Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] N210 XCVR2450

Hi,

I have replaced XCVR2450 with LFTX and checked the output using an 
oscilloscope. I have applied an AM signal with 100KHz carrier frequency and 
10KHz message signal frequency. I selected the amplitudes so that total signal 
amplitude is always less than 1. Sampling frequency is selected as 1MHz. For 
003.002.000 release the output is not as expected. However, for 003.002.001 
release the output matches to the expected waveform. However, XCVR2450 did not 
work with 003.002.001 release. I attached the error. I also tried to recompile 
and reinstall UHD and gnuradio. Unfortunately the result is the same.
Any suggestions?

First, don't upload r4 images to your N210. Use the version that
corresponds to the sticker on the back of your N210, which is R2 since
we haven't actually shipped any rev 4 units yet. Using rev 4 FPGA images
on your rev 2 N210 will result in transmitting and receiving nothing but
zero samples.

Other than that, your flowgraph looks OK and you should see something on
your receiver spectrum.
