Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD + BURX

Yes, we intend to provide support for the BURX board under UHD.  Our
original intention was to let the UHD stabilize a bit before diving
in.  In addition, we were waiting to see how the UHD daughterboard API
was going to support building dynamically loadable modules that used
this interface while still plugging in to the rest of the UHD
infrastructure.  From Josh's original post back on 4/15:

"For those of you who have developed custom daughter cards for the usrp,
you will not need to maintain a separate branch off of the uhd to
support your product. Rather, you will be able to build
dynamically-loadable modules compiled against the uhd daughterboard api. "

Josh: can you provide any more insight as to which portion of the UHD
daughterboard API you are referencing here?  How will this fit in with
the dboard_manager concept currently in use in the UHD?  From what I
have seen in the latest git repo, support for each daughterboard seems
to be provided through a daughterboard-specific file located in
/uhd/host/lib/usrp/dboard/.

We've had a number of people contact us about this, so one way or
another we'll get support added in.
