Using M-Blocks

GNU Radio
1

Hello all,

I am very interested in using mblocks to implement a TDMA system. All
that
the information I can find (mainly old discuss posts) say that an
‘acceptable solution’ has not been found for communicating between the
mblock domain and the gr-block domain, I am curious as to what
‘acceptable’
means in this situation; does it mean it doesn’t work at the maximum
rate?
Or does it mean that all the solutions that have been tried have
something
fundamentally wrong with them that actually means it won’t work at all?
Also
what ideas have been tested?

Is there any examples of using m-blocks to create an actual application
(not
just a qa)?

Thanks,
Kieran

Kieran,

I think your best bet is to wait a little bit longer while we
implement the new asynchronous message passing in GNU Radio. It’s
specifically aimed to handle the kind of thing you want to do. Right
now I’m preoccupied with getting 3.2 out the door, but the message
passing is the next thing I’ll be working on.

See this thread for an overview of what we’re planning:
