Help on OpenBTS Segmentation Fault

This is about an OpenBTS Running Error.

I followed all the instructions on the following page and installed
OpenBTS and all the other components needed: gnuradio, asterisk, zoiper,
etc.
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/OpenBTS/BuildingAndRunning

My environment: Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop 32 bits version on an Acer laptop
with Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3200.

OpenBTS: Build 10776
GNURadio: Build 10776

First I powered up USRP with two RFX900 boards connected in the
recommended way.

Second, I started asterisk and zoiper. I could see the test user in
Zoiper registered with asterisk.

Then I started the ./transceiver, the display was:

./Transceiver$ ./transceiver

1238941861.849575 3083531968: making USRP device…

Then I opened another terminal window and started OpenBTS900, the
displayed messages were like

Segmentation fault

It is very consistent this way every time I ran it… It first happened
with build 10666 of gnuradio and openbts. Then I uninstalled them and
installed build 10776 of both. But the error still exists.

Please shed some light on this error and how I should debug.

Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem with my OpenSuse 11.0 32_bit,

If I direct the output of “Transceiver/transceiver” to /dev/null getting
the
segmentation fault takes a bit longer after a number of
“1239002787.154969
3083000720: USRPDevice.cpp:347: WARNING – UNDERRUN in TRX->USRP
interface”
warnings. Any ideas on what might I have done wrong?


Well, i am very new to the GnuRadio and OpenBTS sorry if the issue was
already solved newbie one.

Thanks,

Use gdb and figure out where the segfault is occurring, then find out
why it’s segfaulting, then submit a patch to fix it.
