Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] pipes for today

[Krzysztof Kamieniecki]

Eric,

Have you made any progress with this? 

I'm having a problem that may be related. The blocks are layed out like this.

USRP Rx -> ... -> pipe

gr_sig_source -> ... -> USRP Tx

When running in gdb:
1. I wait for it to lockup
2. hit Ctrl-Z (to get into gdb)
3. type continue
4. more data is processed with a bunch of uU printed
5. software lockups again
6. goto 2

When I hit Ctrl-Z the Tx thread always seems to be in ioctl in _reap. Is this
normal?

Attached is a file with bt's for each of the threads
Thread 1 is Python/Wx, which seems to lockup
Thread 2 seems to be the USRP Tx graph
Thread 3 seems to be the USRP Rx graph
Thread 4 is my pipe monitoring thread, which does not lockup
