The UHD image is doing a whole lot more than the non-UHD image did. You
get UDP, real flow control, transmit buffering using the SRAM,
synchronization, MIMO cable support, etc.

Is it close, or is it totally missing timing? ISE's somewhat
nondeterministic behavior means that different versions of ISE can
produce very different results. We use 12.1, and the build meets timing.

It seems to be missing by a lot. PAR says after the final phase that:

Phase  9  : 0 unrouted; (Setup:20497, Hold:0, Component Switching 
Limit:0)     REAL time: 4 mins 1 secs

I have also attached the PAR log, which has the full information.

Subject: [USRP-users] Problem with DBSRX2 USRP1 Simulink
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello, 
I have bought a USRP1 and a DBSRX2 dautherboard. I have installed the
drivers for Simulink as indicated in your web site but the dautherboard
results unknown using the block user_helper in the USRP library of Simulink
and so it doesn't acquire the gps signal from antenna. I have read on your
website that the DBSRX2 needs UHD driver so the driver installed recognizes
only the motherboard USRP1 and not the dautherboard. Now I am installing UHD
driver under windows but I am asking how to use the uhd driver with Simulink
and if I can use the USRP library of Simulink as indicated on your website.

 

Please help me as soon as possible.

Greetings,
