static sptr make (usb_device_handle::sptr handle, size_t recv_endpoint, size_t send_endpoint, const device_addr_t &hints=device_addr_t())

Detailed Description

A zero copy usb transport provides an efficient way to handle data. by avoiding the extra copy when recv() or send() is called on the handle. Rather, the zero copy transport gives the caller memory references. The caller informs the transport when it is finished with the reference.

On linux systems, the zero copy transport can use a kernel packet ring. If no platform specific solution is available, make returns a boost asio implementation that wraps functionality around standard send/recv calls.

Member Function Documentation

static sptr uhd::transport::usb_zero_copy::make ( usb_device_handle::sptr  handle,
size_t  recv_endpoint,
size_t  send_endpoint,
const device_addr_t hints = device_addr_t() 
) [static]

Make a new zero copy usb transport: This transport is for sending and receiving between the host and a pair of USB bulk transfer endpoints. The primary usage for this transport is data transactions. The underlying implementation may be platform specific.

Parameters:
handlea device handle that uniquely identifying the device
recv_endpointan integer specifiying an IN endpoint number
send_endpointan integer specifiying an OUT endpoint number
hintsoptional parameters to pass to the underlying transport
