[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP Rev4 FX2 firmware question. Initializing FIFOs ?

2009-03-20 Thread Ryan Seal
I have been working on modifications to the USRP board so that I can pass a gating signal through the basic RX daughterboard to gate signal collection for a pulsed radar application. This is somewhat working, but I am having problems with data alignment when stopping and starting the system

Hi, I'm a new comer to usrp2. If we want to use a reference 10MHz clock instead of 100MHz, is there any hardware modification needed? Now I only change the fpga_master_clock_freq in usrp2_impl.cc from *freq = 1L to *freq = 1000L. I tried to send digital signal in gnuradio-example/pyth

Hi Ali, I have done the similar as a part in my thesis as well. But I used two USRPs to serve as receiver and transmitter. When u try to listen on a daughter board using same USRP and transmit simultaneously ( which I tried ) you do not receive the transmitted signal. I did not dwell much on this
