Discussion and technical support related to USRP, UHD, RFNoC
View all threadsHi,
Is it possible to receive data from 4 channels simultaneously of usrp 2955 using PCIe ? Which version of Linux and grc should be installed for that?

Hi Koyel,
The NI 2955 (hardware-wise: an X310 with TwinRX daughterboards) can be
used with modern GNU Radio.
I'd think you'll be most happy with installing Ubuntu Linux 20.04LTS,
from which
sudo apt install gnuradio
will give you a working GNU Radio, and a matching UHD.
(Don't follow any other guides on installing UHD – you've already got
the recommended version, then, and installing anything else is just
asking for trouble)
Best regards,
Marcus

Yes. That's why I recommended it.
(also, GNU Radio Companion is the GUI. GNU Radio is the framework!)

Hi Marcus,
I am aloso thinking of moving to Ubuntu 20.4 eventually.
Does it mean that:
sudo apt install gnuradio
Will install gnuradio, GRC as well as UHD? How about gr-ettus?
BTW, what is the real function og GR-Ettus?

If you're asking this, you don't need it!
gr-ettus (the capitalization matters) is a GNU Radio out-of-tree module
which you need if you want to develop GNU Radio applications that
involve custom RFNoC data flows. Few USRP users want to do this.
I am aloso thinking of moving to Ubuntu 20.4 eventually.
Does it mean that:
sudo apt install gnuradio
Will install gnuradio, GRC as well as UHD?
Yes.
How about gr-ettus?
No. But unless you know what you need it for, you don't have to install it.
In case you really want it: to install it under Ubuntu 20.04, you
have to build it from source. It's easy – you only need to build
gr-ettus from source, not GNU Radio, and not UHD (don't do either, in fact).
Building it is relatively easy under Ubuntu 20.04 (please check that
none of the commands below fail before proceeding to the next one)
sudo apt install --install-recommends -y libuhd-dev gnuradio-dev git cmake swig liborc-0.4-dev
git clone -b maint-3.8 https://github.com/EttusResearch/gr-ettus
cd gr-ettus
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(gnuradio-config-info --prefix) ..
make -j
sudo make install
cp install_manifest.txt ~/gr-ettus-install_manifest.txt
Done!
If you should ever need to uninstall your gr-ettus,
sudo xargs rm -rf < ~/gr-ettus-install_manifest.txt
Best regards,
Marcus
Thanks Marcus for the info.
