I have a B210 (original version with white circuit board) with a Jackson Labs GPSDO (TCXO version from Ettus Research). I'm having two problems, but apparent when running the query_gpsdo_sensors utility:
- USRP only sporadically locks to the GPSDO 10 MHz reference. On most runs of query_gpsdo_sensors, it does not report lock.
- The UHD clock isn't getting set according to GPS time. It's my understanding that when a GPSDO module is detected, this should happen automatically.
I've tried this both with and without 6V power. Also as far as I can tell the GPSDO module has been installed correctly. On a cold boot of the B210 and on running the first app that loads the B210 firmware, LEDs D3 and D4 on the GPSDO module and LED100 on the B210 illuminate briefly. A few minutes after cold boot, the GPSDO module starts to blink LED D4 on for 1 second and off for 1 second, which I assume has to do with GPS acquisition.

Is this situation where it was previously working and stopped, or is
this the first time you've had the GPSDO in the B210?

Could you back-out to a previous UHD release and see if that makes a
difference?

If the UHD roll-back doesn't work and you have the means to do so, you
might try pulling the GPSDO off the board and testing it standalone.
http://www.jackson-labs.com/assets/uploads/main/LC_XO_Manual.pdf the
pinout for the module is on page 6 of the PDF, so you should be able to
measure the 10MHz out directly from the GPSDO, as well as monitor the NMEA
output. At the very least, I would think it would help you determine if the
GPSDO is the problem, or your B210 is the problem.

Is there a specific roll-back version of UHD that I should try? I currently don't have a breadboard or power supply to test the GPSDO module separately but I can look at the 10 MHz pin while the board is running on the B210.

If the UHD roll-back doesn't work and you have the means to do so, you might try pulling the GPSDO off the board and testing it standalone. http://www.jackson-labs.com/assets/uploads/main/LC_XO_Manual.pdf the pinout for the module is on page 6 of the PDF, so you should be able to measure the 10MHz out directly from the GPSDO, as well as monitor the NMEA output. At the very least, I would think it would help you determine if the GPSDO is the problem, or your B210 is the problem.

Is this situation where it was previously working and stopped, or is this the first time you've had the GPSDO in the B210?

- The UHD clock isn't getting set according to GPS time. It's my understanding that when a GPSDO module is detected, this should happen automatically.
I've tried this both with and without 6V power. Also as far as I can tell the GPSDO module has been installed correctly. On a cold boot of the B210 and on running the first app that loads the B210 firmware, LEDs D3 and D4 on the GPSDO module and LED100 on the B210 illuminate briefly. A few minutes after cold boot, the GPSDO module starts to blink LED D4 on for 1 second and off for 1 second, which I assume has to do with GPS acquisition.

Well, perhaps someone from R&D could comment possible breakage in this
part of the code UHD 3.10.X isn't a released UHD yet, so maybe something
snuck in.

Could you try 3.8.5?

If the UHD roll-back doesn't work and you have the means to do so, you might try pulling the GPSDO off the board and testing it standalone. http://www.jackson-labs.com/assets/uploads/main/LC_XO_Manual.pdf [2] the pinout for the module is on page 6 of the PDF, so you should be able to measure the 10MHz out directly from the GPSDO, as well as monitor the NMEA output. At the very least, I would think it would help you determine if the GPSDO is the problem, or your B210 is the problem.

Is this situation where it was previously working and stopped, or is this the first time you've had the GPSDO in the B210?

I have a B210 (original version with white circuit board) with a Jackson Labs GPSDO (TCXO version from Ettus Research). I'm having two problems, but apparent when running the query_gpsdo_sensors utility:

- The UHD clock isn't getting set according to GPS time. It's my understanding that when a GPSDO module is detected, this should happen automatically.
I've tried this both with and without 6V power. Also as far as I can tell the GPSDO module has been installed correctly. On a cold boot of the B210 and on running the first app that loads the B210 firmware, LEDs D3 and D4 on the GPSDO module and LED100 on the B210 illuminate briefly. A few minutes after cold boot, the GPSDO module starts to blink LED D4 on for 1 second and off for 1 second, which I assume has to do with GPS acquisition.

I believe there was new code for a GPSD module within the UHD drivers that
was added sometime recently?
