Low level library for wideband SDR receivers

Firmware versions

The firmware binary in the repository seems to be incompatible with the library, or at least I couldn't get sddc_stream_test working properly (tried on two different computers).

I finally got it working using firmware from https://groups.io/g/NextGenSDRs/topic/binary_builds_of_extio_sddc/78738204?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,78738204
and the latest commit 967eb2f.

I think I tried all 4 combinations of that groups.io firmware, older firmware from the repository, commit 967eb2f and commit 5139e6a, and the combination above was the only one that worked for me.

Maybe it's something to do with "rejected 1 configuration due to insufficient available bus power" errors I got in dmesg with the old firmware, although I could apparently circumvent the problem with a trick from: https://blog.famzah.net/2010/08/11/usb-rejected-1-configuration-due-to-insufficient-available-bus-power/

But anyway, the latest firmware from that groups.io link didn't give those errors either, so the problem seems to be fixed already.

To avoid confusion like this, maybe the firmware binary in the repository should be updated, or just deleted and replaced with a link to a working version.

I just got the FX3 Explorer Kit a few days ago and now I'm just trying to get started, so it's possible that I'm doing something wrong too!
