[Discuss-gnuradio] Underruns using the simplest gnuradio-companion flow graph

Hi. I have tried the simplest possible flow-graph. A sine-source->Throttle->Audio-sink. But I get about 1 Hz drop outs and the message pane keeps writing aU. Using top the process seems to laod the system less than 2 % and the total load on both processor kernels is well below 20 %. The samling ra

[Discuss-gnuradio] Underruns

2010-10-15 Thread Blacksquirrel
Hello, I've been getting a series of underruns when running a USRP2 at 10MHz (Interpolation = 10) using RTS and a fast machine. I plugged a serial cable into the UART and can see one or more 'U's pop up on the screen. Depending on how many custom blocks I have, the occurrence of a U can take from

[Discuss-gnuradio] underruns at medium sample rates using UHD

2010-10-15 Thread Christoph Thein
Hey list, I regularly encounter underrun messages when running the UHD transmitter (uhd_mimo_sink or uhd_simple_sink) with sample rates of 12.5 MSps or higher. The OS (Ubuntu 10.04, 64bit) setup is according to the guidelines (realtime priority for user, buffer size set to recommended 50 MB)
