Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] unexpected underruns

Hi Marcus,

My goal is to first build a 2-by-2 space multiplexing MIMO using two X310s and GNU Radio. As I'm new to all this stuff, I'm starting from building 2 parallel SISOs. If there are some good kick-start materials or any resources, they will be very valuable. Thanks.

Hi Rui,

sorry, I might simply have missed those, and didn't find your first email when I saw your recent one! I apologize.

So, hm, interestingly, we have a severe bug in the packet_encoder block (its design is pretty bad, and that triggers an unexpected behaviour underneath). That might mean the packet_encoder is just consuming items as fast as it can, without actually producing packets. In other words, packet_encoder is broken; you can't use it right now.

The more appropriate way of dealing with data might be in the example flowgraphs that you'd find under /usr/[local/]share/doc/gnuradio/examples/digital/packet_loopback_hier.grc ; it's a lot more complicated, though, and you'd have to write a message / PDU source that gives you the data you want to transmit, rather than the Random PDU block!

I don't really know if that is the way to go. What is it, that you want to build? Maybe the mailing list can advise?

Best regards,

Marcus

Here are the two flowgraphs I have used. I have tried to attach the two files in my first email. Probably failed in doing that. If still not seen, please let me know so I will try again. Thanks for your help.

Running the first flow graph will cause GRC stop responding instantly, while the second one can run for a little while and produce lots of 'L' before going not responsive.

Hi Rui,

don't know, to me, it looks like replying didn't work out great, since my mail client showed your mail in a new thread. Really, replying to a mailing list mail should be nothing more than hitting the "reply" or "reply all" button.

Anyway, even the slowest PC/laptop/Raspberry Pi/… I could think of would be able to deal with these rates, so there's very, very likely something wrong with the GNU Radio flowgraph you're using. Maybe you'd want to share that!

Best regards,

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Sorry for leaving the title empty, that's the first time to post to a mailing list. This is also the first time to reply, no sure if I replied correctly.

I use 390.625k as the sampling rate because this is the lowest I can get using the Ettus X310 without giving me a warning saying that the sampling rate cannot be provided by the hardware. The application is just transmitting a file using GMSK modulation on the two daughter boards of X310.
