Detailed Description

The core class for a UHD session with (an) RFNoC device(s)

This class is a superset of uhd::device. It does not only hold a device session, but also manages the RFNoC blocks on those devices. Only devices compatible with a modern version of RFNoC can be addressed by this class.

size_t  src_port,
const block_id_t dst_blk,
size_t  dst_port 
)
pure virtual

Disconnect a RFNoC block with block ID src_blk from another with block ID dst_blk. This will logically disconnect the blocks, but the physical connection will not be changed until a new connection is made on the source port.

Disconnect a streamer with ID streamer_id. This will logically disconnect the streamer, but physical connection will not be changed. For RX streamers, the physical connection will be changed when a new connection is made to the upstream source port(s). For TX streamers, the physical connection will be changed when the TX streamer is destroyed or the port(s) are connected to another block.

Parameters
streamer_idThe ID of the streamer to disconnect.

◆ disconnect() [3/3]

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::disconnect ( const std::string &  streamer_id,
size_t  port 
)
pure virtual

Disconnect port port of a streamer with ID streamer_id. This will logically disconnect the streamer, but physical connection will not be changed. For RX streamers, the physical connection will be changed when a new connection is made to the upstreame source port. For TX streamers, the physical connection will be changed when the TX streamer is destroyed or the port is connected to another block.

Parameters
streamer_idThe ID of the streamer.
portThe port to disconnect.

◆ enumerate_active_connections()

size_t  src_port 
)
pure virtual

Enumerate all the possible host transport adapters that can be used to receive from the specified block

dst_portThe port of the destination block to connect to.

◆ enumerate_static_connections()

virtual std::vector< graph_edge_t > uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::enumerate_static_connections ( ) const
pure virtual

Enumerate all the possible static connections in the graph

A static connection is a connection that is statically connected in hardware. Note that static connections also need to be declared using connect() if an application wants to use them, or they won't be available for property propagation or any other graph mechanism.

Returns
A vector containing all the static edges in the graph.

◆ find_blocks() [1/2]

template<typename T >
std::vector< block_id_t > uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::find_blocks ( const std::string &  block_id_hint) const
inline

Type-cast version of find_blocks().

◆ find_blocks() [2/2]

virtual std::vector< block_id_t > uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::find_blocks ( const std::string &  block_id_hint) const
pure virtual

Returns the block ids of all blocks that match the specified hint

Uses block_id_t::match() internally. If no matching block is found, it returns an empty vector.

The returned vector is sorted lexicographically.

To access specialized block controller classes (i.e. derived from uhd::rfnoc::noc_block_base), use the templated version of this function:

// Assume DEV is an rfnoc_graph::sptr
auto null_blocks = DEV->find_blocks<null_block_control>("NullSrcSink");
if (null_blocks.empty()) { cout << "No null blocks found!" << endl; }
Note
this access is not thread safe if performed during block enumeration
Returns
A sorted list of block IDs that match the hint

◆ get_block() [1/2]

template<typename T >
std::shared_ptr< T > uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::get_block ( const block_id_t block_id) const
inline

Same as get_block(), but with a type cast.

If you have a block controller class that is derived from noc_block_base, use this function to access its specific methods. If the given block ID is not valid (i.e. such a block does not exist on this device) or if the type does not match, it will throw a uhd::lookup_error.

// Assume DEV is an rfnoc_graph::sptr
auto block_controller = DEV->get_block<my_noc_block>("0/MyBlock#0");
block_controller->my_own_block_method();
Note
this access is not thread safe if performed during block enumeration

◆ get_block() [2/2]

virtual noc_block_base::sptr uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::get_block ( const block_id_t block_id) const
pure virtual

Returns a block controller class for an NoC block.

If the given block ID is not valid (i.e. such a block does not exist on this device), it will throw a uhd::lookup_error.

Parameters
block_idCanonical block name (e.g. "0/FFT#1").
Note
this access is not thread safe if peformed during block enumeration

◆ get_mb_controller()

virtual std::shared_ptr< mb_controller > uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::get_mb_controller ( const size_t  mb_index = 0)
pure virtual

Return a reference to a motherboard controller.

◆ get_num_mboards()

virtual size_t uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::get_num_mboards ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ get_tree()

virtual uhd::property_tree::sptr uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::get_tree ( void  ) const
pure virtual

Return a reference to the property tree.

◆ has_block() [1/2]

template<typename T >
bool uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::has_block ( const block_id_t block_id) const
inline

Same as has_block(), but with a type check.

Returns
true if a block of type T with the specified id exists
Note
this access is not thread safe if performed during block enumeration

◆ has_block() [2/2]

virtual bool uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::has_block ( const block_id_t block_id) const
pure virtual

Checks if a specific NoC block exists on the device.

Parameters
block_idCanonical block name (e.g. "0/FFT#1").
Returns
true if a block with the specified id exists
Note
this access is not thread safe if performed during block enumeration

◆ is_connectable()

virtual bool uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::is_connectable ( const block_id_t src_blk,
size_t  src_port,
const block_id_t dst_blk,
size_t  dst_port 
)
pure virtual

Verify if two blocks/ports are connectable.

If this call returns true, then connect() can be called with the same arguments. It does not, however, check if the block was already connnected.

Returns
true if the two blocks are connectable

◆ make()

static sptr uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::make ( const device_addr_t dev_addr)
static

Make a new USRP graph from the specified device address(es).

Parameters
dev_addrthe device address
Returns
A new rfnoc_graph object
Exceptions
uhd::key_errorno device found
uhd::index_errorfewer devices found than expected

◆ release()

virtual void uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::release ( )
pure virtual

Release graph: Opposite of commit()

Calling this will disable property propagation until commit() has been called an equal number of times.

◆ synchronize_devices()

virtual bool uhd::rfnoc::rfnoc_graph::synchronize_devices ( const uhd::time_spec_t time_spec,
const bool  quiet 
)
pure virtual

Run any routines necessary to synchronize devices

The specific implementation of this call are device-specific. In all cases, it will set the time to a common value.

Any application that requires any kind of phase or time alignment (if supported by the hardware) must call this before operation.

Parameters
time_specThe timestamp to be used to sync the devices. It will be an input to set_time_next_pps() on the motherboard controllers.
quietIf true, there will be no errors or warnings printed if the synchronization happens. This call will always be called during initialization, but preconditions might not yet be met (e.g., the time and reference sources might still be internal), and will fail quietly in that case.
Returns
the success status of this call (true means devices are now synchronized)
