Any writeup of how the software was written?

There's not much software. PC calculates PLL register values for correct LO and source output frequencies, and transfers them to the FPGA which writes them to the hardware. FPGA accumulates the downconverted samples from the receiver ADCs. Samples are transferred to PC which calculates ratios of the receiver outputs to get uncorrected S-parameters. scikit-rf Python library is used for calibration and plotting.
