).
  • Updated Documentation - Tutorials, examples, and other related documentation have been fully revised and corrected for AirStack 2.0+.
  • Conda Support - conda environments are now supported out of the box, similar to the workflow found in previous versions of AirStack. See the conda tutorial for details.
  • Docker Support - Docker containers are now supported on the newer generation hardware. This tutorial is provided for users interested in this workflow.

Bug Fixes

  • Calibration Signals - Signals will no longer be emitted from the unit when calibrations are run.

Availability

All new AIR7310-B AIR-Ts are compatible with AirStack 2.1. Earlier models (AIR7101, AIR7201, AIR8201) should continue to use AirStack 1.0.

Customers with an AIR7310 should upgrade their units with the newly provided software tool.
