loader_fcn_t

typedef boost::function<bool(const image_loader_args_t &)> uhd::image_loader::loader_fcn_t

Signature of an image loading function.

This is the function signature for an image loading function. See the declaration of load() for the meaning of these arguments.

This function must return true upon the end of a successful image load or false if no applicable device was found. It may only throw a runtime error under one of three conditions:

• The function finds multiple devices that fit the user's arguments.
• The function has already engaged with a specific device and something goes wrong.
• The user gives arguments that unambiguously lead to a specific device and expect the default image(s) to be loaded, but the specific model of the device cannot be determined beyond a category.

Member Function Documentation

get_recovery_instructions()

static std::string uhd::image_loader::get_recovery_instructions ( const std::string &  device_type )

static

Get the instructions on how to recovery a particular device.

These instructions should be queried if the user interrupts an image loading session, as this will likely leave the device in an unstable state.

Parameters

device_type

the "type=foo" value given in an –args option

Returns

recovery instructions

load()

static bool uhd::image_loader::load ( const image_loader_args_t &  image_loader_args )

static

Load firmware and/or FPGA onto a device.

Parameters

image_loader_args

arguments to pass into image loading function

register_image_loader()

static void uhd::image_loader::register_image_loader ( const std::string &  device_type, const loader_fcn_t &  loader_fcn, const std::string &  recovery_instructions  )

static

Register an image loader.

Parameters

device_type	the "type=foo" value given in an –args option
loader_fcn	the loader function for the given device
recovery_instructions	instructions on how to restore a device
