Re: DOA - gr-doa

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Ali Mahbas:

The gr-doa OOT currently only supports the USRP X300/X310 and the TwinRX
daughterboard.  We have a plan for some updates gr-doa, specifically to
update the supported software stack, and to add support for the UBX
daughterboard.  At this time, it isn't yet clear when that work will be
completed.  The SBX daughterboard should also work, but the CBX
daughterboard will not, as it is not capable of phase coherent operation.

Did you set a custom installation path when you ran CMake?

How did you invoke CMake when you built GNU Radio?

Re: Question about phase synchronization with X310 and two UBX 40

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Masatetsu Wake-san:

I'm excited to hear that you are working with some USRP and GNU Radio users
in Japan!

Since we're both internal to National Instruments (I'm based in Austin,
Texas, USA), let's discuss this question directly, and go from there.

Full Title:
Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain)

Abstract:
This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to
the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and
GNU Radio). We will examine the hardware and architecture of the
entire USRP family of software-defined radios. We will discuss topics
such as how to get started using a new USRP device, how to install and
configure the open-source software toolchain, programming the USRP
using the UHD API from C++, using GNU Radio with the USRP and creating
and running flowgraphs, using GNU Radio from both GRC and Python, and
various debugging techniques. Several exercises will be performed,
such as implementing an FM transmitter and receiver. Various
demonstrations of wireless systems will be shown. A discussion of the
embedded E310 radio and using embedded SDR will be included. Several
other open-source tools will be discussed, such as GQRX, Fosphor,
Inspectrum, and several Out-of-Tree (OOT) modules. A discussion of
cellular applications, including OpenBTS and LTE stacks, as well as
GPS/GNSS applications will be presented. Several other miscellaneous
topics such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, host system performance
tuning, X300/X310 device recovery, and some best practices will be
discussed. Attendees should come away with a solid foundation and
practical understanding of how to configure, program, and use the USRP
to implement a wide range range of wireless systems.

Prerequisites:
Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.
All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using
the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming
language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of
fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Extensive or deep experience with
these topics is not necessary.

Attendees may bring their own equipment.

Full Title:
FPGA Programming on the USRP with the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is
designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA
engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal
processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular,
FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.
RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will

GNU Radio Workshop Description:

Full Title:
Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain)

Abstract:
This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to
the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and
GNU Radio). We will examine the hardware and architecture of the
entire USRP family of software-defined radios. We will discuss topics
such as how to get started using a new USRP device, how to install and
configure the open-source software toolchain, programming the USRP
using the UHD API from C++, using GNU Radio with the USRP and creating
and running flowgraphs, using GNU Radio from both GRC and Python, and
various debugging techniques. Several exercises will be performed,
such as implementing an FM transmitter and receiver. Various
demonstrations of wireless systems will be shown. A discussion of the
embedded E310 radio and using embedded SDR will be included. Several
other open-source tools will be discussed, such as GQRX, Fosphor,
Inspectrum, and several Out-of-Tree (OOT) modules. A discussion of
cellular applications, including OpenBTS and LTE stacks, as well as
GPS/GNSS applications will be presented. Several other miscellaneous
topics such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, host system performance
tuning, X300/X310 device recovery, and some best practices will be
discussed. Attendees should come away with a solid foundation and
practical understanding of how to configure, program, and use the USRP
to implement a wide range range of wireless systems.

RFNoC Workshop Description:

Full Title:
FPGA Programming on the USRP with the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is
designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA
engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal
processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular,
FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.
RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will
present an interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a
discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several
existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a user-defined
CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

==
Details and Logistics:

* The workshops are free, technical, and hands-on.

* Laptop computers and USRP radios will be provided in the workshop.
  Attendees do not need to bring or prepare anything.

* Attendees may optionally bring their own equipment.
  Contact "supp...@ettus.com" for specific setup requirements.

* For the USRP/GNU Radio Workshop, attendees should have some previous
experience with Linux and using the Linux command line, and basic
familiarity with a programming language such as C, C++, or Python,
and basic fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. For the RFNoC Workshop,
attendees should also have some basic familiarity with Verilog.
Extensive or deep experience with these topics is not necessary.

