SRSLTE NOT DETECTING XB300 #786

Open ramgaik opened 2 years ago

ramgaik commented 2 years ago

Issue Description

I have a srsLTE project running with bladeRF X40. Now I want to enhance bladeRF Transmission power so I have purchased amplifier XB300. Using the wiki page I have setup the XB300 with bladeRF X40. The connections are ok, the amplifier enabled successfully, the PA enabled successfully and the LNA also enabled successfully. But when I user to start srsenb it is not recognizing the XB 300.

Setup Details

My srsLTE is working fine with bladeRF X40 but the srsenb is not reading the amplfier board XB300

Expected Behavior

The srsenb should have start with the XB300

Actual Behaviour

srsenb not reading the amplifier board XB300 and returning with an error that no RF front end found.

Steps to reproduce the problem

setting of srsLTE with bladeRF X40 and XB300

Additional Information

[Any additional information, configuration or data that might be necessary to reproduce the issue]

You need to share logs, console output etc. Compare it with the bladeRF wiki etc and other sources that may use the XB300

Thank for the reply.

1. Console output is as follows****

Well, the blade is not even loading

Sir, thanks for your interest in the issue.

  1. The bladeRF working fine when used alone.Everything is ok while using the sdr alone but when I connect the amplifier and enable it using console the amplifier enable LED, PA LED and LNA LED glows which means that the amplifier is connected and enabled.
  2. But when I run srsenb then the problem occurs even though the amplifier LEDs are glowing.
  3. My observation is that when I enable the amplifier using console then the srsenb is assuming that the SDR is being used by another process that's why it is generating the error.
  4. Now i am not able to find any way to enable the amplifier using srsenb script

Thanks
