Build System Integration

The project uses the Flipper Build Tool (fbt) with the following configuration:

# application.fam
App(
    appid="flipper_rf_lab",
    name="Flipper RF Lab",
    apptype=FlipperAppType.EXTERNAL,
    entry_point="flipper_rf_lab_main",
    cdefines=["APP_FLIPPER_RF_LAB"],
    requires=["gui", "storage", "notification"],
    fap_icon="icon.png",
    fap_category="RF",
)

Testing Strategy

Test Type Coverage Method
Unit Tests Math, Compression, Statistics Host-based (x86)
Integration Analysis engines Flipper emulator
Hardware CC1101, SD card Physical device
Performance Timing, memory On-device profiling
Field RF capture, range Real-world signals

Known Limitations

  1. Flipper SDK Headers: Build requires actual Flipper SDK (headers not included)
  2. Hardware Testing: Full testing requires physical Flipper Zero device
  3. RF Regulations: User must comply with local RF transmission laws
  4. Memory: Complex analysis limited by 256KB RAM constraint
  5. Display: 128x64 LCD limits visualization detail

Next Steps for Deployment

  1. Install Flipper SDK: git clone https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware
  2. Copy Application: Place flipper_rf_lab in applications_user/
  3. Build: Run ./fbt fap_flipper_rf_lab
  4. Flash: Connect Flipper Zero and run ./fbt fap_flipper_rf_lab flash
  5. Test: Verify all 15 features on target hardware
