Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] HDLC framer

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Daniel,
the HDLC framer can only deal with messages containing PMTs that are
"blobs", ie. u8vectors.
In fact, that's a missing feature:
        pmt::pmt_t len(pmt::car(msg)); //TODO for non-mult-8 nbits
        pmt::pmt_t blob(pmt::cdr(msg));
        if(!pmt::is_blob(blob))
            throw std::runtime_error("HDLC framer: PMT must be blob");

Instead of making a pmt.intern("String"), you will need to have a
u8vector. It's a bit ugly to generate that in single line:

pmt.pmt_to_python.numpy_to_uvector(numpy.array([ord(c) for c in "Hello
World"], numpy.uint8))

you might need to add an "import block" that does an "import numpy".

Greetings,
Marcus
