Device creation

• The hint is used to specify which device to create, and implies whether the UHD or Legacy interface is used.

• A blank hint implies the default UHD device.

• Entering a digit implies the index for a Legacy device.

• Anything else is fed through to the UHD device factory.

Command-line arguments

• Prepended with either / or -

• port - set port to listen on (28888 by default)
• device - supply without parameter to automatically create default UHD device, or give hint to specify which device to create

Notes

• Cannot disconnect device once it has been 'created' in server. This will cause the server to crash (can't help this).

Bugs

• On first creation of Legacy device, serial will fail to be fetched correctly (will remain blank), but device will still work.
  • If application is restarted while programmed USRP remains connected, creation of Legacy device will result in serial now being displayed.

• Cannot start program, then connect Legacy device, then attempt to create
  • Must connect USRP first, then start program

• Legacy is more efficient in this compilation than UHD at higher sampling rates

To Do

• (Detect changes in power state and release device to prevent app crash when resuming.)
  • Apparently it still works if device is left connected and powered on.
• Announce via Bounjour/custom broadcast
• Ability to set up multiple streams
• Buffer & request re-send of section that was dropped (e.g. lost packets)
