Hallo,
We're about to migrate from multi-usrp-application with UHD 3.9 and custome
FPGA to UHD 3.14 with RFNoC. We are using the USRP x310 with daughterboards
ubx-160. Everything seems to work fine except that when we stop our
application in the terminal with ctrl-c, a new startup is only possible
after a powercycle of all USRP's.
The problem is, that we can connect our RFNoC-blocks and start streaming,
but without a powercycle the recv() function starts after several
successfully received packets to produce continuously the following error
and hangs in this state:
[ERROR] [STREAMER] The receive packet handler failed to time-align packets.
1002 received packets were processed by the handler.
However, a timestamp match could not be determined.
For me it is not clear, where to search for the problem. We set sudo sysctl
net.core.rmem_max=33554432.
Following our code for initializing the USRPS and RFNoC:
//=======================
//Setup a RX usrp device:
//=======================
multiUSRP =
uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::make(parser.value("args").toStdString());
//create multi-USRP
QThread::sleep(1); //allow for some setup-time
if(parser.value("args") == "") //show default values
{
uhd::device_addr_t hint("");
std::vector<uhd::device_addr_t> addresses =
((multiUSRP->get_device())->find(hint));
QString address =
QString::fromUtf8((addresses[0].to_string()).c_str());
QStringList addressList = address.split(",");
QString args = addressList[0] + ",";
for(int i = 0; i < addresses.size(); i++)
{
address = QString::fromUtf8((addresses[i].to_string()).c_str());
addressList = address.split(",");

(addressList[1].split("="))[1] + ",";
