We have got a new USRP2 and TVRX and DBSRX recievers. Though the system
seems
to work when the TVRX daughter board is installed using the USRP2 fft
script, it does not seem to work with the DBSRX board installed.
That is there seems to be just noise coming in regardless of what
frequency
or bandwidth setting you are using. Does any one know of any special
tricks
when using the DBSRX board?

Attention everybody!
When asking questions, it really helps us help you if you tell us
some basic information about your situation. At a minimum, tell us
what version of GNU Radio you are running: tarball (which one) or
trunk (which rev), your OS/version/distribution and architecture.
In your specific case, which firmware are you running? Did you build
it from source, or did you download it? Off the top of my head, I’m
not sure when the support for the DBSRX went into the trunk, but it’s
there.
I didn’t install the software my supervisor did (he knows what he’s
doing) but he used the latest from the trunk a few days ago, as the
tarball he originally used didn’t show any USRP2 items.
If these a way to find a version number of the installed software please
let me know.
The memory card had the original version software on it and after it
didn’t work he upgrade it with UR2_rev3 & txrx.bin.
Not sure about the where the daughter board_id shows up but I’m
presuming its the hex type number after the FS@Gbe sequence.
if so with the dbrx installed then its returning 0X001 also we are
getting Analog BB:0 and DDC:0, also there is no gain slider. When the
tvrx is installed we are getting 0X0040 anolog BB:756M DDC: 44M, and
the gain slider is present.
At a uninformed guess I am wondering if the dbrx is talking to the
usrp2?
At the moment I’m trying to install the grc package but unfortunitly I
can’t seem to get python lxml 2.00 to install.

The code for the DBSRX board in the USRP2 has been written and is in
the trunk firmware as of r10392. However, we have not made a
pre-compiled firmware image available yet that has this in it. You
can get the compile included in the GNU Radio compilation by having
the mb-gcc compiler installed. See the section:
“How do I compile the firmware for the aeMB RISC processor?”
Hi everyone,
I am new to gnuradio, so this may be basic. Searching online, I couldn’t
find a solution (other than advising to ditch the PC I am using )
I am running the usrp_siggen.py script to generate a sin wave using the
2.4GHz board and I get the following error when running the script:
uUuU == USRP underrun (not enough sample ready to send to USRP sink)
I’m also attempting to get a DBSRX working in a USRP2, and am looking
forward to obtaining the instructions and code. Any chance they’re already
available somewhere and I missed them?
Sorry for the delay.
This will only work if you have a DBSRX which says “Rev 2.2”. This
should be most units from 2007, and everything from 2008 or 2009. It
will not work with older DBSRX boards. For those, there is no way to
use them with the USRP2.
There are 2 steps to the process:
1 - Put the DBSRX on a USRP1 on Side A, connect it to a computer, and
run the command:
burn-db-eeprom -A --force -t dbsrx2
2 - Remove R193 (which is 10 ohms, 0603 size) and put it on R194, which
is empty. This is made somewhat more complicated by the fact that the
silkscreen is not clear in that area. R193 is on the back, immediately
below the large beige connector, J2. R194 is just below, and to the
left of R193. The silkscreen for R193 is ok, but for R194, it is upside
down, and partially cut off.
If you lose R193, you can use anything from 0 to 10 ohms there.
