Adding EOB when using Vectors

GNU Radio
1

?Dear All,

I am trying to use TX_TIME, SOB, EOB. How do I add the EOB when I am
using a vector?

The block I have created takes in vector of 47520 samples, i.e. one
item, I want to add TX_TIME and SOB to the first sample. This is no
problem, I add it to the item. After the following ‘vector_to_stream’
conversion, the TX_TIME and SOB map through to item 0, 47520, 95040 etc.

But how do I get the EOB to be on item 47519?

Regards,

David

Use tagged streams. usrp_sink will place the EOB on your last sample,
even if bursts are of different lengths in that case.

Thanks. Does it matter what the tag is, does it have to be “packet_len”?

Thanks Martin,

Unfortunately I couldn’t get this to work, even when adding packet_len.

To solve the problem I added another custom sync block called ‘add_EOB’
that takes in packet_len and adds EOB on the relevant item.

            for(int i=0; i<noutput_items; i++)

{
if( nitems_written(0)+i == (d_samples-1)+d_burst_num*d_samples )
{
add_item_tag(0, //stream ID
nitems_written(0)+i,
pmt::string_to_symbol(“tx_eob”), //tag name
pmt::from_bool(1)//, //set this true to indicate end of burst
//pmt::string_to_symbol(id.str())
);
d_burst_num++;
}
out[i] = in[i];
}

It hast to be whatever you set it to when you make the block. See the
make() function in the manual for a description.

Cheers,
