[Discuss-gnuradio] Cypress FX2 problems

2007-07-24 Thread Darrell Harmon
I am currently working on an SDR board with a LTC2208 16 bit 125 MHz ADC and a 14 bit 125 MHz DAC and everything is working well except for the USB interface. I am using the Cypress FX2LP CY7C68013A-56PVXC chip. It is driving the SLOE/PA2 pin at all times (even in reset). It is supposed to defa

[Discuss-gnuradio] File transfer through USRP

Hi, I'm a newbie to this area and trying to transfer file through USRP. I've read some documentation and tutorial about how FM receiver works on USRP. However, file transfer seems not that easy since the receiver must to notify when the file start and end. Also, I'm not sure how to turn binary 0

After some major debugging, I have found a fix for this problem. To summarize the problem again: the transmitter seems to flip the IQ channels at random during packet transmissions, even though I do not make any changes to mux settings or other USRP settings. In order to fix this bug, I had to mod
