Hi All,

Can anyone having successful experience with X310 + two BasicRX Daughterboards confirm that such a setup works? We can make it work for the following settings: i) X310 + one BasicRX, ii) X310 + two BasicTX, iii) X310 + two SBX for both TX and RX, iv) two N210 + MIMO cable + two BasicRX. But we are not able to make it work for X310 + two BasicRX. We tried different UHD versions (4.2, 3.15, etc.) and got no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

There is some updated documentation for basic_rx with X3xx with UHD 4 here:

    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!

        What is your complete hardware configuration?  I assume 2  x
        BasicRX and
        2 x Basic TX?

        It may just be the case that your computer simply isn't up to
        the task
        of moving 20Mssp of data in and out of the radio, along with
        doing 2 x
        FFTs and computing the
           noise sources.
