Can I include RSSI alongside CSI in the UDP packets? (Raspberry Pi 4, Lite OS 5.10.92)Β #84

Hi Nexmon CSI team πŸ‘‹

First of all, thank you for your amazing work β€” I've successfully set up Nexmon CSI on a Raspberry Pi 4 using the precompiled binaries provided for kernel 5.10.92-v7l+ on Raspberry Pi OS Lite. Everything works smoothly, and I'm able to collect CSI via UDP packets on port 5500.

That said, I had a question:

πŸ‘‰ Is it possible to include RSSI information along with the CSI in each UDP packet?

I’d like to use both CSI and RSSI for downstream analysis (e.g., for indoor localization and signal quality estimation). Currently, I only see CSI data in the packet payload β€” no RSSI values.

Is there a version or patch of Nexmon CSI that supports this?

Or would it require modifying the kernel module / firmware to append RSSI before sending the UDP payload?

Any direction or confirmation would be hugely appreciated. If this requires development effort, I’m also open to trying it out myself if pointed to the right area of the code.

Thanks in advance!
