[Discuss-gnuradio] Osx devel

2009-11-01 Thread cosmin Cosmin

Hi,
Who actually developp gnuradio for osx PPC and Intel systems?What about 
integrate PyObjc or py2app for gr-video-sdl on osx?
Just a suggestion.
Best,
Cosmin

[Discuss-gnuradio] Assertion `dac_rate () == 128000000' failed.

2009-11-01 Thread Alexander Chemeris
Hi all,

Could any of GnuRadio developers remove this assert?

usrp_standard.cc:1024: virtual bool usrp_standard_tx::set_tx_freq(int,
double): Assertion `dac_rate () == 12800' failed.

It's no longer valid when you reclock your USRP and just makes
it impossible to use libusrp in this case.

I'm now trying to make GnuRadio usable with OpenBTS without
patching of GnuRadio and this is show-stopper for me now.

PS Whom should I contact with more re-clocking related fixes?
To date no Python examples seem to work with re-clocked USRP
without patching. I'm seeking for a way to make them working
without too much changes. Probably USRP FPGA frequency can
be set from environment variable? Is there any nicer way to do this?

Alexander Chemeris.

Hello Everyone,
   My first post:
I am a windows kernel programmer by profession.Recently my interest
has grown for SDR gnuradio.I an new to this field so I have newbie
doubts.I would welcome if you just point to some links for my answers.
 1] What is usrp cfile format? complex/float but whats stored in numbers
 like amplitude/intensity/phase difference etc.


Its a binary file containing 64-bit complex numbers where each 64 bit 
complex number is 2 32-bit floating point numbers corresponding to to 
the real and imaginary parts of a complex number.



 2] Is frequency also stored in the cfile ? or we have to assume
frequency from file name? How to reconstruct complete/sampled signal
from Cfile ?


You need to know the sampling rate and baseband frequency, the file is 
just raw data samples without any context.



 3] Any scripts to read from cfile(Until USRP2 stocks are back :) ).I
have tried several old scripts but they  don't run  in latest gnuradio ?
Though i have made my own in GRC using
file-source->throttle->graphical-fft-sink.But i doubt on it as i am newbie.


That grc flowgraph would work fine. To be accurate, you have to set the 
samp_rate in the flowgraph and the baseband freq on the fft.



 4] Can we write non graphical code also in GRC itself.


See the options block->generate mode.


 5] Can't we use c/c++  instead of python.Its problematic to match even
indentations/tab/spaces.totally newbie to python.



Of course, here is a c++ example code 
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/gnuradio-examples/c++


Although, python development is going to be a lot easier. I set my 
editor to show whitespaces, never have a problem.

 ah - eek! i wasn't anticipating it to be that much.  i was expecting
a much-reduced amount of data.

 ohh, ok - so it's doable - just rather technical :)

 thanks for responding, tim.

dear gnuradio developers,

i was searching on opencores.org to see if there was a SoC that
incorporates an FPGA(-like) device with an open core, and i
accidentally encountered the above USB-FPGA board.  it has a Cypress
CY7C68013A/14A 480mb/s USB-2 Microcontroller and a Xilinx Spartan-3
XC3S400 FPGA.  it is also accompanied by a developer board:

  http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/exp-1.1.e.html

the price for the USB-FPGA is an incredibly-low $EUR 70, and the
developer board is only $20.

so my primary question is: is this USB-FPGA board (apart from the
issue of connecting to A-D / D-A boards) suitable for use to do an
802.11b transceiver?  is it fast enough?

many thanks,

l.

This is a fairly loaded question, as it completely depends on WHERE you 
implement certain portions of the 802.11b waveform.  The primary 
bottleneck is the USB bus, and you can't get 20 MHz of bandwidth over 
that bus.  BBN and whoever else worked on the current GNU radio 802.11b 
waveform solved this by moving the despreading to the FPGA.  This is 
just one example.  In the end, it completely depends on where you 
implement the latency and bandwidth sensitive components of the waveform.

[Discuss-gnuradio] ztex USB-FPGA board

2009-11-01 Thread Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
http://shop.ztex.de/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=28

dear gnuradio developers,

i was searching on opencores.org to see if there was a SoC that
incorporates an FPGA(-like) device with an open core, and i
accidentally encountered the above USB-FPGA board.  it has a Cypress
CY7C68013A/14A 480mb/s USB-2 Microcontroller and a Xilinx Spartan-3
XC3S400 FPGA.  it is also accompanied by a developer board:

  http://www.ztex.de/usb-fpga-1/exp-1.1.e.html

the price for the USB-FPGA is an incredibly-low $EUR 70, and the
developer board is only $20.

so my primary question is: is this USB-FPGA board (apart from the
issue of connecting to A-D / D-A boards) suitable for use to do an
802.11b transceiver?  is it fast enough?

many thanks,

l.
