Will a 2.x block consume an input stream if it returns 0 output items?
All the other atsc blocks are at least passing data and reporting
various states, but fsd = atsc.field_sync_demux() seems to be hung up.
An upstream block connected to fsd, when also connected to a file sink
only produces 28672 (7 * 4096) in the file. fsd, as copied from
gr 0.9 does not produce output untill a field sync is detected.
It is searching thru data, but it looks like it’s just going
thru the input_tags[ii] array off to infinity, i.e,
cerr << "atsc_field_sync_demux: searching for sync at "
<< inputs0_index + ii << endl;
just counts up.
File attached.
Also I’m now using the 0.9 atsc_tx to create test data (20Msps shorts
centered at 5.75MHz), instead of “off the air”.

appearently not. I just make a simple change
d_next_input += ii; // update for forecast
return ii/DEC; // no work completed so far
}
}
// no non-NORMAL tag found
d_next_input += ii; // update for forecast
return ii/DEC; // no work completed so far
with ii/DEC instead of 0, and was rewarded with:

Yes, if it’s based on gr_block and you call consume or consume_each
in general_work.

Ok, just thinking out loud here - the 0.9 i/o data types are
VrSampleRange
typedef unsigned long long VrSampleIndex;
typedef struct {
VrSampleIndex index;
unsigned long size;
} VrSampleRange;
and my simple solution to the inputs[x].size and inputs[x].index
problem was to create new variables inputs0_size and inputs0_index.
The was sufficient in other blocks but field_sync_demux will need
to be rewritten. Just returning ii/DEC gets it enough data to sync,
THEN it hangs up - this is tantalizingly close to fully working:
gr_fir_fff: using SSE
FSC - 511 pattern is good, errors: 1
FSC - Field 2
tag is start field sync
EQ: Transition to locked
EQ: symbol_num: 0, segment_num: 511, field_num: 1, valid: 1
EQ: symbol_num: 0, segment_num: 511, field_num: 1, valid: 1
EQ - tag_is_start_field_sync_2
EQ - d_offset_from_last_field_sync: 654

FSD - returning 0
where inputs0_index is 1663345 etc - which I don’t think should just
keep counting symbols indefinitely, and returning 0 I guess means it’s
stuck looping over the same data or something.
Maybe it’s finding a field sync at offset 724 in the input stream,
bumping up inputs0_index by that much and exiting, then reentering
expecting to find the field sync at 0, doesn’t find it (lost sync) -
searches again and finds it out at 724, adds that, exits, lather rinse
repeat.
