NAME

       rtl-eeprom - EEPROM programming tool for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

DESCRIPTION

       Dumps  configuration and also writes EEPROM configuration.  Written by Steve Markgraf and incorporated in
       the osmocom rtl-sdr project.

       Use at your own risk, especially -w!

       Much software is available for the RTL2832. Most of the user-level packages rely on the librtlsdr library
       which  comes  as  part of the rtl-sdr codebase. This codebase contains both the library itself and also a
       number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr, rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. These command line tools use
       the  library to test for the existence of RTL2832 devices and to perform basic data transfer functions to
       and from the device.

       Because most of the RTL2832 devices are connected using USB, the librtlsdr library depends on the  libusb
       library to communicate with the device.

USAGE

       Writing bad information to the EEPROM will make your device useless.

SYNOPSIS

       rtl_eeprom [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS

       -d device_index (default: 0)

       -m <str> set manufacturer string

       -p <str> set product string

       -s <str> set serial number string

       -i <0,1> disable/enable IR-endpoint
