Hi Steve, As an addon to Jonathon's email, you haven't actually said that you want to store filter taps. If you are storing generic data then the embedded regs are unlikely to be helpful for you because you are not going to be using the data with DSP48s. Regards, Derek On Fri, Jun 8, 2018 at 6:0

Hi Steve, USE_EMBEDDED_REGS_COEFFS means that the filter will attempt to infer the DSP48's embedded registers (specifically register B) for storing coefficients. You should refer to Xilinx's DSP48 design doc https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug479_7Series_DSP48E1.pdf. Using

What I have noticed over the years is the only impact to tuning is the first time you tune, the file is read in and any disk IO is slow relatively speaking. Subsequent tunes after the first are much faster and consistent :) > On June 7, 2018 at 1:04 PM Dave NotTelling via USRP-users > wrote:

The same solution that works for E310 won't work for X310. The easiest fix will be to use a DDC block to reduce the sample rate ahead of the Split Stream block. The RFNoC bus cannot handle two full-rate streams on a single NoC port. Nick On Thu, Jun 7, 2018, 2:44 AM Juan Francisco via USRP-users
