Fw: UHD Announcement - December 13th 2010 - MIMO cable support

Is the FPGA code for mimo cable support available? Is that also on the
packet_router branch (you mention only the host code below)? If not, how
can I access it?

Yes available. usrp2_txrx_uhd.bin is the FW image and packet_router.bin FPGA
image. You can burn these images directly to the sd card(for usrp2).
The images are here;
http://www.ettus.com/downloads/uhd_images/experimental/UHD-mimo-cable-support/

Also, are there example host programs that exercise this code?

Not  yet.

Here is  an excerpt from the docs on the MIMO cable in UHD:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Using the MIMO cable, two USRP devices can be grouped together in a
multi-device configuration.
Only one device in the configuration can be attached to the ethernet.
This device will be referred to as the master, and the other device, the

slave.

  • The master provides reference clock and time synchronization to the slave.
  • All data passing between the host and the slave is routed over the MIMO
    cable.
  • Both master and slave must have different IPv4 addresses but in the same
    subnet.
  • The master and slave may be used individually or in a multi-device
    configuration.

I hope that explains it. Feedback is welcome!

I am looking for the verilog source, since I need to modify it, not just
the binaries. Thanks.

By "everything imploded", do you mean that the code does not
compile/work correctly? If it does compile and work correctly, would you
be able to provide a copy even if it is not mature/fully cleaned up?

I would really appreciate your help if it's possible. I know it is the
holiday season, so apologies for troubling you - just wanted to see if I
could get code that I could work with over the break.

Thanks,
Arun

Work on the MIMO cable support is continuing on the "next" branch of the
uhd repository.
http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/repository/show?rev=next

All relevant fpga code can be found on the next branch in the fpga
directory.

The accompanying pre-built images for this branch can be found here:

Feedback is welcome,
