Within the Firmware user guide (v1.1) there is said to be a simple example SPI API given in the DWM1001 Host API package. However, after downloading this package from the official decawave website (https://www.decawave.com/products/dwm1001-module - a couple of times to make sure) and navigating to the /Source_Code/dwm1001_host_api folder, it is empty.
Is this another case similar to the bluetooth api where it is deemed not ready for public consumption?
Hi Kevin,
[color=#333333][size=small]/Source_Code/dwm1001_host_api folder is actually a rar archive[/size][size=small] and is not empty.[/size][/color]
[color=#333333][size=small]Can you try to download the file again and extract it to make sure there wasn’t an error ?[/size][/color]
[color=#333333][size=small]Thanks[/size][/color]

I have redownloaded (now v4 rather than the previous v3) and still get the same issue. The folder appears empty when extracted using Archive Manager. When extracting via console:
I unzip the entire folder
$ unzip DWM1001_DWM1001-DEV_MDEK1001_Sources_and_Docs_v4.zipenter the Source_Code directory and attempt to extract the tar file:
$ tar -xvf dwm1001_host_api.tar
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
This extraction process does work on the package beside it (dwm1001_on-board_package_v1p0.tar) in the same folder.
$ tar -xvf dwm1001_on-board_package_v1p0.tar

Never mind, I didn’t fix the problem but somebody extracted it on their windows computer and sent me the contents.
I tried it on two separate ubuntu computers (14.04 and 16.04) and both experienced the same error.
Thanks.
