Hi All,

There is issue with GPSDO when PCIe connection is used on USRP X310.
On each start of any UHD based program GPSDO gets reset/power cycle.
Just after starting any program that streams/receives samples GPSDO sends through UART following text: **************************************************************Firmware: rev 0.929b , built: Nov 6 2018 14:03:58

and UHD prints warning message:
[WARNING] [GPS] update_cache: Malformed GPSDO string: LC_XO, Firmware Rev 0.929b

This issue makes internal GPSDO in X310 useless when PCIe connection is used as it loses gps lock.

When using Ethernet there's no such issue.


I think it's because that for PCIe FPGA binary is reloaded on each UHD based application start. During programing FPGA lines change state, among them probably GPSDO_PWR_ENA line, what causes GPSDO power to go down for a moment.

Is it possible to avoid reloading FPGA code when PCIe is used, without changing UHD source?
