Re: [USRP-users] Extending 'tx_sample_from_file ' to send multiple files over multiple TX

The N310 stock filesystem does not have gnradio. You are right that my focus is on the wrong thing. I just tried benchmark_rate and tx_waveforms and they stream just fine at 1.25Ms/s. I'm going to go back and read the documentation more carefully. We might be saving our waveform in a form that UH

1. 1.25 Ms/s would be nice but lower is ok. We are trying to sound some channels as a test so bandwidth is not a big deal. 2. If gnuradio can run on the arm cpu then thats great! We already have python files (made by gr-companion) so all we would need to do is make a custom N310 filesystem that h

Hi, I just realized that even one instance of TX_sample_from_file from the internal Linux is a no go. In fact I think I was in a thread about this very subject a few months ago. Someone explicitly said the ARM cpu would be too weak to stream samples. Even streaming one file at the lowest possibl

Hi Ali, A few comments... 1) perhaps use gnuradio and attach four file source blocks to the usrp. This is probably the easiest. 2) perhaps modify the tx_samples_from_file as you suggested. If you want to go this route, I may be able to dig up some old code where we did this. 3) In either case abov

Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up a few N310's in neighboring buildings. I want each N310 to be its own 4 TX transmitter. For space and cost reasons I am putting the waveforms (in binary float32) directly on the SD card filesystem. My goal is to have each N310 send the waveform on loop indefin
