[Discuss-gnuradio] usrp2 dtor can throw !

2011-01-14 Thread Gaetano Mendola
Hi all, the usrp2 destructor can throw an exeption due the fact that while destroying the implementation ( usrp2::impl::~impl() ) a stop_bg() is performed. The stop_bg implementation is: void usrp2::impl::stop_bg() { d_bg_running = false; d_bg_pending_cond.notify_one(); // FIXME: ch

[Discuss-gnuradio] why USRP2 End-Of-Life (EOL) in March 2011? UHD-only?

Hello: Why is the USRP2 is going End-Of-Life (EOL) in March 2011? My understanding is that one of the parts will soon become unavailable. Which part is it? I'm just curious, but wouldn't it have been easier to just design around the obsoleted part, or find a drop-in replacement, rather than des

But I still don't understand what it is that has to change in GRC to use UHD. Do you mean that the "USRP2 Sink" and "USRP2 Source" blocks are only for the raw Ethernet interface, and to use UHD you would need to use a different block in your GRC flowgraph? Thanks again. --- On Fri, 1/14/11, M
