Look at:

/etc/version
/etc/version-image

and

/etc/build (Only on later images)

hi guys,
have some of you succeed using gr-scan with an usrp device?
best regards
?

Hi RV,

I like your straightforward attitude, but:

This sounds like you've tried something, and it failed.
You should definitely describe your problems in greater detail,
otherwise it'll be hard for people to help you.
For example, there's several projects out there that are called gr-scan.
Most of them haven't been updated/maintained in years. Which one are you
referring to?

What are you trying to do?

Generally, I'd like to encourage you to increase the descriptiveness of
your mailing list posts; that'll make it much easier to help you fast :)

Best regards,
Marcus

Elvis,

looks like you're the first to use tune_requests in this fashion.
However, I'm not sure what the correct Boolean representation of a tune
request is -- same with a string.

This is on gr-uhd, and I'm open for suggestions or pull requests.
However, I recommend you simply check the individual class attributes of
your tune request instead (e.g., f.target_freq == <..>).

Cheers,
Martin

Did you rebuild and reinstall UHD, GNU Radio and gr-ettus? Can you
provide a core dump?

Thanks,
Martin

hi marcus,
gr-scan is a linux executable that allow to perform quic radio scan, for
example ./gr-scan -x 150 -y 175 , that ll automaticly scan between 150 &
175 mhz and show result.
unfortunately it see the usrp device but gives lots off error and fail to
scan.
idealy i m looking for a solution with my usr that scan and log
automaticaly, that s why i asked you if some of you succeed to get this
utility working :)
thxx for your time marcus.

Also, as I said, you need to be *descriptive*.
"A lot of errors" helps no-one at helping you. Please apply some more effort in 
reporting problems.

                       WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

                SDR Challenge ? Identifying Mystery
                Waveform Using Simulink and RTL-SDR
                           by MathWorks

During this evening event, the audience will be tasked with
identifying a ?mystery waveform? that is being generated in their
vicinity. Using MATLAB/Simulink and the RTL-SDR platform, both of
which will be provided during this event, each team will be given
several partially completed models and some details of the mystery
waveform. The objective of this challenge is to add the remaining
functionality to the models provided and leverage the RTL-SDR in
order to classify the received signal and potentially even decode
the signal.

The learning outcomes of this event include:

* Obtaining an understanding of the MATLAB/Simulink software
environment and its capabilities.

* Gaining knowledge on how MATLAB/Simulink interfaces with the
RTL-SDR device.

* Experience hands-on real-time wireless experimentation using
MATLAB/Simulink and the RTL-SDR in a controlled wireless scenario.

Given the limited number of computer workstations and RTL-SDR
platforms available, this event has a registration limit of 30
individuals (teams of 3 individuals will be formed at this event).

Facilitators: Mike McLernon, Dr Ethem Sozer

                       WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

       Hands-On Tutorial on FPGA Computing for SDR with RFNoC
                         by Ettus Research

Ettus Research has introduced a platform called RF Network-on-Chip
(RFNoC) which makes FPGA computing for SDR more accessible and
flexible. RFNoC is a new architecture for USRP devices that use
Xilinx 7-series FPGAs (E310, X300, and X310). RFNoC is built around
a packetized network infrastructure in the FPGA that handles the
transport of control and sample data between the host CPU and the
radio. Users target their custom algorithms to the FPGA in the form
of Computation Engines (CE), which are processing blocks that attach
to this network. CEs act as independent nodes on the network that can
receive and transmit data to any other node (e.g., another CE, the
radio block, or the host CPU). This architecture permits scalable
designs that can distribute processing across many nodes. Users can
create modular, FPGA-accelerated SDR applications by chaining CEs
into a flow graph. RFNoC is supported in UHD and GNU Radio. In this
workshop, we will present an interactive tutorial on RFNoC, including
a discussion on its design and capabilities, demonstrations of
several existing examples, and a walk-through on implementing a
user-defined CE and integrating the CE into GNU Radio.

Prerequisites:

* Attendees are expected to bring their own laptops to the workshop.
The laptop should have at least 2 GB memory, have at least one
Ethernet port and one USB 3.0 port, and be able to boot into a Linux
environment from a USB 3.0 flash drive.

* Attendees must create Xilinx user accounts at least three days
before the workshop, in order to obtain Xilinx licenses for the free
WebPack Edition of Vivado version 2015.4.

