USRP connected to EFIKA

GNU Radio
1

It seems like my hobby is attaching USRP’s to non-PC based hardware.
Todays board is an EFIKA: Genesi - Home

Here are the results of the usrp test programs:

root@efika:/home/sca/waveforms/ossie_demo$ test_usrp_standard_rx -D 256
xfered 1.34e+08 bytes in 268 seconds. 4.999e+05 bytes/sec. cpu time =
9.294
noverruns = 0
root@efika:/home/sca/waveforms/ossie_demo$ test_usrp_standard_tx -I 512
xfered 1.34e+08 bytes in 268 seconds. 4.999e+05 bytes/sec. cpu time =
15
0 underruns

The EFIKA is USB Full speed machine and I still haven’t worked out how
to get the FPGA and the FX2 to talk properly for that case. The
transfer numbers are “funny”,

The EFIKA should be interesting to GNU radio folks since the processor
has a FPU and there is a slot for a video card.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the USB inferface on the EFIKA
only USB 1? I have got a board like this and is planning to use it
with the USRP, but assumed that I had to buy a USB2 pci card.
