[Discuss-gnuradio] UHD Announcement - September 23rd 2010

[Josh Blum]

Hello List,

I have pushed a bunch of code to the uhd repo and gnuradio next branch.
http://ettus-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
USRP1 multi-channel support has been completed. Multiple channels can be 
access through the new "single usrp" API which supersedes the "simple 
usrp" API. The equivalent gnuradio blocks(uhd single usrp source and 
sink), and grc wrappers have been created as well.

http://www.ettus.com/uhd_docs/doxygen/html/classuhd_1_1usrp_1_1single__usrp.html

The "simple usrp" interface is now deprecated but will continue to work. 
In the single channel case, all API calls are identical; to switch any 
code that was written for simple usrp, just change the include header 
and instantiation to the following:

#include <uhd/usrp/single_usrp.hpp>
single_usrp::sptr sdev = single_usrp::make(args);

If you are running in GRC, just drag and drop the new blocks and swap 
the connections. :-)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news,
UHD can now compile against pre-built libusb1.0 windows binaries:

Runtime operation has yet to be confirmed.

Thanks!