* Space is limited and will be allocated
  on a first-come,first-serve basis.

* Registration is required in advance, but is completely free.

  GNU Radio Conference 2019

   Huntsville, Alabama, USA

 16-20 September 2019

 Ninth Annual

 https://www.gnuradio.org/grcon-2019/

Registration and Submissions Open in Early 2019

**
The organizing committee for the 2019 GNU Radio Conference (GRCon) has
started planning for the event, and is looking for volunteers to join
the organizing committee. You do not have to be an expert on using
GNU Radio, although some previous experience with Software-Defined
Radio (SDR) and GNU Radio would be necessary. In addition, some
previous experience in planning large-scale events would be needed.
Committee members are expected to attend weekly conference calls and
to allocate approximately between two to five hours per week on
committee and conference activities. As the date of the event gets
closer, the time commitment and activity level may be higher. If you
are interested, please send an email to "gr...@gnuradio.org".

Thank you, and hope to see you all in Huntsville next year!

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] build-gnuradio.sh and Linux Mint 19

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello John:

It looks like support for Linux Mint 19 has not yet been added. See lines
525 through 566. The author can comment on-list with further information.
But you could probably try using the same list of packages as for Mint 18
in line 551.

Hello Ivan:

No, the gr-doa OOT was specifically written to use the X300/X310 and TwinRX.

It would be possible to modify gr-doa to use the UBX, but not the E310.

Full Title:

Introduction to FPGA Programming on the USRP Using the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:

Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is designed
to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA engineers seeking to
integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal processing chain. RFNoC is the
framework for USRP devices that use Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312,
X300, X310). RFNoC is built around a packetized network infrastructure in
the FPGA that handles the transport of control and sample data between the
host CPU and the radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in
the form of RFNoC blocks, which are processing blocks that attach to this
network. RFNoC blocks act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another RFNoC block, the
radio block, or the host CPU). Users can create modular, FPGA-accelerated
SDR applications by chaining RFNoC blocks into a flowgraph. RFNoC is
supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will present an
interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a discussion on its
design and capabilities, demonstrations of several existing examples, and
provide a walk-through on implementing a user-defined RFNoC block,
integrating the RFNoC block into UHD and invoking it from C++, and
integrating the RFNoC block into GNU Radio and invoking it from a
flowgraph. We will also demonstrate how to send command and receive
response packets between RFNoC blocks, as well as discuss test benches in
detail.

Prerequisites:

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using the
Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming language such
as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of fundamental concepts
in DSP and RF. Attendees should also have some basic familiarity with
Verilog. Extensive or deep experience with these topics is not necessary.

Attendees do not have to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.

All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees may optionally bring their own laptops for use in the workshop,
but this is not required. The laptop should have a minimum of 8 GB memory,
60 GB of free disk space, one Ethernet port, and one USB 3.0 port. The
laptop may run Microsoft Windows (7, 8.1, or 10), Apple macOS (10.12 or
10.13), or Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.4, 18.04, or Fedora 27, 28), and must have
both Oracle VirtualBox 5.2 and the VirtualBox Extension Pack installed (we
test with Ubuntu 18.04 and VirtualBox 5.2.14).

==
Details and Logistics:

* The workshops are technical and hands-on, and contains new additional
content.

* Each of the three sessions has the same content. Please only register for
one session.

* The workshop itself is free, but registration with the GNU Radio
Conference is required.

* The registrations for the GNU Radio Conference and for the RFNoC Workshop
are separate.

* Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

* For questions, please email "supp...@ettus.com".

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Underflow and Overflow

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Alvin:

I will emphasize what Derek Kozel and Marcus Mueller have said.

Again, I would recommend that you use a current-generation NVMe SSD from
Intel or Samsung (they're not too expensive), and you will need to test
whether it can sustain the read and write speeds that your flowgraph
requires. In general, I would assume that a Samsung 960 would be capable of
sustaining reading and writing at 20 Msps.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Underflow and Overflow

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Alvin:

Agree with what Nick said. Does the flowgraph run without overruns or
underruns at 5 or 10 Msps?

