Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 + UHD MIMO implementation

2011-01-21 Thread Josh Blum
You may want to use the uhd_multi_usrp_blocks. They handle alignment and synchronization in the driver. They can be used with and without the MIMO cable. That is to say, that the MIMO cable is transparent to the operation. -Josh On 01/21/2011 06:41 PM, Yong J. Chang wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm w

The configure check is very simple. Just make sure that uhd.pc is in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and that if you look at uhd.pc, the version should read 002.. If not, then you didnt update or install the latest uhd, that could be another reason its getting rejected. -Josh On 01/21/2011 04:21 PM, Fabian
