Overflowing some part of the chain with 6MSPS config #19

Closed n0p closed 7 years ago

n0p commented 7 years ago

I am using an airspy mini with this config: ` [osmosdr-source] device_args='airspy=0,bias=1' sample_rate=6000000 center_freq=1622000000

bandwidth=6000000

gain=18 `

And a couple of seconds after running iridium-extractor, the output starts spitting OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs: iridium-extractor -D 4 airspy.conf | grep "A:OK" > nfs/output.bits gr-osmosdr v0.1.4-75-gae686c46 (0.1.5git) gnuradio v3.7.10.1-190-g3f14e437 built-in source types: file osmosdr fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd hackrf bladerf rfspace airspy redpitaya Using AirSpy MINI v1.0.0-rc10-0-g946184a 2016-09-19, samplerates: 3M 6M (RF) Gain: 18.0 (Requested 18) Warning: Setting bandwidth to 10000000.0 1483815950 | i: 0/s | i_avg: 0/s | q: 0 | q_max: 0 | o: 0/s | ok: 0% | ok: 0/s | ok_avg: 0% | ok: 0 | ok_avg: 0/s | d: 0 1483815951 | i: 0/s | i_avg: 0/s | q: 0 | q_max: 0 | o: 0/s | ok: 0% | ok: 0/s | ok_avg: 0% | ok: 0 | ok_avg: 0/s | d: 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO1483815952 | i: 0/s | i_avg: 0/s | q: 0 | q_max: 1 | o: 0/s | ok: 0% | ok: 0/s | ok_avg: 0% | ok: 0 | ok_avg: 0/s | d: 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO1483815953 | i: 1/s | i_avg: 0/s | q: 0 | q_max: 1 | o: 1/s | ok: 0% | ok: 0/s | ok_avg: 0% | ok: 0 | ok_avg: 0/s | d: 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO1483815954 | i: 9/s | i_avg: 3/s | q: 0 | q_max: 4 | o: 8/s | ok: 20% | ok: 1/s | ok_avg: 15% | ok: 2 | ok_avg: 0/s | d: 0 OOOOOOOOOOOO^C

It seems to work, but I don't know how to fix this.

This is strange. You are getting lots of overflows but almost no bursts detected. Is your machine fast enough to run the FFT? What does top say (press H to see which thread is consuming most of the resources)? Is the CPU busy at all?

n0p commented 7 years ago

That may be it, I'm using a pine64 board, it has a 1.2 Ghz Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 with 2GB of RAM and Debian 64 (armhf)

But the top shows a top usr load of 75% in any core (20 to 40% idle) and iridium-extractor using a 250% CPU, maybe I'm reading these wrongly.

Also, same CPU figures for 3MSPS but no OOOOOO's

Ok, it seems that the SOC is reaching 73ºC and throttling the CPU :/ Sorry for bothering you
