Hi,

I started to use usrp2 + wbx with uhd last week. And i install uhd and
burned required images to sd card.
At the end i can take samples from usrp2 as i expected. Thanks for your works.
But i want to try mimo cable with my 2 usrp2s to receive sync data.
I read some manuals but i dont understand exactly what i need to do.
Can you explain about configuration with details for mimo cable support, please.
For example;
How should i use usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin and packet_router.bin?
Is there any sample program for testing mimo?

Thanks...

yes, until the mimo-cable support becomes mainline, use
http://www.ettus.com/downloads/uhd_images/experimental/UHD-mimo-cable-support/

Is there any sample program for testing mimo?

Not yet. The docs above should help to clarify the usage though.

Also, you could put an app together in GRC rather quickly with the
multi-usrp source/sink blocks.

hi,
I think this is very easy to answer for you but i really don't understand what
is the procedure for mimo support.

I burned the usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin to sd card and then usrp2 does not load cpld and
fw as i understood from usrp2's leds.

I don't know how can i get fpga image and fw image to burn sd card.
Please help...

Hi Josh,
I think i solve my problem. I misunderstood your first explanation. Sorry...
Please check my configuration. These steps are right? I can get data from my
usrp2 now (with below configuration) but i don't try mimo yet.
Step 1) I download the packet_router branch and build it as host.
Step 2) I burned sd card with usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin as FW image and
packet_router.bin as FPGA image.

Hi all,

I can't pull the packet_router branch via the http repo. Is it mirrored
from the GIT repo or am I doing something wrong?

The USRP2 should appear to function as normal. Make sure

By nature, its completely transparent. So everything should work. You
can use the multi or single usrp blocks.

hi,

after doing all steps which described below, i can find my devices with
uhd_find_devices. i connected 2 usrp2s together with mimo cable. and only one of
them connected to host(pc) with ethernet. the result is;

Please check my configuration. These steps are right? I can get data from my

Step 1) I download the packet_router branch and build it as host.

Correct

Step 2) I burned sd card with usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin as FW image and

Hi,
Please help, i get errors when i run uhd_usrp_probe andrx_samples_to_file.
Details;

After build and install  packet_router(for host), burn images that supports
mimo, connect only one usrp2 to ethernet and

don't connect mimo cable anywhere, i get these results;
When i run uhd_find_devices and the result is

but when i runuhd_usrp_probe, it returns error as

After these errors i deleted related local folders then i build and install
packet_router branch again.

But i have already the same problems.
Is there any solution?

Thanks...

From your previous email, everything seems to work perfectly. Can you

try power cycling? Different cable arrangements? How repeatable are your
results?

I tried power cycling, reburned FPGA and FW images, rebuild and reinstall host, tried different ethernet cables, tried different gig ethernet interface and different usrp2s but these results didn't change. But sometimes when i run uhd_usrp_probe and rx_samples_to_file, they works correct. Most cases i got error messages. These errors can be related with my ethernet interfaces' configuration? Or maybe i changed usrp2s' eeproms(db or mb) somethings wrong?
These errors occoured after that i tried to connect both usrp2s to the host with their dedicated ethernet interface and at the same time i connected mimo cable. When i run uhd_find_devices at this configuration, found 4 usrp2s.

Thank you for your interest and sorry for my bad english :)
