[USRP-users] DPDK setup with N320

2019-10-15 Thread Lundberg, Daniel via USRP-users
My end goal is to use Gnuradio with an N320 to support 250 MS/s streaming. I am posting to the USRP users list first, because I think that's the current area of the problem. I suspect I have a permissions or uhd.conf issue, but the documentation on how to set this up correctly is lacking. I c

y, assume one CPU core per stream for the wire- to CPU-format conversion, plus a bit of demand for someone handling OS/network card interrupts. What're you doing with the samples afterwards? Best regards, Marcus On Fri, 2019-09-06 at 21:53 +, Lundberg, Daniel via USRP-users wrote: > D

Does anyone have a known good hardware configuration to support full (or at least close to full) 200 MS/s streaming from the N320? Preferably with 1 Tx and 2 Rx channels. As a data point, a recent i3 (4 cores) seems to be choking above 62.5 MS/s. This is over dual SFP+ ports. At higher sampli

Just a couple of sanity checks on this...You have to make sure that 1) You don't already have a GPSDO installed on your B210. If you do, the external reference won't make it in. 2) Assuming you don't have the GPSDO, you have to tell the B210 to use the external reference instead of i

I had a similar problem where I wanted to measure the phase and magnitude stability of a system over long periods of time, but only needed small chunks of data to characterize the drift. I solved this by creating a top block that uses the head block and a file sink to write a defined number of

I am following the instructions for using the replay block with the N310 (https://kb.ettus.com/Using_the_RFNoC_Replay_Block). I have established that I can replay play a relatively small file (~5 MB) without issues. However, for much larger files, I get some strange artifacts on the output (pe
