Guide to New Rig backend creation?


 

Afternoon All...? (From a wet day in the UK.)

Some time ago (back in the day of Linux Mint 15!), I helped "flesh out" a new(ish) backend for the Kenwood TS870.? Receiving much welcome help and hints from Dave and Ed via this list.

Sometime later (years.) ? ISTR there was mention of (or proposal for) a documented guide for a "How to" showing the correct way to create a new radio backend for Flrig, doing that either based on an existing similar rig, or new "from scratch".

I also seem to recall, Dave 'HKJ sent me something around the same time, but can I find that, anywhere?? Of course not.? Even if I could, I suspect things have changed within Flrig since then...?? I can't see anything in the wiki area either.

So, is there an up-to-date document anywhere, describing how to create and integrate a new radio backend these days?

Only ask as I have acquired an Icom IC-R9000 for the shack, and would like to "integrate it into the fold" as it were.
(Hamlib knows of the radio, but that's not entirely complete, and is very buggy too, though it proves that the USB<>CIV device and radio work OK together.)

Any info re the above welcome.
