Hi all,

I need to control the AD9361 in the USRP board and I have the AD93611_ctrl.cpp code.

The question is if I can just build the ad9361_ctrl.cpp and run the .exe file to control it in the board (Not sure if it will send to the AD9361 in the board) or must I build a certain top  file that is higher 'hierarchy' and then edit the ad9361_ctrl.cpp file, build the top file . So that the board can reads it and if this is so, may I know which file to build so that it also consist of the ad9361.cpp files.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I'll admit, I do not know how to answer these specific questions because
they're pretty far outside the typical use case of the b200 device.
However, Nick Foster and others have already responded to similar questions
about your application. Please explain your results when you followed their
advice. In summary:

  1. Do not edit the fpga for b200. Use off-the-shelf UHD software to
    generate a chirp.

  2. Read the user manual that describes how to use the b200.

There's many people here who could help you generate and transmit a chirp
in software without modifying the fpga. Editing the fpga to do the same
task is probably not necessary with the B200. If you believe fpga edits are
required, please explain why the provided UHD interface is not sufficient
for your application.

Thanks,
EJ
