This patch-set adds substantial new support for UHD features relating to
wire-format, time-synchronization, and refclock/PPS.
It is intended for both sources and sinks. The get-precision-time
function I simply made static and copied into both source and sink
files. It really belongs in osmosdr utiltiies, it uses Boost to hide the
Windows-vs-Unix-like precision time "goop".
This might be used to tune away from the noisy center region caused by
direct conversion receiver principle. The offset shall be choosen within
receiver (daughterboard) bandwidth.
Thanks to Marcus Leech & G0HWW for the original idea.
This API allows to acquire a list of devices connected to the host and
creates an argument string ready to be passed to a source object for
cunstruction.
Each device_t entry contains a "label" entry, which holds the generic
device name which may be shown to the user for device selection.
For certain radio hardware extended entries ("name", "serial", "type")
may be available to make bijective device addressing possible.
The argument string for target types "rtl_tcp" and "file" might be
constructed using the osmosdr::device_t class facilities.
Example:
#include <osmosdr_device.h>
#include <osmosdr_source_c.h>
osmosdr::devices_t devs = osmosdr::device::find();
BOOST_FOREACH(osmosdr::device_t &dev, devs) // try to create each dev
osmosdr_source_c_sptr src = osmosdr_make_source_c(dev.to_string());
