Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Support for 8-bit USB samples in GRC

Perhaps there's should be a "firmware" parameter in the USRP source/sink blocks. I want to avoid this if possible. If we only need to use this firmware when decim < 8, then that can be done inside the grc usrp code But if someone wants to disable the halfband filters and TX when decim >

Hi, When working with 8 bit samples, you must disable FPGA halfband filter see (http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/UsrpFAQ/DDC). To do so, the USRP (via GRC) should load the "std_4rx_0tx.rbf" image. Best Regards, Firas ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing l

According to this: http://gnuradio.org/trac/browser/gnuradio/trunk/gr-usrp/apps/usrp_rx_cfile.cc#L87 if you dont like half band filters or you want to decimate by 4, "std_4rx_0tx.rbf" is the firmware for you > so, it seems that the correct thing to do in grc would be to set this spec
