This file specifies the format of USB packets used for in-band data
transmission and signaling on the USRP. All packets are 512-byte long,
and are transfered using USB "bulk" transfers.
IN packets are sent towards the host.
OUT packets are sent away from the host.
The layout is 32-bits wide. All data is transmitted in little-endian
format across the USB.

mbz Must be Zero: these bits must be zero in both IN and OUT packets.
O Overrun Flag: set in an IN packet if an overrun condition was
detected. Must be zero in OUT packets. Overrun occurs when
the FPGA has data to transmit to the host and there is no
buffer space available. This generally indicates a problem on
the host. Either it is not keeping up, or it has configured
the FPGA to transmit data at a higher rate than the transport
(USB) can support.
U Underrun Flag: set in an IN packet if an underrun condition
was detected. Must be zero in OUT packets. Underrun occurs
when the FPGA runs out of samples, and it's not between
bursts. See the "End of Burst flag" below.
E End of Burst Flag: Set in an OUT packet if the data is the
last segment of what is logically a continuous burst of data.
Must be zero in IN packets. Underruns are not reported
when the FPGA runs out of samples between bursts.
D Dropped Packet Flag: Set in an IN packet if the FPGA
discarded an OUT packet because its timestamp had already
passed.
Chan 5-bit logical channel number. Channel number 0x1f is reserved
for control information. See "Control Channel" below. Other
channels are "data channels." Each data channel is logically
independent of the others. A data channel payload field
contains a sequence of homogeneous samples. The format of the
samples is determined by the configuration associated with the
given channel. It is often the case that the payload field
contains 32-bit complex samples, each containing 16-bit real
and imaginary components.
Tag 4-bit tag for matching IN packets with OUT packets.
[FIXME, write more...]
Payload Len: 9-bit field that specifies the length of the payload
field in bytes. Must be in the range 0 to 504 inclusive.
Timestamp: 32-bit timestamp. [FIXME, Write more]
On OUT packets, 0xffffffff means "Now".
Payload: Variable length field. Length is specified by the
Payload Len field.
Padding: This field is 504 - Payload Len bytes long, and its content
is unspecified. This field pads the packet out to a constant
512 bytes.
