| * The packetlogger debug facility of the embedded Quantenna software is a debug feature | |
| * which is used to monitor realtime statistics in the embedded system. | |
| * | |
| * The feature exports internally visible statistics (from the LHost, MuC, MAC and baseband) | |
| * via the network. A statistics gathering process runs on the network, and packages the | |
| * data into machine readable formats, in the first instance as comma separated values (CSVs). | |
| * | |
| * The following diagram gives a high level component view of the packetlogger facility. | |

| * | |
| * The source of the data containing board statistics comes from an individual board such | |
| * as a QHS710. This is the first component in the packet logger architecture. The device that | |
| * consumes and formats the data is generally run on a host PC connected to the same Ethernet | |
| * segment as the Quantenna board. This is the second component in the packet logger architecture. | |
| * | |
| * The pktlogger environment consists of two device roles, sender and receiver. | |
| * The DUT as sender, collects data and constructs a UDP packet, which is then sent via Ethernet, | |
| * PCIe or WiFi. The receiver creates a UDP socket to receive these packets, and saves | |
| * them to a file which can be processed at a later time. | |
