NAME
       rfnoc_modtool - RFNoC OOT module	management tool

DESCRIPTION
       Create and manage RFNoC OOT modules.

SYNOPSIS
       rfnoc_modtool [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

COMMANDS
       Run  rfnoc_modtool  COMMAND  --help  for	more information on a specific
       command.

       create Create a new RFNoC OOT module.

       add    Add a new	block to an existing RFNoC OOT module.

       add-gr-oot
	      Add GNU Radio OOT	Module.

       add-gr-block
	      Add GNU Radio block to an	existing GNU Radio OOT module.

       add-grc
	      Add GNU Radio GRC	bindings for an	existing block in  this	 RFNoC
	      OOT module.

       make-yaml
	      YAML  Creation Wizard -- Generate	an RFNoC block YAML descriptor
	      file based on user input.

CREATING NEW MODULES
       When running rfnoc_modtool create, a new	directory will be created that
       contains	the necessary files for	a new RFNoC OOT	module.	This directory
       will only contain boilerplate code, and the user	will need to add their
       own blocks to the module.

       By calling 'rfnoc_modtool add-gr-oot', the user can add a GNU Radio OOT
       module inside the RFNoC OOT module.

ADDING BLOCKS
       When running rfnoc_modtool add, a new block will	be added to an	exist-
       ing  RFNoC  OOT module.	This requires previously having	run rfnoc_mod-
       tool create to create the module.

       Note that in order for 'rfnoc_modtool add' to succeed,  the  user  must
       provide a block descriptor file in YAML format. This file describes the
       block  and  its parameters.  The	user can create	this file manually, or
       use the YAML Creation Wizard by running	rfnoc_modtool  make-yaml.  The
       wizard  will  prompt the	user for the necessary information to create a
       valid YAML file.

       Once blocks have	been created, the user can add native GNU Radio	blocks
       to enable more precise control over RFNoC blocks	from GNU Radio by run-
       ning 'rfnoc_modtool add-gr-block'.

       To add GNU Radio	GRC bindings for the blocks, call 'rfnoc_modtool  add-
       grc'.

EXAMPLES
   Create a new	RFNoC OOT module called	filter
       rfnoc_modtool create filter
       cd rfnoc-filter

   Use the YAML	Creation Wizard	to create a block descriptor file
       rfnoc_modtool make-yaml

   After  editing  the	fir.yml	 file  to describe the FIR filter block, add a
       block called fir	to the filter module
       rfnoc_modtool add fir

   Now add a GNU Radio OOT module
       rfnoc_modtool add-gr-oot

   Add a GNU Radio block to the	filter module to control the FIR  RFNoC	 block
       (e.g., for better integration into the GNU Radio	filter design tool)
       rfnoc_modtool add-gr-block --gr-blockname rfnoc_fir fir

   Expose this new block into GRC
       rfnoc_modtool add-grc --binding-type native fir
