CaribouLite is an open-source, OSHWA-certified SDR HAT that turns 40-pin Raspberry Pi boards into a dual-channel Tx/Rx software-defined radio covering up to 6GHz. The repository contains the driver software, SoapySDR API integration, kernel module, and FPGA tooling for the hardware.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into an sdr transceiver
- receive and transmit rf signals up to 6ghz
- learn software defined radio with cheap hardware
- build a dual-channel sdr for research
- use soapy sdr api with a raspberry pi hat
- rf experimentation and hacking on rpi zero
When to choose
- you have a 40-pin Raspberry Pi (not RPi5) and want an affordable open-source SDR
- you want SoapySDR-compatible hardware for GNU Radio or custom RF apps
- you need an educational, OSHWA-certified SDR platform
When to avoid
- you use a Raspberry Pi 5, which is unsupported due to SMI removal
- you need a standalone SDR without a Raspberry Pi host
- you need production-grade RF performance rather than an evaluation/educational board
