Python bindings for XTRX

[WilfredoLora]

Has anyone been successful in building a python3 binding for the XTRX?

Part of the problem seems to be that the instruction in README.md :

git submodule update

Leaves all the individual submodule repositories in detatched head stale states.

It took a long time but figured out that my xtrx_api.h header file was old after fresh build:

curt@nye:/usr/local/include$ ls -alh xtrx_api.h 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15K Jan 10 16:36 xtrx_api.h

and had the old xtrx_open_list in it:

/** Open XTRX device form semicolon separated device list
 * @param devices   Path to XTRX devices, semicolon separated (returned from xtrx_discovery)
 * @param flags     Semicolon separated flags. Can be NULL.
 * @param[out] dev  XTRX device handle
 * @return number of devices on success, errno on error
 *
 * When @ref devices is NULL only first enumerated device is created.
 * Only 'loglevel' flag is parsed.
 */
XTRX_API int xtrx_open_list(const char* devices, const char* flags, struct xtrx_dev** dev);

Here is the git submodule state after the 'git submodule update' command:

curt@nye:~/src/images$ git submodule foreach git branch -v
Entering 'sources/liblms7002m'

  master                     5ae3a3e aarch64: fixup DMA for RK3399

I am now trying a build with:

git submodule foreach git checkout master

which gives the submodule status:

curt@nye:~/src/images$ git submodule foreach git branch -v
Entering 'sources/liblms7002m'
* master b07761b Migration to Python 3
Entering 'sources/libusb3380'
* master c83d1e9 fix Windows build

* master 1b6eddf Fixing typos (#5)
Entering 'sources/xtrx_linux_pcie_drv'
* master 5ae3a3e aarch64: fixup DMA for RK3399

anyway really hopes this explains things!
