Re: [USRP-users] MIMO cable support

Hi,

Sync is automatic over the cable, so you dont need to even do "unknown
pps" option. See the docs in host/docs/usrp2.rst about the cable

I am sorry to ask again, but the UHD multi_usrp block seems not to be
capable to deal with the MIMO cable.
I detect both URSP2

/>uhd_find_devices
linux; GNU C++ version 4.4.5 20101112 (Red Hat 4.4.5-2); Boost_104100;
UHD_0001.20101214073928.4d9b9ae


-- UHD Device 0

Device Address:
type: usrp2
addr: 192.168.20.2

serial: 00:50:c2:85:39:95


-- UHD Device 1

Device Address:
type: usrp2
addr: 192.168.10.2
name:
serial: 00:50:c2:85:36:8c/

I can see spectra when I run single_ursp mode in GRC, but the multi_usrp
block gives me this error

/Linux; GNU C++ version 4.4.5 20101112 (Red Hat 4.4.5-2); Boost_104100;

UHD source block got error code 0x1
gr_block_executor: source <gr_block uhd multi_usrp source (1)> produced
no output.  We're marking it DONE./

See also the attached screenshot for settings used on the block. I tried
assigning the second device an IP of 192.168.10.3 and removing the
second Ethernet cable, but then the device is neither detected by
uhd_find_devices nor within GRC.

So how can I get both devices sample synchronously with the uhd
multi_usrp source block?

Regards,
Thomas
