[Discuss-gnuradio] microtune.i

[cfk]

Dear Guys:

    I am trying to understand src/gnu/scripting/microtune.i as I get prepared for a USRP with a microtune 4702 frontend. I can see some "%include" statements and class definitions.  I can also find the microtune_4702.h/.cc files, but I am a bit lost by the .i file that I have never come across before.

   

    My experience is with driver writing mostly, so maybe this is a C++ or Python scripting nuance that I dont grok yet.

 

    Could you consider writing a paragraph or two back describing the care and feeding of ".i" files in src/gnu/scripting/. I am thinking in particular how one goes about describing a complete executable program, be it C++ or Python that will initialize a 4702 and get it to where it can receive *some* frequency.

 

    I understand this will end up with includes/instantiations/invocations of additional things like VrSigSource and others.

 

    I guess my main problem is I dont yet have a feel of how it all might fit together to make an executable yet and I am eager to understand enough of how the software fits together to allow me to make *stuff* happen.

 

    I also understand there is a re-write in progress, but I am hopeful that a couple of paragraphs can allow some progress to be made on this end in the meantime.
