dac_spi HDL Worker

Ettus USRP X310 DAC SPI device worker. Provides access to the hardware registers of Daughter board 0 and 1 AD9146 DACs.

Detail

This worker is used to control both AD9146 DACs present on the X310 mother board. It drives the SPI signals connected to both instances of the AD9146 DAC, providing write access to the hardware registers of both AD9146 DACs. The worker provides a raw property interface to the ad9146.hdl worker, which in turn provides named register access to the drc_x310.rcc (Digital-Radio-Controller).

This worker is defined as supporting two instances of the ad9146.hdl worker.

<supports worker="ad9146">
   <connect port="rawprops" to="rawprops" index="0"/>
</supports>

<supports worker="ad9146">
   <connect port="rawprops" to="rawprops" index="1"/>
</supports>

This worker is responsible for driving the following hardware signals
