Hi there.
Im a long time USRP/UHD/GNURadio user. Very familiar with all 3. Im doing
my first project with RFNoC using an X310 to showcase its capabilities and
add a custom block. I’ve built 2 custom images per the tutorials on the
knowledge base. 1 has the core blocks with FFT added (from the knowledge
base example) and the second has the fft and fosphor block added.
So far the radio->DDC example flowgraph works fine on the base image.
When I load the FFT/fosphor image and run the fosphor flowgraph:
Radio->DDC->FFT->Fosphor->Streamer->Fosphor Display
The display works, but the screen locks up, the size can’t be adjusted,
none of the widget controls work (gain, freq) and closing the
window/pressing stop in GRC also does nothing. I have to force quit the
application or kill -9 to stop it. At very low sample rates (like 1Msps) it
can keep up and behave as normal. 5Msps, i'm able to close but have a
significant delay before it shuts down. Anything above that runs it into
the ground.
To me, this behavior feels similar to running a high-rate flowgraph with no
throttle or clock source and the GUI gets nuked from all the data coming
through.

Any idea how to debug this problem or what might be causing these issues?
Is there a way to offer a more detailed explanation of how to use fosphor
in the new RFNoC? The only explanation for how to use the newest fosphor
that I can find is here:

My system is the following
Ubuntu18.04LTS
GNURadio maint-3.8
UHD4.0
gr-ettus master

Any thoughts or ideas would be really helpful.

Thanks,
B
