Athena is a Software project intended to develop a software developers kit for the HPSDR radio system. The objective of the project is to provide a multi-platform code basis that will help programmers write client programs using the output of the HPSDR boards. Project goals include:

- Development of IO compatible server code to communicate with the HPSDR hardware and communicate with client programs with UDP/TCP commands.
- Develop a set of operating specific server code that maintains IO compatibility.
- Develop libraries of functions to help programmers easily access the server.
- Document all the communications protocols and the Library Application Protocol Interface (API)

Athena is the Greek goddess to support home industry including spinning weaving and carpentry, She is also the goddess of wisdom and known to be very clever as well as the goddess of war. This is a good name for the server program is is the main connection between many parts of a HPSDR system.

This project will be run as a moderated open source software project. Code contributions will be evaluates as to the degree it contributes to the over all goals of the project and whether there are undesired interactions with existing code. Contributers may be asked to help in resolving issue.

Project leader is Dave Larsen, KV0S

Team members include: John Melton, G0ORX/N6LYT

Ideas, comments and suggestions are welcome.
