Member Function Documentation

find()

static device_addrs_t uhd::device::find ( const device_addr_t &  hint, device_filter_t  filter = ANY  )

static

Find devices attached to the host.

The hint device address should be used to narrow down the search to particular transport types and/or transport arguments.

Parameters

hint	a partially (or fully) filled in device address
filter	an optional filter to exclude USRP or clock devices

Returns

a vector of device addresses for all devices on the system

get_device_type()

device_filter_t uhd::device::get_device_type

(

)

const

Get device type.

get_rx_stream()

virtual rx_streamer::sptr uhd::device::get_rx_stream ( const stream_args_t &  args )

pure virtual

Make a new receive streamer from the streamer arguments.

Note: There can always only be one streamer. When calling get_rx_stream() a second time, the first streamer must be destroyed beforehand.

get_tree()

uhd::property_tree::sptr uhd::device::get_tree

(

void

)

const

Get access to the underlying property structure.

get_tx_stream()

virtual tx_streamer::sptr uhd::device::get_tx_stream ( const stream_args_t &  args )

pure virtual

Make a new transmit streamer from the streamer arguments.

Note: There can always only be one streamer. When calling get_tx_stream() a second time, the first streamer must be destroyed beforehand.

make()

static sptr uhd::device::make ( const device_addr_t &  hint, device_filter_t  filter = ANY, size_t  which = 0  )

static

Create a new device from the device address hint.

The method will go through the registered device types and pick one of the discovered devices.

By default, the first result will be used to create a new device. Use the which parameter as an index into the list of results.

Parameters

hint	a partially (or fully) filled in device address
filter	an optional filter to exclude USRP or clock devices
which	which address to use when multiple are found

Returns

a shared pointer to a new device instance

recv_async_msg()

virtual bool uhd::device::recv_async_msg ( async_metadata_t &  async_metadata, double  timeout = 0.1  )

pure virtual

Receive and asynchronous message from the device.

Parameters

async_metadata	the metadata to be filled in
timeout	the timeout in seconds to wait for a message

Returns

true when the async_metadata is valid, false for timeout

register_device()

static void uhd::device::register_device ( const find_t &  find, const make_t &  make, const device_filter_t  filter  )

static

Register a device into the discovery and factory system.

Parameters

find	a function that discovers devices
make	a factory function that makes a device
filter	include only USRP devices, clock devices, or both
