I have been using the E100 for about two weeks and have no problems. I have built various GNU Radio Companion projects (text mode no wxgui) and they run fine. Are you trying to be too ambitious with your transmitted bandwidth? The benchmark tests on mine indicate a maximum of 2.4Msps or therea

I cannot comment on the Beagleboard, but using UHD on the E100 works great for me. I have been using it reliably for the last few weeks. I haven't rebuilt UHD in probably a week and a half or so, but I was planning on doing that in the next couple of days using the next branch. I'll let you know

Yeah, I mean ref clock. I actually connect a 10MHz sin wave with 15dBm amplitude to two USRP2, one acting as TX and the other one acting as RX. the reason I am using this ref clock is to avoid the frequency offset between the TX and RX (I have been observing about 1MHz offset between the two).

Hi Guanbo, In my case,  I added a tb.wait() after the tb is unlock to wait for the unlock action finished, so that the last line shows. However, it still gives the carrier wave on the oscilloscope. I also tried top_block._u._subdev.set_enable(False) to completely disable the transmitter then s
