USRP interface files

GNU Radio
1

Hi,

I am wondering if the files in the gnuradio/usrp/host/lib/legacy/ folder
are all the current files that pertain to interfacing to the USRP. The
‘legacy’ in the path makes me wonder if they are the most current.
Would
there also be any documentation that explains what is going on within
the
files?

Hi Kevin,

The legacy is meant to distinguish between the new in-band USRP library,
which introduces a new control channel between the host and USRP with
meta-data on the USB blocks, and the original implementation that
everyone has been using thus far. What you use is the legacy code, the
in-band code has not been released yet.

I think that the only documentation available are the code comments and
the doxygen documentation linked on the GNU Radio page.
