# Tutorials

- Step-by-step tutorials to set up 5G:
  * [OAI 5GC](./NR_SA_Tutorial_OAI_CN5G.md)

  * [OAI NR-UE](./NR_SA_Tutorial_OAI_nrUE.md)
- [RUNMODEM.md](./RUNMODEM.md): Generic information on how to
  * Run simulators
  * Run with hardware
  * Specific OAI modes (phy-test, do-ra, noS1)
  * (5G) Using SDAP and custom DRBs
  * IF setups and arbitrary frequencies
  * MIMO

# Libraries

## General

- The [T tracer](../common/utils/T/DOC/T.md): a generic tracing tool (VCD, Wireshark, GUI, to save for later, ...)
- [OPT](../openair2/UTIL/OPT/README.txt): how to trace to wireshark
- The [configuration module](../common/config/DOC/config.md)
- The [logging module](../common/utils/LOG/DOC/log.md)
- The [shared object loader](../common/utils/DOC/loader.md)
- The [threadpool](../common/utils/threadPool/thread-pool.md) used in L1
- The [LDPC implementation](../openair1/PHY/CODING/DOC/LDPCImplementation.md) is a shared library

## SDRs

Some directories under `radio` contain READMEs:

- [RFsimulator](../radio/rfsimulator/README.md)
- [USRP](../radio/USRP/README.md)
- [BladeRF](../radio/BLADERF/README)
- [IQPlayer](../radio/iqplayer/DOC/iqrecordplayer_usage.md), and [general documentation](./iqrecordplayer_usage.md)

The other SDRs (AW2S, LimeSDR, ...) have no READMEs.

## Special-purpose libraries

- OAI has two scopes, one based on Xforms, one on Qt5, described in [this README](../openair1/PHY/TOOLS/readme.md)
- OAI comes with an integrated [telnet server](../common/utils/telnetsrv/DOC/telnethelp.md) to monitor and control
- OAI comes with an integrated [web server](../common/utils/websrv/DOC/websrv.md)

# Testing

- [UnitTests.md](./UnitTests.md) explains the unit testing setup
- [TESTBenches.md](./TESTBenches.md) lists the CI setup and links to pipelines
