All,
I’m having a problem getting scheduled transmissions to occur when I
think they should.
I am sending out tx packets with:
start_of_burst = 1
send_now = 0
end_of_burst = 1 if just 1 packet, else 0
timestamp = “the appropriate value”
The timestamp hardware has been configured to reset every PPS.
The behavior I’m trying to achieve is one/burst packet sent every 640
ms.
The calculated timestamps appear to be set correctly (i.e., I’ve
checked them and they advance by 640ms and wrap when they “overflow” a
second).
I thought that the USRP2 might throttle my code (i.e., not accept
another send (transmit request) while a send is pending) but that does
not appear to be happening (i.e., the code pretty much continuously
sends xmits)
What I see is a bunch of packets going out, then a few go out, then a
bunch more (repeat indefinitely).
I realize a might “buy” myself a little time if I didn’t reset the
timestamp h/w every second, but it will wrap eventually, so I had
thought that it didn’t matter (however, if it does, I’d appreciate
learning so).
Any thoughts/suggestions very much appreciated.
Thanks!
