What's difference between noc_shell_gain.v & rfnoc_block_gain.v in RFNOC blocks

It is described in the referer link,

rfnoc_block_gain.v The top-level synthesizable file for the Gain block

noc_shell_gain.v The NoC Shell for the Gain block

My question is:
What's difference between noc_shell_gain.v & rfnoc_block_gain.v in RFNOC
blocks.
What's NOC shell??

thanks in advance

Hi, I am studying gain RFNOC example, there is two Verilog source in the FPGA-src folder. (see this link https://kb.ettus.com/Getting_Started_with_RFNoC_in_UHD_4.0) *noc_shell_gain.v *& *rfnoc_block_gain.v * It is described in the referer link, - *rfnoc_block_gain.v The top-level synthesizable file for the Gain block* - *noc_shell_gain.v The NoC Shell for the Gain block* My question is: What's difference between noc_shell_gain.v & rfnoc_block_gain.v in RFNOC blocks. What's NOC shell?? thanks in advance

he IP blocks in RFNoC are called /RFNoC blocks/. The RFNoC blocks wrap
the IP and provide a custom interface to the RFNoC infrastructure
through a tool-generated interface called the /NoC Shell/. Many standard
blocks are included in UHD 4.0. These blocks enable typical operation of
the USRP and allow RFNoC to connect to the different hardware components
of the USRP. Several of the included blocks are described in the section
Available RFNoC Blocks
https://kb.ettus.com/Getting_Started_with_RFNoC_in_UHD_4.0#Available_RFNoC_Blocks.
You can mix the available blocks for your application, or develop your
own custom RFNoC blocks with your own IP to open up new applications.
The NoC Shell hides the complexity of RFNoC from your block, making it
easy to plug your IP into the USRP.
