It applies to C0, and yes, it can be configured to fill in buffers with whatever fill method is required. BUt my main point is that it makes more sense to apply RF mute in osmo-trx since it knows/controls the HW. This means for some HW it could for instance turn off specific baseband HW to avoid consuming/heating while locked, or avoid spending CPU time. -- To view, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bts/+/19827 To unsubscribe, or for help writing mail filters, visit https://gerrit.osmocom.org/settings Gerrit-Project: osmo-bts Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Change-Id: I1423ddb390ef327ec7d4a27de2ac5dca663773a5 Gerrit-Change-Number: 19827 Gerrit-PatchSet: 2 Gerrit-Owner: pespin <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins Builder Gerrit-Reviewer: fixeria <[email protected]> Gerrit-Reviewer: pespin <[email protected]> Gerrit-CC: Hoernchen <[email protected]> Gerrit-Comment-Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 11:20:12 +0000 Gerrit-HasComments: No Gerrit-Has-Labels: No Gerrit-MessageType: comment
