RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD problem

[Per Zetterberg]

Two questions:

How large is the fpga buffer ?

Does this imply that it would be fairly straightforward for a FPGA-skilled 
person (i.e. not myself) to implement decimation=1 ?
I mean, not continous streaming, but using the FPGA to store short bursts.

You have done nothing wrong. This is a result of the transmit SM in the
FPGA using ethernet pause frames to flow control the transmit. The pause
frame is blocking the transaction from the issue stream command, and
causing the timeout error (no response).

Sending a large packet (greater than the fpga buffering) several seconds
in the future will cause the FPGA to issue these pause frames and it
will last for several seconds (until the transmit packets are processed).

Understanding that, it may be possible for you to work around this by
making the sends in the future sooner (within 100 ms). Or issue the
stream command before any sending occurs. In the long run, we are
working on a host based flow control to avoid using the pause frames.

Hope that helps,
