Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] In rx_streaming_samples.cc, why use host_items for storing samples?

[Douglas Geiger]

Hanwen,
 Because data coming across from the USRP2 is in network order
(big-endian), it must be converted to the proper endianness for the
host. If you look in copiers.cc you'll see the
copy_u2_16sc_to_host_16sc and copy_u2_16sc_to_host_32fc use the ntoh
(network to host) functions to ensure the conversion is done (if
needed).
