Hello,
We are working with the srsRAN software package (www.srslte.com). Our
hardware configuration is a laptop running the srsRAN application
under Ubuntu, connected via USB to a USRP. It runs well with B200s,
however we do not have access to B200s at the location where our
testing will take place.
What we do have are E310s. The srsRAN application expects a UHD-based
front end, as is standard when using a B200. What we are looking for
is a way to make an E310s look like a B200 to the laptop, accessible
via UHD.
Is there an easy way to do this, like some kind of bypass mode to give
direct access to the radio? MATLAB appears to support this type of
operation but we're not clear how.
Thanks!
E310 have something called "network mode", so you don't have to use them
as a not-very-well-endowed embedded platform. Unfortunately it's
very limited in the bandwidth it can deliver and really isn't
recommended. The last LTS release for E310 that even supported network
mode was
UHD 3.9.
The E310 was really intended as a small embedded platform where if
you're clever you can split functionality between the on-board FPGA, and
the embedded ARM dual-core CPU.
