Re: [USRP-users] B200 USB high CPU usage

2018-02-17 Thread Marcus Müller via USRP-users
Hi Kasper, SIMD is fine and all, for sample processing in the end (for example, to convert the samples from on-the-wire format to something your CPU can calculate with), but it's really no "fix it all" for this kind of thing: Significant workload is handling the fact that your USB controller has

2018-02-17 Thread Marcus Müller via USRP-users
Dear Xingjian, that won't be possible as is – the tuning happens in the AD9361, and the FPGA communicates with that over a serial link. There's timing accuracy requirements that we can't meet over that serial link, so that's why Ettus' AD936x-based device can't support timed commands on the analog

2018-02-17 Thread Marcus Müller via USRP-users
Hi Tarik, that REF out port is the 10 MHz clock, and you can choose the internal GPSDO as clock source[1]. Same goes for the PPS out port. Theoretically, you could "daisy-chain" your USRPs, but I wouldn't generally recommend that (we haven't characterized delay, and also, if you can, always avoid

2018-02-17 Thread Marcus Müller via USRP-users
Hi Sumit, my first reaction would be to just merge the two flow graphs and do the collision in software – 100% isolated from changing environments and such. From a hardware perspective: you can use the PPS input on the B210 to set a synchronous time and then trigger transmitting on time stamps.

Hi Navin, I thought someone had replied to you, but it seems I was mistaken. Sorry! So what you're seeing is that your USRP disappears from your USB port. That's almost certainly a problem with your virtualizer. I don't recommend using a B-series device in a VMware VM. The USB handthrough overhe

Dear Ali, as you've noticed, the dB scale in digital samples just means "relative to an arbitrary value", and not "relative to a milliwatt". I think we've talked about that before? So, in any reasonably constructed signal chain, distortion would start to appear close to 0 dB Full-ADC-Scale. So al

Hi Roman, sorry for the delay in getting back to you: Regarding the power consumption: I don't have the Odroid XU4 PCB layout files, but assuming that you need to crank out let's say 1.6 A in sum through the USB3 connectors, don't forget that connector resistances, fuse/power monitoring shunts a

[USRP-users] B2x0 Timed Commands

I recall that the B2x0 series do not support timed commands like the N2x0 or the X3x0 series. While looking through the source code I ran across some code that shows the "time/cmd" entry in the tree being set [1]. That key seems to be what multi_usrp uses to set timed commands [2]. I then went t

To expand on that: timed commands do exist for all things that the FPGA can control – that is: start/stop of sampling, DSP offset tuning, antenna switching, GPIOs etc. They do not work for anything that happens on the AD9361 (analog tuning, gain control,…), because that thing itself isn't controlla
