For network based devices (USRP2, N200, etc.), increase the
latency from 2 to 3 frames, which effectively buffers more
samples on the host in front of the Ethernet interface.
USB devices (USRP1 and B100) utilize an adaptive mechanism
so they are less effected by this value.

Enable non-UHD USRP1 support through the gnuradio-based
driver. Requires gnuradio (libusrp) to be installed.
./configure --with-resample
Enable host-based 400ksps to 270.833ksps resampling.
Only supported for UHD devices. If not enabled, the GSM

With the introduction of the B100, there is USB support
using UHD devices. The characteristics of the trasmit
side burst submissions are more reflective of the bus
type than the device or driver.
Use a fixed latency interval for network devices and the
adaptive underrun approach for USB devices - regardless
of driver or device type.
The GPMC based transport on the E100 appears unaffected
by either latency scheme, which defaults to network.

Commit e161523c (transceiver: simplify transmit power control)
changed transmit gain control to RF setting only. This was
appropriate for a WBX board with 25 dB of gain control, but
inappropriate for an RFX with fixed transmit gain.
RFX boards will regain the ability to set transmit
attenuation. Since gain is set on the RF side first,
reintroducing digital gain settings should have limited
overall effect on non-RFX daughterboards.

Receive buffer flush should continue to read until
either the desired number of packets has been read or
timeout, which means that the buffer has been emptied.
These are expected behaviours and should return true.
Ignore errors at this stage as the data and associated
metadata can be considered garbage and not worth

Transmit tuning was primarily setup for side A only. Some boards
- WBX - would still tune with improper channel arguments, though
receiver performance was disrupted.
Previous testing was primarily with single board on side A only
or dual configuration with side A transmit, so this bug largely
went undetected. Patch tested with RFX and WBX daughterboards
in single and dual configurations sides A and B.

If no bursts were received over a long enough duration
then the threshold would roll into negative territory.
The energy detection is based on a comparison with the
squared threshold, so all handsets would become
effectively barred after a certain period of
inactivity.
In theory, this bug also exists in the mainline tree,
but there the daughterboard receive gain is fixed at
max, which always allows the ADC to generate sufficient
noise to trigger the energy dectector and keep the
system in a valid steady state.
To fix, simply add a negative value check like those
already in place for other locations.

UHD will internally accept floats with a range of +/-1.0,
which corresponds to a 16-bit signed integer range of
apporximately +/- 32000. Set the default amplitude to .3,

The output of the modulator or resampler is scaled and

factor is the leftover dB in RF attention (relative to max

Sample clock will reset to zero after an overrun. Earlier
versions may hang the FPGA, which is non-recoverable,
requiring a manual image reload or reboot.
If reset to zero, attempt to kick the sample clock to the
last properly received timestamp value. At this point,
there will be a timing continuity jump, which will drop
connections, but transmit and receive chains should be
aligned allowing for re-establishment.