Does your system have an NVMe solid-state disk?

Also, have you done any performance tuning?
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_transport.html

Have you set the read and write socket buffer sizes?

sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216

Have you set the CPU governors to "performance" mode?
Note that this must be done on a core-by-core basis.
You also need to explicitly set the CPU clock speed to its maximum value.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Same USRP to transmit what it receives from GNU radio

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Maria:

Note that the maximum safe input power for the B200/B210 is 0 dBm, so
definitely use a 30 dB attenuator, as Ian suggested. The transmit side can
output as high as +18 dBm, so it can damage the receive side.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UMTS cell scanner

[Neel Pandeya]

This question is not related to GNU Radio at all.

You should post this question on the openbts-discuss mailing list (
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openbts/lists/openbts-discuss).

Take a look at OpenBTS-UMTS (https://github.com/RangeNetworks/OpenBTS-UMTS)
as a starting point.

It's a partial implementation of WCDMA (3GPP Release 99).

I'm not aware of any WCDMA software stack for the UE side.

Full Title:
Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain)

Abstract:
This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to
the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and
GNU Radio). We will examine the hardware and architecture of the
entire USRP family of software-defined radios. We will discuss topics
such as how to get started using a new USRP device, how to install and
configure the open-source software toolchain, programming the USRP
using the UHD API from C++, using GNU Radio with the USRP and creating
and running flowgraphs, using GNU Radio from both GRC and Python, and
various debugging techniques. Several exercises will be performed,
such as implementing an FM transmitter and receiver. Various
demonstrations of wireless systems will be shown. A discussion of the
embedded E310 radio and using embedded SDR will be included. Several
other open-source tools will be discussed, such as GQRX, Fosphor,
Inspectrum, and several Out-of-Tree (OOT) modules. A discussion of
cellular applications, including OpenBTS and LTE stacks, as well as
GPS/GNSS applications will be presented. Several other miscellaneous
topics such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, host system performance
tuning, X300/X310 device recovery, and some best practices will be
discussed. Attendees should come away with a solid foundation and
practical understanding of how to configure, program, and use the USRP
to implement a wide range range of wireless systems.

Prerequisites:
Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.
All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using
the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming
language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of
fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Extensive or deep experience with
these topics is not necessary.

Attendees may optionally bring their own laptops for use in the
workshop. The laptop should have a minimum of 4 GB memory, 60 GB
of free disk space, one Ethernet port available, and one USB 3.0
port available, and should be able to have Linux installed onto them.

Title:
FPGA Programming on the USRP using the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is
designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA
engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal
processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular,
FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.
RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will
present an interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a
discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several
existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a user-defined
CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

Prerequisites:
Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.
All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using
the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming
language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of
fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Attendees should also have some
basic familiarity with Verilog. Extensive or deep experience with
these topics is not necessary.

Title:
FPGA Programming on the USRP using the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is
designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA
engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal
processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular,
FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.
RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will
present an interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a
discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several
existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a user-defined
CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

Prerequisites:
Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.
All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using
the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming
language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of
fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Attendees should also have some
basic familiarity with Verilog. Extensive or deep experience with
these topics is not necessary.

Full Title:
Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain)

Abstract:
This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to
the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and
GNU Radio). We will examine the hardware and architecture of the
entire USRP family of software-defined radios. We will discuss topics
such as how to get started using a new USRP device, how to install and
configure the open-source software toolchain, programming the USRP
using the UHD API from C++, using GNU Radio with the USRP and creating
and running flowgraphs, using GNU Radio from both GRC and Python, and
various debugging techniques. Several exercises will be performed,
such as implementing an FM transmitter and receiver. Various
demonstrations of wireless systems will be shown. A discussion of the
embedded E310 radio and using embedded SDR will be included. Several
other open-source tools will be discussed, such as GQRX, Fosphor,
Inspectrum, and several Out-of-Tree (OOT) modules. A discussion of
cellular applications, including OpenBTS and LTE stacks, as well as
GPS/GNSS applications will be presented. Several other miscellaneous
topics such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, host system performance
tuning, X300/X310 device recovery, and some best practices will be
discussed. Attendees should come away with a solid foundation and
practical understanding of how to configure, program, and use the USRP
to implement a wide range range of wireless systems.

