Not able to get UmTRX v2.1 to work with UHD #17

Open proteus-cpi opened 7 years ago

proteus-cpi commented 7 years ago

Trying to get couple of UmTRX v2.1 working with UHD with no luck :( Steps followed:

  1. built and installed GNURadio and uhd using pybombs
  2. Checked out UHD-Fairwaves repo from GitHub.
  3. Rebuilt "host" software and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the .so plugin

  4. Flashed the stock images from "./images" folder.

    • Flashing went fine.
    • On reset, noticed that the baud rate for the production image has changed from 230400 to 115200
    • tried _uhd_finddevice
      • No device found.
      • The debug console showed output similar to
    
USRP N210 UDP bootloader
FPGA compatibility number: 9
Firmware compatibility number: 12
SPI Flash has been initialized
Production image = 0
Checking for valid production FPGA image...
Valid production FPGA image found. Attempting to boot.

  1. Rebuilt fpga and zpu firmware and flashed them
      * Flashing O.K.
      * Booted into image O.K.
      * tried uhd_find_device. 
        * No device found.
        *  Debug console shows same output as above.

What is the procedure to get the latest UHD-Fairwave working with UmTRX v2.1?
Any help  appreciated.

Further observations

Made some further investigation. Found that UHD was not able to locate the umtrx plugin "libumtrx.so". The path was added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But it looks like it is not sufficient and instead should be specified in UHD_MODULE_PATH.

uhd_find_devices

However the program got stuck at that point. Debug console meanwhile shows:

Looks like there is still some version incompatibility between the UmTRX firmware and the libumtrx.so, though they were built out of the same checkout.

uhd_usrp_probe

Also _uhd_usrpprobe crashed after outputing a few parameters from segmentation violation.

Made some progress!

The latest libumtrx.so built from commit a59b9c381a81443165bfcdc212f5ee190d2f7f28 against Ettus UHD release_003_010_000_000 looks mostly working.

Probably not everything is OK! The following appreared on the debug console!

Would appreciate information about the latest verified sets of UHD, UMTRX_UHD modules that are known to work together from the UmTRX team.

Regards

Robert-steve commented 7 years ago

Hi, I would like to know what os you are using. I am also having problems with the UHD.

proteus-cpi commented 7 years ago

Am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit. USRP B200 works without a problem.

Regards

Robert-steve commented 7 years ago

I had it working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit with uhd-release_003_009_005.

proteus-cpi commented 7 years ago

Cool! Will try uhd-release_003_009_005.

Did you use the latest on the master branch of UHD-Fairwaves to build libumtrx.so against the UHD uhd-release_003_009_005?

Tried it, UHD_003.009.005-0-g32951af2 with latest UHD-Fairwave. But still got the message on debug console:

!Error in control packet handler: Expected compatibility number 12, but got 1
!Error in control packet handler: Expected payload length 36, but got 16

Something is still not that right.

Thanks

Robert-steve commented 7 years ago

Did you try to download the appropriate firmware and fpga found in UHD-Fairwaves/images/ ?
