the cpuinfo denotes the speed as 993 MHz.
I am currently following this formula for calculating the interpolation
and decimation rates.

r_tx = r_dac / interp / sps
r_rx = r_adc / decim / sps

Where r_dac is the DAC rate, r_adc is the ADC rate, interp is the
interpolation rate, decim is the decimation rate, and sps is the
samples per symbol. With the values sps = 8, r_dac  = 128e6, r_adc = 64e6
and r_tx = r_rx = 32e3 bps, I get interp = 500, and decim = 250. I use
these interp and decim values when initializing the USRP. I was earlier
using additional software interpolation using a low pass filter, but I
have now removed it.

Can someone please tell me why I still get "uOuOuO" message on both Tx and
Rx ? I am trying to transmit a file and I believe this is the reason it is
not getting received properly.

thanks and regards,
Sumit
