Subject: Re: [USRP-users] USRP X310 Ubuntu 16.04 LowLatency Timing Problems Possibly Because of UHD Drivers To: Marcus D. Leech <patchvonbr...@gmail.com <mailto:patchvonbr...@gmail.com>>


Hello Marcus,

OK, I tried, it seems the HW is not supporting the desired rate. It is a NI CBX120 MHz daughterboard with USRP X310. Does that make sense? I thought these sample rates were specifically for this HW??

ulak@5g-NR-gNB:/usr/local/lib/uhd/examples$ sudo ./tx_samples_from_file --rate 61.44e6

Include "master_clock_rate=184.32e6" in your device arguments--the default master clock is 200MHz, and 61.44Msps is definitely not an integer
  fraction of 200MHz...

    Dear all,


    We are trying to make the OpenAirInterface 5G SW work on our own

    For different UHD versions we get different results. Firstly, we
    know that the OAI setup in France is using the following driver
    and gives the following output:

    By the way, we have bought CBX 120MHz daughterboards instead of
    CBX 40MHz but would that actually create any problems? I thought
    it is just the RF difference but maybe some configuration is
    necessary from the drivers?


    Then we downloaded and compiled the latest UHD version:

    Configuration is successful and we can run the code with it but
    we get late packets in the beginning and end. Also samples are
    missed every 50-100 ms.

    Our setup should be capable of running the SW, so it has to be
    the UHD driver or the 10 GbE cable but we are using optical
    fiber, so I do not think the problem is that either.


    Then we tried another UHD version from the USRP X310 recovery page:

    Your help would be much appreciated.


    Regards,

    Start by using a simpler program to diagnose the basics. .

    Use something like tx_samples_from_file at your desired rates  (or
    tx_waveforms).  Do those work? The problem with using full-up complex
      applications for problem diagnosis is that they don't actually
    tell you very much--it's hard to decompose.
