[Discuss-gnuradio] Extending UHD Device Support

[Wilson, Jeffery (DS-1)]

Designation: Non-SSA/Finmeccanica

Hello,

 

We make several RF front-ends that we’d like to see supported in GNU Radio. Our initial idea is was to extend the Ettus UHD to include support for our devices, so that a waveform/flow graph using a UHD block could run using either a USRP or one of our devices with only minor modifications. Does it “make sense” to extend UHD for this purpose?

 

Our radios are embedded Linux systems that can communicate over USB as well as Ethernet. Initially I would like to use Ethernet as communication (using sockets). As far as I can figure a good place to start would be to follow the USRP2 UHD implementation and re-implement it for our system.

 

Any tips, examples or general guidance would be very much appreciated.

 

Thank you!
