Re: [USRP-users] Design with Vivado

Thank you for the quick response.

I have another question.. if I have a custom IP core generated with 
System Generator (Simulink/MatLab), can I integrate it with RFNoC?

Hi Mark.  Have you tried ISE on Windows machine?   The Xilinx Linux cable
drivers from that era were quite unreliable.

Alternatively, there are also some old blog posts about Linux workarounds:

I would focus on trying to get Impact working in your environment. 
The Xilinx support forums may be a more fruitful avenue for that part of the

  problem.

 Hi Mark.  One thought-- Vivado does not support the Spartan-3A FPGA on the

 USRP N210.The JTAG protocol should in principal be the same, but 
Vivado
 definitely does not include Xilinx device files for older FPGAs.

Just to follow up, all of the voltages on J105, J104, and J107 are correct.

Re: [USRP-users] Fwd: Re: USRP's B210 sluggish start of transmission

[Piotr Krysik via USRP-users]

Dear list,

Little update on transmitting bursts and simultaneous receiving with
USRP B210. When I connect anything that has some path between TX/RX SMA
port's body and inner female sleeve contact (like 3dB attenuator or even
my finger) the output signal starts to look ok. I don't know what is
causing this and if it can be corrected with a firmware change (I'm not
actively looking for the cause currently).

Best Regards,
Piotr Krysik
