Hello list,
I have two USRP1s and four DBSRX2 daughterboards. I would like to
synchronise the USRPs, to build a coherent, sample aligned, four channel
receiver (inputs from four separate antennas). I had hoped I could do
this by modifying and connecting the boards as described here:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/1/USRPClockingNotes
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/1/MultiUsrp
And then modifying the usrp_multi code to work with UHD. If this
approach works, it looks like I have to replace the lines (amongst
others):
u1 = usrp.source_s (1, decim, nchan, gru.hexint(mux),
mode,fpga_filename=“multi_2rxhb_2tx.rbf” )
u0 = usrp.source_s (0, decim, nchan, gru.hexint(mux),
mode,fpga_filename=“multi_2rxhb_2tx.rbf” )
But, how do I set the mux and mode values if I replace these with
instances of uhd.single_usrp_source? And is the multi_2rxhb_2tx.rbf
image likely to work still with UHD? I’m pretty new to this so any
pointers, or suggestions for a better approach, appreciated…
I’m also having problems with the UHD multi_usrp_source, trying to use
this in GRC for some initial experiments with the boards unsynced. With
Num Mboards = 2, device addresses of either “serial=XXXXXXXX,
serial=YYYYYYYY” or “name=usrp_master, name=usrp_slave” (either way
round) and the same subdev spec “A:0 B:0” for both, I can find the first
board but not the second. Maybe I’ve just got the syntax wrong or is
there another problem?
File “/home/ac2/grc/top_block.py”, line 70, in
tb = top_block()
File “/home/ac2/grc/top_block.py”, line 40, in init
self.uhd_multi_usrp_source_0.set_subdev_spec(“A:0 B:0”, 1)
File
“/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnuradio/uhd/uhd_swig.py”, line
887, in set_subdev_spec
return _uhd_swig.uhd_multi_usrp_source_sptr_set_subdev_spec(*args,
**kwargs)
RuntimeError: vector::_M_range_check
With Num Mboards = 1, I get past this point but not much further:
thread[thread-per-block[0]: <gr_block uhd multi_usrp source (3)>]:
cannot get this property
in void usrp1_impl::mboard_get(const wax::obj&, wax::obj&)
at /home/ac2/gnuradio-uhd/uhd/host/lib/usrp/usrp1/mboard_impl.cpp:329
What’s going wrong here? Two separate single sources works fine. I’m
using a fairly recent build, source downloaded from git on 3rd Jan, and
Ubuntu 9.04 for what that’s worth.
Thanks,
Andy
