[Discuss-gnuradio] Interesting with the zero-copy loop buffer of GNU Radio.
Hi, I'm intersting with the buffer mechanism of GNU Radio. Is there any document about it? Or can someone explain it to me. Many THANKS! ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
[Discuss-gnuradio] libtool/gcc iproblems
I thought I would shot this out over the list to see if anyone has dealt with this. I was able to build gnuradio and when I went to run make in gnuradio-core I ran into this: libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64//libfftw3f.la' seems to be moved grep: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libstdc++.la' is not a valid libtool archive I have all the dependencies installed so I was hoping someone might have dealt with this before. I know it has to do with how the libraries are being linked but everything I have read online has given me a mixed picture of what I need to do.

You can think of jack as providing virtual patchcords among the inputs and/or outputs of all the audio applications you have running. What you have to be aware of is that all the applications using jack have to share a common sampling rate and fundamental buffer size. An individual app that uses a different rate or internal buffer size is reponsible for rebuffering and resampling. Jack provides lock-free ringbuffers to smooth out things like that. In addition, each link in a chain of jack-connected applications increases the latency of the final output by one buffer. If you want to minimize total latency, it's best to put as many processing steps as possible into a single jack application. For that reason, some algorithms are better realized as plugins rather than standalone applications. The plugin API's are well-developed and straightforward, and there are a number of existing applications which act as little more than skeletons for plugins. 73 Frank AB2KT ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

It's basically a single writer, multiple reader FIFO with the FIFO implemented as circular buffer using an MMU trick. The high level interface is in gr_buffer.{h,cc}. The circular buffer via MMU trick is factored out into gr_vmcircbuf*.{h,cc}. The abstract interface to the trick is in gr_vmcircbuf.h http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/doc/classgr__buffer.html See especially the collaboration diagram for gr_block:; http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/doc/classgr__block.html After taking a look at the code, let me know if you've got more questions.

If so, then for your low interpolation rate cases your system is failing to be able to drive the USRP at full speed (32MB/s). What kind of h/w are you running? 7KHz offset between two 2.4GHz boards is well within spec. That's only 3 parts per million. There's a known problem with the first few samples being hosed on either or both of receive and transmit. Larry Doolittle fixed this in his UXO sweeper gadget, but we have yet to sort out the fix and integrate it into our USRP firmware.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Interpolation in usrp_siggen
Hi Eric, The OS I am using is Linux 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 The hardware I am using is Memory of 512MB, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz. As u predicted, I do observe a number of underruns on stderr when the interpolation rate is set to low values. This might explain the results for the case when interpolation is set to 16 but I dont understand still why the receiver is getting almost nothing when the interpolation at the sender is 4, 8,12. The decimation rate is set to constant at the receiver at 64. Your mail has raised a number of questions with me (kindly bear with me). 1) What is the behavior (output) of the DUC and interpolator when it doesnot get samples at the required rate (say it gets a burst of them with a period of silence followed by another burst)? 2) How do I bypass the bandpass filter on the RFX 2400, it would be great if I could move to some other frequency range which doesn't have 802.11 interference. 3) What happens when I quit a program which is sending a sinosoidal using ctrl-c (like the usrp_siggen.py). I mean what is the reaction of the usrp. I am asking this because of yet another observation, when I see the signal at the receiver in this case. The end of the samples for the sinusoidal I am observing again ends with a low frequency component and then a low amplitude component, I have attached the plots on the site. http://nms.csail.mit.edu/~gshyam/sineStop2.jpg The x axis is the samples and the y axis the I component of the signal. As u can see at the sampl point 4000 the low frequency sin(7.45k) starts. http://nms.csail.mit.edu/~gshyam/sineStop1.jpg This figure shows how the low frequency component ends. Kindly pls answer my questions.

[Discuss-gnuradio] OT: Is there any Linux GPIB control software for an HP 8640 SigGen (and not Labview...)
Ok, I have my USRP setup understood, now I want to setup a calibration procedure, using an HP 8640B Signal Generator. The last time I had an interest in GPIB was in the early 80's and programming the TI 9914... (whatever happened to the TI 9900 CPU... but I digress...). Anyway, I basically want to be able to set the HP for a give frequency and amplitude, then acquire a set of FFT samples, then move to the next frequency. Rather than have someone take 80 samples per setting, running across the HP output range, and the USRP 'gain', decimation settings, etc. I would like to automate this. So, is there some linux package that allows for controlling the HP via a GPIB interface card, which does not involve the still expensive LabView? Thanks.

I'm not aware that the 8640B has any GPIB capabilities; it's a manually tuned instrument and doesn't have a CPU. But as a general answer for GPIB on Linux, there is the Linux-GPIB project at http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net. It supports most of the GPIB cards (including PCMCIA and USB interfaces) that are out there, and works pretty well. It provides a C library that's largely (though not completely) compatible with the NI interface, and it also has bindings for several languages, including perl and python.

Also, the code to control it is already written, and it has a wider IF passband than most scanners. FWIW, I've got a AR8600 with a 10.7 MHz output, but I haven't had occasion to used it since Matt started shipping daughterboards that cover the bands I'm interested in. With a TVRX and DBSRX, you've got coverage from 50 MHz to 2.4 GHz. Eric ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
