The underlying FPGAs are not fully utilized by the radio software itself, and can thus be extended by the user. Additional products include the [https://www.nuand.com/product/hf-vhf-transverter/ XB-200] LF/MF/HF/VHF transverter for lower-range work, the [https://www.nuand.com/product/amplifier/ XB-300] amplifier/LNA, and the [https://www.nuand.com/product/xb-gpio-gpio-expansion-board/ XB-100] GPIO expansion board. These only work with the x115/x40.

The [https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF libbladeRF] repository contains the sources necessary for working with bladeRF. Clone this repository with the <tt>--recursive</tt> option to acquire submodules. FPGA blobs can be acquired at [http://www.nuand.com/fpga_images/ Nuand's site]. No kernel driver is necessary; libbladeRF works directly with USB devices using libusb. The underlying [https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libad9361-iio libad9361] from Analog Devices can be used to manipulate the AD9361 aboard the bladeRF 2.0.

* With gqrx as of 2019-08, I couldn't initialize the BladeRF until I deleted <tt>~/.config/gqrx</tt>, even when selecting "initialize configuration file". It did finally work.
