This file specifies the format of USB packets used for in-band data
transmission and signaling on the USRP. All packets are 512-byte long,
and are transfered using USB "bulk" transfers.
IN packets are sent towards the host.
OUT packets are sent away from the host.
The layout is 32-bits wide. All data is transmitted in little-endian
format across the USB.

mbz Must be Zero: these bits must be zero in both IN and OUT packets.
O Overrun Flag: set in an IN packet if an overrun condition was
detected. Must be zero in OUT packets. Overrun occurs when
the FPGA has data to transmit to the host and there is no
buffer space available. This generally indicates a problem on
the host. Either it is not keeping up, or it has configured
the FPGA to transmit data at a higher rate than the transport
(USB) can support.
U Underrun Flag: set in an IN packet if an underrun condition
was detected. Must be zero in OUT packets. Underrun occurs
when the FPGA runs out of samples, and it's not between
bursts. See the "End of Burst flag" below.
D Dropped Packet Flag: Set in an IN packet if the FPGA
discarded an OUT packet because its timestamp had already
passed.
S Start of Burst Flag: Set in an OUT packet if the data is the
first segment of what is logically a continuous burst of data.
Must be zero in IN packets.
E End of Burst Flag: Set in an OUT packet if the data is the
last segment of what is logically a continuous burst of data.
Must be zero in IN packets. Underruns are not reported
when the FPGA runs out of samples between bursts.
RSSI 6-bit Received Strength Signal Indicator: Must be zero in OUT
packets. In IN packets, indicates RSSI as reported by front end.
FIXME The format and interpretation are to be determined.
Chan 5-bit logical channel number. Channel number 0x1f is reserved
for control information. See "Control Channel" below. Other
channels are "data channels." Each data channel is logically
independent of the others. A data channel payload field
contains a sequence of homogeneous samples. The format of the
samples is determined by the configuration associated with the
given channel. It is often the case that the payload field
contains 32-bit complex samples, each containing 16-bit real
and imaginary components.
Tag 4-bit tag for matching IN packets with OUT packets.
[FIXME, write more...]
Payload Len: 9-bit field that specifies the length of the payload
field in bytes. Must be in the range 0 to 504 inclusive.
Timestamp: 32-bit timestamp.
On IN packets, the timestamp indicates the time at which the
first sample of the packet was produced by the A/D converter(s)
for that channel. On OUT packets, the timestamp specifies the
time at which the first sample in the packet should go out the
D/A converter(s) for that channel. If a packet reaches the
head of the transmit queue, and the current time is later than
the timestamp, an error is assumed to have occurred and the
packet is discarded. As a special case, the timestamp
0xffffffff is interpreted as "Now".
The time base is a free running 32-bit counter that is
incremented by the A/D sample-clock.
Payload: Variable length field. Length is specified by the
Payload Len field.
Padding: This field is 504 - Payload Len bytes long, and its content
is unspecified. This field pads the packet out to a constant
512 bytes.
"Data Channel" payload format:
-------------------------------
If Chan != 0x1f, the packet is a "data packet" and the payload is a
sequence of homogeneous samples. The format of the samples is
determined by the configuration associated with the given channel.
It is often the case that the payload field contains 32-bit complex
samples, each containing 16-bit real and imaginary components.
"Control Channel" payload format:
---------------------------------
If Chan == 0x1f, the packet is a "control packet". The control channel
payload consists of a sequence of 0 or more sub-packets.
Each sub-packet starts on a 32-bit boundary, and consists of an 8-bit
Opcode field, an 8-bit Length field, Length bytes of arguments, and 0,
1, 2 or 3 bytes of padding to align the tail of the sub-packet to
a 32-bit boundary.
Control channel packets shall be processed at the head of the queue,
and shall observe the timestamp semantics described above.
