[Discuss-gnuradio] --disable-all-components --enable-gr-usrp doesn't built

2006-11-11 Thread Berndt Josef Wulf
G'day,

./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/pkg/share/examples --disable-all-components 
--without-libintl-prefix --prefix=/usr/pkg --host=i386--netbsdelf --mandi
r=/usr/pkg/man

doesn't build due to usrp not being build.

To reproduce, on a system with the usrp-module already installed, install a 
fresh tarball and try to build gr-usrp only.

The following comment was found inside the configure script:

# Don't do gr-usrp if usrp skipped
# There *has* to be a better way to check if a value is in a string

I consider this to be a bug since configure should check for availability of 
the usrp-module system wide and not just inside the tarball package.

I successfully built gr-usrp after bypassing this limitation.

Whilst most users will build usrp and gr-usrp together, IMHO, a fix is 
desirable in order to be consistent and enable modular packaging of gnuradio.

cheerio Berndt

[Discuss-gnuradio] Sampling rate mismatch in Fedora Core 5

2006-11-11 Thread Tarun Tiwari
Hi,After a long wait I recieved the hardware. I was trying to run FM Reciever but there is some problem related to the sampling rate of my computer. I received following error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usrp]# ./usrp_wfm_rcv.pyUsing RX d'board A: Basic Rx gr_fir_ccf: using SSE
 gr_fir_fff: using SSEaudio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: unable to support sampling rate 32000
 card requested 44100 instead.** (python:16205): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
** (python:16205): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
FYI: No Powermate or Contour Knob foundThe GUI is opening very well, and I can see the frequency spectrum. After getting this error, I wen to the control centre of Fedora Core 5, and changed the default sampling rate to 32000 Hz, but the problem was not resolved.
Can somebody tell me how to deal with this problem? And, what does the IPP Request error tell exactly?Thank youTarun

Copy'n'pasted from the archives:
The solution is to add -O plughw:0,0 to the end of your command line
(without the quotes), which causes ALSA to resample the output to be
at a compatible sample rate.

 Or does it?

It depends on whether or not you need to be able to control the
attached daughterboard too.

 I then load the .rbf file to the FPGA, connect the io_rx_a outputs of the
  LFRX daughter board to the logic analyzer and observe what I get. I make
  sure that no antenna is connected to the RX-A port.
  To my surprise, some of the upper bits toggle. For example, bit 11, 10,
 9,
  8, 5 ,4 , 3 ,2 ,1 0, toggle. Since I should only be getting noise, I was
  expecting to get a very low signal where only the least significant bit
  would be switiching between low and high values.
 
 Are they being driven or are they just floating?
 
 No antenna is connected to the RX-A and RX-B ports , so those are floating.


 But the debug pins are connected to the logic analyzer. (I am not sure if I
 answered you're question, when you say they are you referring to the DEBUG
 pins or the input ports? )

No, not the antenna, the i/o pins.  My guess is that you haven't
output enabled them.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Avoiding plug-n-fry design

2006-11-11 Thread John Gilmore
It's beginning to look like future daughterboards should include an
attenuator or fuse or something.  This would avoid the idiotic result
that you plug 'transmit' into 'receive', as any sane computer-oriented
person would do, and (invisibly) fry your board.

Having the same connector on the tx and rx ports makes it that much
more likely to happen.  (I'm not arguing that we should enter
connector hell by making them different!)

Prominently selling a loopback cable that includes an appropriate
attenuator would also be a positive step.  Perhaps each amplified
transmiter should come with one, in a nice ethernet-orange color.

There was some discussion of this a while ago, but it apparently

Erlend, that's not much of a hint.  It is a file that you wrote, right?

It is part of the tree from the svn point of view.

It is designed to be built _outside_ of the tree so that folks can
generate their own extensions without be constantly stomped on when we
update the main tree.
