Hi all,
I am trying to create a two transmitter setup with two USRP2s
connected
with the MIMO cable. I use the trunk version of GNURadio (Friday, Jan
29,2010) on laptops running Ubuntu 9.04.
From previous emails and looking at the code, the relevant code for two
transmitter setup seems to be the test_mimo_tx file in usrp2/host/apps.
I
update the firmware of the master USRP2 with mimo_tx.bin as pointed out
in
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/USRP2UserFAQ.
sudo ./u2_flash_tool --dev=/dev/sdb -t s/w apps/mimo_tx.bin -w
and for the slave USRP2, I use
sudo ./u2_flash_tool --dev=/dev/sdb -t s/w apps/mimo_tx_slave.bin -w
When I invoke the transmission program at the sender laptop using
sudo ./test_mimo_tx -f 2.412G -I a.dat -i 100 -r
I observe the following message:
usrp2::ctor reset_db failed.
The USRP2 freezes after this and the host cannot find it using
find_usrps.
The archives of the mailing list suggest updating the firmware to solve
this
issue. But I want to use the MIMO firmware and not the usual txrx.bin.
-
Is there firmware for the MIMO master and slave, which does not have
this
problem? -
What modifications need to be incorporated to the current MIMO files
to
fix this problem?
If there is not a solution already, I am thinking of modifying the
existing
MIMO USRP2 related files. Any pointers on what are to be taken care of,
will
be very useful.
Thanks,
Sri