USB flash drives and USRP hardware will be provided in the workshop.

Enrollment is limited to 20 people.

Facilitators: Jonathon Pendlum, Wan Liu, Neel Pandeya

hi,
sorry again for my post, didn t mean to offense you, was busy with kids and
work, i should have wait before post.
so here is the soft:
https://github.com/pinkavaj/gr-scan

got no error when compile, and when i run it, this is what i get as error
message.

if you have any clues how to fix it, would be great, seems to be a nice
prog.
one thing i ve noticed, they show an example on their website with -o
filename.csv but in real, this option is not any longer available, pitty,
was handy


thxx for your time, and again, my apologies.
best regards

OK, that's a better request. This tells us exactly what software you're
running and gives a very strong indication of where to start debugging.

"FATAL: No supported devices found to pick from."

Here are some things that you can investigate
1) do you see the device with lsusb?
2) do you see the device with uhd_usrp_probe?
3) does this program work with any other receivers (rtlsdr)?
4) can you use your receiver with osmocom_fft?
5) can you use your receiver with uhd_fft?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the patch. I tried today and it fixed the issue that the Rx
noise floor raises along with the increasing Tx gain.
But it seems in the default performance mode, the noise floor is higher
than in the powersave mode and the actual noise figure is also poorer. I'll
do some further test tomorrow and try to tweak the CPLD field options in
db_ubx.cpp.

Br, Hanwen

Hi Hanwen,

We see the same results.  Further investigation into the issue has yielded
the attached updated patch.  We are still working on the issue, but please
try the patch and let me know if it improves the noise figure for you.  It
should work well in performance or powersave mode.

Regards,
Michael

Hello all,

A question similar to the Pulse Radar question asked earlier by Avinash.
I've been working with a possible setup to create radar pulses on USRP 2920
and realized that modifying the carrier wave by modulating it with a square
wave signal is not really working. I was wondering if it possible to
somehow go into the firmware to change the carrier wave it self to say,
maybe change the oscillator going into the mixer (USRP2920 Diagram
<http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/373380B-01/usrphelp/2920_block_diagram/>)
or maybe somehow bypass the mixer (Just have it not oscillate?).

Going further with a topic, I've seen posts that says USRP 2920 could be
used with GNU-Radio but I need to write my own UHD for it. I think this
would be great time for me to learn a lot more about the hardware,
firmware, low level side of GNU radio but honestly, I'm pretty lost and not
sure where to even begin looking, any advice on where to start with
learning more about writing the UHD would be spectacular. Thank you!

Best,
-stak

hi chris,

i am using it on windows,mostyly, but when it agree to connect on linux vm
lsusb sees it

using (on winblows) uhd_usrp_probe gives me this result:

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Dear Shuhei,

those are a bunch of interesting points! So let me address these one-by-one:

> A question similar to the Pulse Radar question asked earlier by

Why so? If your desired pulse bandwidth is within what you can
communicate to the N210, then this /should /work. Now, I'm fully aware
that sending a single burst might not work as expected, because you need
to give the hardware time to power up, but I really don't think that on
a modern machine, 50MS/s of 8bit-samples should be impossible ? for your
pulse, you really don't need high sample resolution.
As a side note: due to the fixed 1/(pulse width)-to-range resolution
relation, SDR doesn't lend itself overly much to the very concept of
pulse radar. If you, instead of a pulse, used a chirp (or some other
high-bandwidth waveform), and used pulse compression (which is what most
low-power radars do nowadays, because you can get a much better SNR with
the same TX power), all these problems disappear.

That's exactly what UHD does when you tune! I don't see why you want to
bypass that?
> or maybe somehow bypass the mixer (Just have it not oscillate?).
And transmit a pulse a 0 Hz? That's not going to work.

I think you're referring to writing your own UHD-based application. Is
that right? Is that a hard requirement? If so, why? What is it that you
need to implement?

Best regards,
Marcus

Is there anything special I need to know about using the headphone jack 
on the E310?  I bought a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter for it and plugged in my 
device, but the audio seems to have a lot of issues coming out in 
stereo.  Maybe it is the connection between the adapter jack and the 
E310, but I thought I would check to make sure there isn't anything I am 
missing.  I am currently using a sample rate of 8k for it.
