Below is a more detailed description of our issue.

1. We have an X310 with two BasicRX boards installed (no BasicTX). We tried
to read the two data streams from X310 on a computer at a sampling rate
5Msps. The computer displays "OOOOOOOOOOOO" overflow constantly. We tried
other sampling rates such as 1Msps and 10Msps, the observation is the same.

We found that the LED lights on the X310 panel are abnormal. When X310
works in RX mode, the two LED lights (RF A's RX2 LED and RF B's RX2 LED)
should be on, but we observed they were flashing. Also, the LINK LED should
be on in RED, but we observed that it was flashing in ORANGE.

We reloaded the FPGA image, but the problem is consistent.

2. We removed BasicRX from X310's RF B channel, and tested one data stream
from X310 RF A's channel, it works (no overflow). We are sure that the two
BasicRX boards have no problem, as they are brand new.

3. We removed two BasicRX boards and installed two BasicTX boards on the
same X310. We used GNU RADIO to send two data streams to X310 for signal
transmission. It works well and has no overflow issue.

We want to test X310's RF B channel, but we do not know how to set the
parameters so that GNU Radio can read the data stream from X310's RF B
channel. Would it be an argument like "subdev=B"? It looks like GNU Radio
always gets data stream from RF A channel if we set the channel number to
1. Please suggest if it is possible.

Any suggestion and help would be appreciated!
