Loading FPGA file to 4 bladeRF devices on a single laptop

Hi all,

I want to use 4 bladeRF devices on a single laptop. This means I have to
load the FPGA file to all of 4 bladeRF devices.
However, currently I can only load the PFGA file to 2 devices.
I am using the command:

bladeRF-cli -l <path/to/FPGA/file>

Does anyone know how to load the FPGA file to 4 bladeRF devices on a
single
laptop? Please help me with this!
Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Van-Ly

I solved my problem by using the argument bladerf=i with i = 0,1,2,3

Thank you all,

Hi Van-Ly,

You might want to consider the Nuand forums [1], for bladeRF questions
that
don’t directly pertain to GNU Radio.

As far as loading the FPGA, I would recommend you review the bladeRF
wiki
[2] with respect to having the
host software automatically load FPGA when opening a device handle.
Personally, I prefer this method over
all others, and prefer to store bitstreams in ~/.config/Nuand/bladeRF/.

The gr-osmosdr wiki page [3] also provides a list of supported device
arguments. One of these allows you
to specify an FPGA to load.

Best regards,
Jon
