APPENDIX D
RVP900 DEVELOPER'S NOTES
This appendix describes the software environment that is provided to third-
party developer’s who wish to customize the RVP900 (and RVP8)
algorithms to meet their particular needs. This information only applies to
the few organizations who have signed the Vaisala Software Developer’s
License Agreement. The vast majority of operators and users can skip this
entire appendix, as it is not relevant to your operational and scientific
needs.
D.1 Organization of the RDA Software
The Vaisala RVP900 is an open-architecture radar signal processor that
uses Gigabit Ethernet to interface to the IFDR, which samples the data. The
RVP900 software runs under standard RedHat Linux, and is developed and
maintained using standard GNU tools (for example, gcc, gdb, make, etc.)
Therefore, the RVP900 builds on generic high-volume PC hardware
running the Linux kernel and GNU tool set. These building blocks are all
mainstream, open, active technology, thus assuring the RVP900 is a solid
open environment for many years to come.
The larger RDA software collection, which includes the RVP900 within it,
is organized into the following tree (a brief description of the contents and
purpose of each directory is given):