Prerequisites:
Attendees do not need to bring any USRP radios or laptop computers.
All necessary hardware and software will be provided in the workshop.

Attendees should have some previous experience with Linux and using
the Linux command line, and basic familiarity with a programming
language such as C, C++, or Python, and have basic understanding of
fundamental concepts in DSP and RF. Extensive or deep experience with
these topics is not necessary.

Attendees may optionally bring their own laptops for use in the
workshop. The laptop should have a minimum of 4 GB memory, 60 GB
of free disk space, one Ethernet port available, and one USB 3.0
port available, and should be able to have Linux installed onto them.

Workshop Description:

Full Title:
Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain)

Abstract:
This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to
the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and
GNU Radio). We will examine the hardware and architecture of the
entire USRP family of software-defined radios. We will discuss topics
such as how to get started using a new USRP device, how to install and
configure the open-source software toolchain, programming the USRP
using the UHD API from C++, using GNU Radio with the USRP and creating
and running flowgraphs, using GNU Radio from both GRC and Python, and
various debugging techniques. Several exercises will be performed,
such as implementing an FM transmitter and receiver. Various
demonstrations of wireless systems will be shown. A discussion of the
embedded E310 radio and using embedded SDR will be included. Several
other open-source tools will be discussed, such as GQRX, Fosphor,
Inspectrum, and several Out-of-Tree (OOT) modules. A discussion of
cellular applications, including OpenBTS and LTE stacks, as well as
GPS/GNSS applications will be presented. Several other miscellaneous
topics such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking, host system performance
tuning, X300/X310 device recovery, and some best practices will be
discussed. Attendees should come away with a solid foundation and
practical understanding of how to configure, program, and use the USRP
to implement a wide range range of wireless systems.

Workshop Description:

Full Title:
FPGA Programming on the USRP with the RFNoC Framework

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is
designed to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA
engineers seeking to integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal
processing chain. RFNoC is the framework for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312, X300, X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular,
FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.
RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this workshop, we will
present an interactive hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a
discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of several
existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a user-defined
CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] About GNU Radio installation

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Satoshi-san:

I would recommend installing UHD and GNU Radio from source code. We have
detailed step-by-step instructions for doing this at the link below.

https://kb.ettus.com/Building_and_Installing_the_USRP_Open-Source_Toolchain_(UHD_and_GNU_Radio)_on_Linux

The build-gnuradio script automates much of this, but you will need to
tweak and set the command line arguments.

[Discuss-gnuradio] RFNoC Workshop at GRCon Next Week

[Neel Pandeya]

Ettus Research would like to announce that we will be running an RFNoC
Workshop at the GNU Radio Conference next month.  There will be two
sessions, each with 20 hands-on slots with access to hardware, and 30 slots
for observation from the sidelines.  Registration for the workshop itself
can be done at the links below and is free, but requires paid registration
to the GNU Radio Conference.  Please sign up now, as space is limited.
Details are below.  Please email "supp...@ettus.com" if you have any
questions.  We look forward to seeing you there!

FPGA Programming on the USRP with the RFNoC Framework

Dates/Times:
Two sessions:
* Wednesday September 13, from 14:10 to 17:40
* Friday September 15, from 13:00 to 16:00
The two sessions have the same content.
https://www.gnuradio.org/grcon-2017/program/

Location:
GNU Radio Conference
Bahia Resort Hotel, San Diego, California, USA

Capacity:
At each session:
20 people hands-on
30 people hands-off
50 people total

Abstract:
Ettus Research's RFNoC (RF Network-on-Chip) software framework is designed
to decrease the development time for experienced FPGA engineers seeking to
integrate IP into the USRP FPGA signal processing chain.  RFNoC is the
framework for USRP devices that use Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, E312,
X300, X310).  RFNoC is built around a packetized network infrastructure in
the FPGA that handles the transport of control and sample data between the
host CPU and the radio.  Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA
in the form of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that
attach to this network.  CEs act as independent nodes on the network that
can receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU).  Users can create modular, FPGA-accelerated
SDR applications by chaining CEs into a flow graph.  RFNoC is supported in
UHD and GNU Radio.  In this workshop, we will present an interactive
hands-on tutorial on RFNoC, including a discussion on its design and
capabilities, demonstrations of several existing examples, and a
walk-through on implementing a user-defined CE and integrating the CE into
GNU Radio.

