[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP/USB abstraction in gnuradio

[Kalen Watermeyer]

Greetings,

I'm a masters student developing a hardware platform for simple SDR 
applications which is similar to the USRP in that it will stream data to 
a PC via USB. My boards are being manufactured and I'm drawing up a list 
of tests that I'll want to carry out on them (once they've been debugged).

I've managed to get gnuradio up and running on my debian box and am 
playing around with the code. I plan to reuse (where possible) existing 
code to interface with my system, specifically the USB abstraction.

Am I correct in saying that the usrp code treats the device as a stream 
of data entering the system via the USB connection?

Also, how feasibile would it be to re-use this code with another USB 
device (my own in this case)?

Many thanks
