-Comparative features list
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-**Hardware Capabilities:**
- * 2 transceiver card slots
- * 64 MHz fixed clock rate
-
-**FPGA Capabilities:**
- * 2 RX DDC chains in FPGA
- * 2 TX DUC chains in FPGA (no TX CORDIC -> uses DAC)
- * sc16 sample modes - RX & TX
-
- - Up to 8 MHz of RF BW with 16-bit samples
-
- * sc8 sample mode - RX only
-
- - Up to 16 MHz of RF BW with 8-bit samples
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Specify a Non-standard Image
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The standard USRP1 images installer comes with two FPGA images:
- * **usrp1_fpga.rbf:** 2 DDCs + 2 DUCs
- * **usrp1_fpga_4rx.rbf:** 4 DDCs + 0 DUCs
-
-By default, the USRP1 uses the FPGA image with 2 DDCs and 2 DUCs.
-However, a device address parameter can be used to override
-the FPGA image selection to use an alternate or a custom FPGA image.
-See the images application notes for installing custom images.
-
-Example device address string representations to specify non-standard firmware and/or FPGA images:
-
-::
-
- fpga=usrp1_fpga_4rx.rbf
-
- -- OR --
-
- fw=usrp1_fw_custom.ihx
-
- -- OR --
-
- fpga=usrp1_fpga_4rx.rbf, fw=usrp1_fw_custom.ihx

-Missing and Emulated Features
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The USRP1 FPGA does not have the necessary space to support the advanced
-streaming capabilities that are possible with the newer USRP devices.
-Some of these features are emulated in software to support the API.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-List of emulated features
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-* Setting the current device time
-* Getting the current device time
-* Transmitting at a specific time
-* Transmitting a specific number of samples
-* Receiving at a specific time
-* Receiving a specific number of samples
-* End of burst flags for transmit/receive
-* Notification on late stream command
-* Notification on late transmit packet
-* Notification on underflow or overflow
-* Notification on broken chain error
-
-**Note:**
-These emulated features rely on the host system's clock for timed operations
-and therefore may not have sufficient precision for the application.

-Hardware Setup Notes

-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-External clock modification
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The USRP device can be modified to accept an external clock reference instead of the 64MHz onboard reference.
- * Solder SMA (**LTI-SASF54GT**) connector to **J2001**.
- * Move 0 ohm 0603 resistor **R2029** to **R2030**.
- * Move 0.01uF 0603 capacitor **C925** to **C926**.
- * Remove 0.01uF 0603 capacitor **C924**.
-
-The new external clock needs to be a square wave between +7dBm and +15dBm
-
-After the hardware modification,
-the user should burn the setting into the EEPROM,
-so UHD software can initialize with the correct clock rate.
-Run the following commands to record the setting into the EEPROM:
-::
-
- cd <install-path>/lib/uhd/utils
- ./usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args=<optional device args> --key=mcr --val=<rate>
-
-The user may override the clock rate specified in the EEPROM by using a device address:
-Example:
-::
-
- uhd_usrp_probe --args="mcr=52e6"