Notes and Prerequisites:

* In each session, there will be 20 hands-on slots.  All necessary USRP
X310 hardware and laptops will be provided in the workshop.  Attendees are
not expected to bring anything.  There will be two people assigned to each
station.  These slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

* In each session, there will be 30 hands-off/observational slots.  No
hardware will be provided.  Attendees are expected to bring their own
personal laptops in order to follow along.  The laptop may be running
Windows, Mac, or Linux.  The laptop should have a minimum of 4 GB memory,
60 GB of free disk space, one Ethernet port available, and one USB 3.0 port
available.  Attendees are expected to be able to install Oracle VirtualBox
5.1.26 with the Extension Pack onto their laptops.  This can be installed
at the start of the workshop.  Ettus Research will distribute a pre-built
VirtualBox virtual machine image which includes all the necessary workshop
tools, software, and materials.  Optionally, attendees may also bring their
own USRP X310 device for use in the workshop.  Note that only the X310 may
be used (not the X300, or any other USRP device).  If doing this, please
let the workshop coordinators know in advance, and arrive at the workshop
20 minutes early for set-up and configuration. Once all the hands-on slots

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Custom C++ blocks on E310

[Neel Pandeya]

Yes, you should be able to start and stop streaming using timed commands on
the E310.

Are you using the Release 4 image?

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Kernel Ubuntu - USB 3.0 trouble - missed packets

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Cristian:

If you use Ubuntu 16.04.2, the kernel is 4.8, which should be fine.

The specific USB controller is also very important. The Intel controllers
work best. Which controller do you have in your system? (run "lspci")

What flow control errors are you seeing? Are there any overruns ("O") or
underruns ("U") printed on the console?

Did you increase the socket buffer sizes?

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Gunradio on RHEL6

[Neel Pandeya]

I would strongly suggest that you use RHEL/CentOS 7 instead, as RHEL/CentOS
6 is quite old now, and the default versions of many packages are old or
obsolete.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gr-doa with B210

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Sumit:

The gr-doa OOT was written to use an X300/X310 with two TwinRX
daughterboards, providing four receive channels. It will not work
out-of-the-box on any other USRP, although it could possibly be modified
for use with different daughterboards (such as SBX or UBX), or with a
B-series radio. However, the B200/B210 are not well-suited for this OOT, as
they cannot provide four phase-coherent channels.

We do not have any specifications on the angular resolution capabilities,
but empirically it can track to within a degree or two, under favorable
signal conditions.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.1 (64-bit) with an E310 right now, and it works

t, the audience will be tasked with
identifying a “mystery waveform” that is being generated in their
vicinity. Using MATLAB/Simulink and the RTL-SDR platform, both of
which will be provided during this event, each team will be given
several partially completed models and some details of the mystery
waveform. The objective of this challenge is to add the remaining
functionality to the models provided and leverage the RTL-SDR in
order to classify the received signal and potentially even decode
the signal.

The learning outcomes of this event include:

* Obtaining an understanding of the MATLAB/Simulink software
environment and its capabilities.

* Gaining knowledge on how MATLAB/Simulink interfaces with the
RTL-SDR device.

* Experience hands-on real-time wireless experimentation using
MATLAB/Simulink and the RTL-SDR in a controlled wireless scenario.

Given the limited number of computer workstations and RTL-SDR
platforms available, this event has a registration limit of 30
individuals (teams of 3 individuals will be formed at this event).

