[Discuss-gnuradio] Rebuilding the USRP2 Firmware in ISE 11.4

2010-02-12 Thread Tracey Bernath
Just curious, Has anyone actually been able to rebuild the fpga bitfile using ISE 11.4? I loaded the files from the latest git and the .ucf, and I had 239 timing errors when the process completed. I just thought before I started ripping through it I would ask. Thanks, TMB ___

Hi Ed - Thanks for the feedback, it's useful; I don't mind being wrong! I'll have to set up my Mac to do multi-boot (10.5 and 10.6) in order to further test this issue out. That said, the kernel bit-tage doesn't really matter since it's the compiler that determines the applications bit-ta

Hi Affan - Glad to hear you're up and running, and using PPC and 10.5. If you're planning on using a USRP, I hope you have a USB 2.0 adapter ... those older PPC Macs didn't do USB 2.0 very well. Hmm ... that's all quite strange; by default how-to is installed into / usr/local , with the pyt

Hi All, I need to make some modifications on the USRP2 board. It seems I cannot download the code from: git clone git://git.ettus.com/ettus/fpga.git. I don't know why. Does anyone know where I can get the Verilog codes and rebuild them? -- Best Regards! ___

Tom, thanks for the info. So to clarify, the frame length is fixed for the transmission to a certain number (say 400 bytes) so the system waits until it collects 400 bytes worth of data and then it generates and transmits it using a burst of 1 training and 16 data OFDM symbols. If the number o
