Control programs for the Per Vices Noctar board

What it does

Utilities for the Per Vices Noctar, an IQ demodulator board, providing the host-side control its FPGA design expects.

Why you would want it

Only with the hardware, which was produced in small numbers well over a decade ago. Carried so that an operator who has one finds an entry rather than silence -- the Blend lists it as hardware-specific for the same reason.

Before it will work

A Per Vices Noctar board.

How it installs

  • apt: langford-utils

Known problems

The version is a 2013 date and nothing has changed upstream since; Per Vices has moved to entirely different products. Treat this as archival support. Do not go looking for the hardware on the strength of this entry.

Keeping it current

  • probe: apt policy
  • strategy: apt_upgrade

Where to get help with the software itself

Per Vices. The company is active and this product line is not, so support for the board itself is unlikely to be available.