Facilitators: Mike McLernon, Dr Ethem Sozer

   WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

   Hands-On Tutorial on FPGA Computing for SDR with RFNoC
 by Ettus Research

Ettus Research has introduced a platform called RF Network-on-Chip
(RFNoC) which makes FPGA computing for SDR more accessible and
flexible. RFNoC is a new architecture for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, X300, and X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU). This architecture permits scalable
designs that can distribute processing across many nodes. Users can
create modular, FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs
into a flow graph. RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this
workshop, we will present an interactive tutorial on RFNoC, including
a discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of
several existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a
user-defined CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

Prerequisites:

* Attendees are expected to bring their own laptops to the workshop.
The laptop should have at least 2 GB memory, have at least one
Ethernet port and one USB 3.0 port, and be able to boot into a Linux
environment from a USB 3.0 flash drive.

* Attendees must create Xilinx user accounts at least three days
before the workshop, in order to obtain Xilinx licenses for the free
WebPack Edition of Vivado version 2015.4.

USB flash drives and USRP hardware will be provided in the workshop.

Enrollment is limited to 20 people.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] RNURadio Installation on Fedora19 (USRP N200)

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Rupesh:

As I mentioned to you earlier, you can use Marcus Leech's script at
http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio to install UHD and GNU Radio from
source code. The script will automate everything for you.

Do not build the master branch, use only tagged releases: 3.9.3 for UHD;
3.7.9.1 for GNU Radio.

Also, I would suggest that you do not use Fedora 19, as it has been EoL'd.
I would suggest Ubuntu 14.04 instead, specifically 14.04.4. Once you have a
fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04.4 installed, run Marcus Leech's script.
It'll take a hour or so to run, but at the end, you'll have everything
installed.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Reg : build-gnuradio script

[Neel Pandeya]

The "build-gnuradio" script pulls from master by default, so that's why the
UHD version number appears as it does. It's newer than the most recent
tagged release, which is version 3.9.2.

You should ideally use only tagged releases of UHD. To tell the
"build-gnuradio" script to use version 3.9.2, invoke it this way:

./build-gnuradio -ut release_003_009_002

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Saving work on Gnu radio live usb stick

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Yahia:

The GNU Radio Live SDR image [1] does not have persistence, so you will not
be able to permanently save anything to the USB drive. You could use a
second USB drive or a network drive (Samba, SSHFS, NFS), and write to that.
The Ettus Research Live SDR image [2] does have a way to install it that
includes persistence, but that image is one year old, and uses old versions
of UHD and GNU Radio, and will not work with some newer USRP hardware. I
would suggest using the GNU Radio Live SDR image and using a second USB
drive or network drive for storage.

There is work currently being done to add persistence to these Live SDR
images. A new updated image could be ready in a month or two. Please feel
free to check back with me directly.

Totally agreed. I think this is a really important point. It is very
helpful to have a unique Googleable name, especially for beginners.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Renaming PyBOMBS

[Neel Pandeya]

My vote would be for one of these:

GRPM = GnuRadio Package Manager

GRAB = Gnu RAdio Basic installer

GRBI = Gnu Radio Basic Installer

I agree with Tim O'Shea, the name should be something short and functional,
and give an idea of what it does, instead of being cutesy and contrived.

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Ekko:

I'm just following up on this old post. I know that you had been talking
about this issue in some other threads. Do you still have any outstanding
questions or problems regarding this issue??

The most recent E310 image is posted at:

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] running error

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Kerry:

Perhaps your computer is behind a firewall or proxy server?? Many companies
and universities use them, and they often block these type of downloads.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Experience with Ubuntu 15.04 and Gnuradio 3.7.8

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello John:

Ubuntu 15.04 uses the new GCC 5. I haven't yet tried building UHD and GNU
Radio with it myself, but maybe there are issues?? Otherwise, I think you
should be fine.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP/SDR with Gnuradio

[Neel Pandeya]

Hello Antonny:

Your requirements are not very specific, but I think that the B200 should
meet your requirements for doing energy detection for Cognitive Radio. It
works well with GNU Radio, has transmit and receive ports, and is
full-duplex. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
