19.1.1 uhd

This driver connects via a TCP socket to a socket server scopehal-uhd-bridge which connects to the appropriate instrument using the UHD API.

This provides network transparency for USB-attached instruments, as well as a license boundary between the BSD-licensed libscopehal core and the GPL-licensed UHD API.

19.2 Microphase

The AntSDR running antsdr_uhd firmware is supported by the uhd driver for Ettus Research SDRs. There is currently no support for the IIO firmware.
