LibIIO and PS processing

Category: Software
Product Number: ad9361
Software Version: kuiper linux 2019

I would like to read data from the hardware and then perform some processing on it.

Here is my C code:

When I try to print the data on screen the iio_buffer_refill loses data in the process. My DMA size : 128 MB; CMA 256 MB. can it be done???
