[Discuss-gnuradio] How to recover USRP MB EEPROM

2016-11-18 Thread Robert Light
I have a couple of old USRP1 and B100 boards that I am trying to revive. My question is, how do I burn a startup code to EEPROM of: 1. USRP1 2. B100 3. RFX1800 ? Does any of the UHD utils allow to dump all the contents of my old EEPROMS bit by bit to a file? Rob

2013-12-14 Thread Robert Light
Hi, I have an RFX1800 board with modifications allowing it to work in 900MHz and 1800MHz band. What I find annoying is that if I want to use it in both bands, each time I have to reprogram EEPROM. Life would be a lot easier if I had one driver that tunes the board in the whole freq range 750-2100

[Discuss-gnuradio] B100 clock with UHD

2014-01-20 Thread Robert Light
Hi, I run B100 with OpenBTS. I thought the reconfigurable clock on B100 board would run with OpenBTS at 52MHz but I actually measure the sampling clock as 64MHz. So, where is the resampling done? Is the driver Transceiver52MHz used with B100 or not? Can someone shine some light on how it actually

does the resampling happen? Or, am I wrong thinking that OpenBTS uses Transceiver52MHz ? Where is the UHD in this chain ? Regards, Robert   Gesendet: Dienstag, 21. Januar 2014 um 02:28 Uhr Von: "Ben Hilburn" An: "Robert Light" Cc: "GNURadio Discussion List" B

[Discuss-gnuradio] B200 clock calibration

2014-05-14 Thread Robert Light
I try to get B200 to work with OpenBTS and I see some frequency offset in the internal reference clock. Does anyone know if the numbers I get from kalibrate, could cause phones not to be able to register to OpenBTS? What is the quickest and the cheapest way fix a problem with a clock? I think B2

Hi, I use B200 with OpenBTS at 900MHz. I get very low range (about 10m only) and I identified that this is due to receive channel in B200. Changing rxgain between 0 and 70dB makes vey little difference. Does anyone know how the receive sensitivity of B200 compare with, for example, WBX? What cou

Hi, How is the detection of GPSDO done in B200 ? I see that UHD tries to detect GPSDO every time I use B200 but what is it looking for? How to force switching between internal, external and GPSDO clock ? I have GPSDO installed but sometimes I want to force another clock source. Also is there some

Is 1PPS used if I have GPSDO installed or does the B200 assume that 10MHz is already good enough? ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

e problem could be this time. Looks like the usb transfer is working, but every attempt to change the settings of rfx1800 or usrp fails. The same board works fine on another computer.   Gesendet: Donnerstag, 07. November 2013 um 11:02 Uhr Von: "Ralph A. Schmid, dk5ras" An: "
