Thanks for your interest in the libIIO, a + C/C++ library that provides generic access to Industrial Input Output (IIO) + devices. IIO started as a Linux + kernel subsystem to support for devices that that included + analog-to-digital convertors (ADCs) and/or digital-to-analog convertors + (DACs). While the libIIO continues to provide an easy interface to the + Linux kernel IIO subsystem, it has also expanded beyond that, and is now + just as common to see this used inside an embedded system or hypervisor as + it is on a host PC.
+It is portable: Using a single cross-platform + API, it provides access to IIO devices on Linux, macOS, Windows, etc across + local and remote (USB, Network, Serial) devices. The library is composed by + one high-level API, and several backends:
+It is entirely user-mode: No special privilege or elevation is required + for the application to communicate with a device. One of the most powerful + things about libiio is its Remote Procedure + Call style interface. Moving backends from USB to Networking to local + embedded does not require any code changes. The users of the libIIO do not + need to code any differently for the remote interaction, making it easy to + move from remote (debug on PC over Ethernet) to local (deployed on embedded + Linux).
+Any host running Linux, macOS, Windows, or OpenBSD/NetBSD, should be + trivial to get libIIO running on. If you are interested in porting to other + hosts that support either networking (socket interface), libusb or serial, it should be very + straightforward. Pull Requests are + always reviewed, and well written ones are normally accepted.
+The local backend and Linux daemon can run on any embedded Linux based + system, from purpose built systems like PlutoSDR or ADALM2000 to Raspberry Pi or BeagleBoard to Jetson. + tiny-iiod + requires a modern C compiler and is known to work on a variety of non-Linux + frameworks including Mbed and FreeRTOS.
+If you are using Linux, chances are your distribution already includes + libIIO, so you probably just need to reference the iio.h + header in your source.
+For other platforms, you are encouraged to use one of our release + builds. If if you want to use the very latest, you have the option to + use a nightly build or build from source. Please check the Downloads + menu.
+If you prefer, you can also access the source directly from github.
+Once you have secured your access to the library and its header, please + check the libIIO API or the libIIO examples.
+The mainline library is built in C, can be used in C++, and has built in + bindings for Python and C# (C-Sharp). Node.js and Rust are maintained + outside the main repo. If you are interested in creating more language + bindings, please reach out to the + developers by posting an issue on github.
+If you have any questions regarding the libIIO or are experiencing any + problems following the documentation, or examples, feel free to ask us a + question. Generic libIIO questions can be asked on Github Issue + tracker. Since libIIO provides connectivity to the kernel's IIO + framework - many times the problem is actually in the driver. In this case, + contact your favourite kernel developer. If you are using an Analog Devices' component, feel free + to ask on their Linux support + forums.
+Use the libIIO with your favourite open source or commercial signal + processing framework, visualization tool or application.
+| Frameworks or Applications which use libIIO | +OS | +Description | +
|---|---|---|
| + + IIO Command Line Tools + | +Windows, Linux, macOS | ++ + iio_info, + iio_attr, + iio_readdev, + iio_writedev, + iio_reg for interacting with IIO devices from your favorite + shell. These are included in the default builds, but many + distributions package them into a separate libiio-utils package. + When you want to try a simple example, check these out. + | +

+ |
+ Windows, Linux, macOS | ++ Pyadi-iio + (pronounced peyote) is a python abstraction module for ADI hardware + with IIO drivers to make them easier to use. The libIIO interface, + although extremely flexible, can be cumbersome to use due to the + amount of boilerplate code required. This Python module has custom + interfaces classes for specific parts and development systems which + can generally make them easier to understand and use. + | +
+
+ 
+ |
+ Chrome OS | ++ the + libmems provides a set of wrapper and test helpers around + libIIO. + It is meant to provide a common foundation for Chrome OS to access + and interface IIO sensors + | +
|
+ |
+ + Windows, + Linux, macOS + | ++ Use libIIO to Connect MATLAB® and Simulink® to + PlutoSDR, ADRV9361-Z7035 + RF SoM, or AD9361 based evaluation boards, and other + RF + platforms, high + speed converters, and sensors + to prototype, verify, and test practical systems. Request a + + zero-cost trial and then explore and experiment with a variety + of + signal processing and radio examples. + | +
|
+ |
+ Linux, macOS | ++ GNU Radio is a Free and Open-Source Toolkit for Software Radio, + primarily supported on Linux operating systems. It has both + + generic IIO blocks, and blocks for specific IIO devices like + the PlutoSDR + | +
+
+  IIO
+ Oscilloscope
+ |
+ Windows, Linux | +The IIO Oscilloscope is an application, which demonstrates how to + interface various IIO devices to different visualization methods on + Linux and Windows | +
|
+ |
+ Windows, Linux | ++ SDRangel is + an Open Source Qt5 / OpenGL 3.0+ SDR and signal analyzer frontend + to various hardware. Check the discussion group and wiki. While SDRangel + seeks to be approachable, it is targeted towards the experienced + SDR user with some digital signal processing understanding. It + supports libIIO for the PlutoSDR, and can be extended to support + many other IIO devices. + | +
+  Scopy
+ |
+ Windows, Linux, macOS | ++ Scopy is a multi-functional software toolset that supports + traditional instrument interfaces with Oscilloscope, Spectrum + Analyzer, Network Analyzer, Signal Generator, Logic Analyzer, + Pattern Generator, Digital IO, Voltmeter, Power Supply interfaces + for the ADALM2000. It + is built in Qt5 in C++, and is available under a open source + license on github. + | +

+ + | + From idea to prototype to product, mangOH® is industrial-grade open + source hardware designed to address common IoT pain points and + deliver 90% of your prototype out-of-the-box so you can focus your + time and resources building the next killer IoT application and + bringing your products to market sooner. mangOH uses libIIO to interface with + real world sensors. + | +
The libIIO would not exist without the generous
+ support of Analog Devices (Nasdaq:
+ ADI), a leading global
+ high-performance analog technology company dedicated to solving the
+ toughest engineering challenges. While many of the developers
+ are full time ADI employees, libIIO is released and distributed as an
+ open source (LGPL and GPL) library for all to use (under the terms and
+ obligations of the License).
