uhd: updated to 4.10.0.0
UHD 4.10.0.0
Highlights / Main Changes
Support for USRP X420
Addition of timed complex gain feature, which allows setting a complex gain
value to fix phase and amplitude of signals from radio blocks
New Features
CMake:
Create UHD::uhd package for improved integration in downstream build
processes. The init_usrp example is used to showcase this feature.
Improved options for RFNoC OOT modules to write unit tests.
Add helper routines to up- and download data (reliably) from and to the
DRAM block
X310: Allow daughterboards to set dboard clock rate
Improve finding of MPM-based devices by making parts of the find call
asynchronous and allowing to skip reachability checks.
RFNoC:
Added new optional feature to all Radio blocks - Timed complex gain:
Allows specifying complex gain coefficients to be applied to all
TX and/or RX samples of a radio channel at the specified time.
Enabled by default for all TX and RX channels of the radio blocks,
but can be disabled at FPGA build time via the EN_COMP_GAIN_TX
and EN_COMP_GAIN_RX parameters of the radio blocks.
NOTE: For the x440_X4_400 default FPGA design provided with UHD,
enabling this feature for all 8 RX and TX channels necessitated
restricting the existing crossbar connections between the replay
blocks and the radio blocks. As a result, only blocks with the same
indices can be connected (e.g. replay0<->radio0 and replay1<->radio1
only) when using this pre-built USRP FPGA image.
Blocks may now drive the front-panel GPIO pins on all RFNoC-capable
devices. New IO signatures are added, and all device BSPs have IO ports
for accessing the GPIOs. Device controls are updated such that the user
can choose the source for GPIOs dynamically in this case (i.e., the
radio blocks and other GPIO sources are still available). In some cases,
the device BSP HDL had to be significantly refactored.
Add names and descriptions for block's and module's YAML files, so that
other tools may read information about those in an automated fashion
Allow mtu stream argument, which overrides the MTU value that is
derived from the link information.
Action handling is now moved to its own thread (there is one action
handling thread per graph). This allows actions to be handled
asynchronously, e.g., when triggering actions from async message handlers.
Add radio_state IO signature, so that other blocks can monitor the ATR
state of radio blocks.
All RFNoC devices can now take an mtu stream argument (which overrides
the detected link MTU) and a force_mtu device argument (which skips
automatic MTU detection and forces a fixed value). These are helpful in
scenarios where a specific network topology interferes with path MTU
discovery, and for remote streaming when the MTU for a remote stream link
cannot be inferred from UHD.
rfnoc_modtool has improved support for generating unit tests.
Add PPS IO signature for all targets
Add stream command to start receiving when a transmit occurs
Null source/sink: Add finite mode.
Add UX1/UX2/UX4 QSFP configurations for X4xx
API Changes
meta_range_t and uhd::dict can now be initialized from initializer lists
Add rfnoc_graph::get_chdr_xport_adapters()
Python API now allows creating SubdevSpec from a string
Some public APIs that used boost::optional now also work with std::optional
Unit tests for RFNoC blocks (in-tree and out-of-tree) no longer require a
dummy implementation of ~make_args_t()
uhd::cast::to_str() was added and uhd::cast::from_str() was extended to
be a full replacement for boost::lexical_cast
Examples
Overhauled many of the examples to improve documentation, as well as some
minor conveniences or bug fixes
Added continuous streaming to tx_samples_from_file
Improved gpio example.

ham/uhd: Update to 4.9.0.1
Packaging changes:
- Drop boost::system linking exorcism, as fixed by upstream which
made this micro because I asked for it!
- Drop patches cherry-picked from upstream commits
Upstream NEWS:
* 4.9.0.1
Fix build with boost 1.89.0
* 4.9.0.0
Highlights / Main Changes
Support for USRP B206mini-i
Support for OBX daughterboard
New Features
OBX daughterboard and B206mini support added.
X3x0: Add support for the gps_iface feature. This allows sending arbitrary
commands to the GPS module.
rfnoc_modtool: Add a new subcommand, make-yaml, that generates a block
YAML file from some user inputs. When calling rfnoc_modtool add without
a valid block YAML file, the tool will now automatically call make-yaml to
generate a new YAML file.
Added support for processing multiple samples per cycle in FFT block.
LabVIEW/USRP: New repository containing example applications which
demonstrate how to use NI LabVIEW with USRP devices via the UHD APIs.
(https://github.com/ni/labview-usrp-examples)
Improved RFNoC OOT Block support:
New repository containing official RFNoC OOT Blocks
(https://github.com/EttusResearch/rfnoc-oot-blocks)
Added new RFNoC Aurora Block for TX and RX remote streaming applications
to and from Aurora capable compute nodes like FPGA Coprocessors.
Enhanced the UHD Windows installer to automatically install Windows
driver packages into the OS, eliminating this manual post-installation
step for B-Series USB devices.
API Changes
uhd::math::gcd and uhd::math::lcm are removed from the public
headers. Use std::gcd and std::lcm instead if C++17 is available,
or boost::math::gcd and boost::math::lcm if not.
When calling recv() on an RX streamer connected to an RFNoC device, we
no longer artificially inflate the timeout value. The old behaviour was
in some cases abused to detect overruns, but this is not a reliable method
and is now explicitly declared unsupported.
